Ph level

[Fnq.narbs]

What ph level does everyone recomend, I’m using advanced nutrients micro,grow & bloom which is made specifically for the plants but I’m getting a reading of around 4.7 and I’ve been told 6.8 is the go, should I raise the ph of my solution or keep it as recommended as its cup winning nutrients, cheers

Hey Fnq,

Your pH is real important as your plant can only use nutes within a narrow band too high or too low and you get whats known as nute 'lock out'

Here's a chart which shows the optimum range

As for your "...cup winning nutrients..." that's an advertising ploy. Don't be holding too much faith in such statements

Yes as pointed out above around 5.7ish is a good spot to aim for.

 

If you're down in the 4's it sounds like there's too much pH down getting added. I'm guessing you're setting your pH before adding your nutrient, which is fine, and actually the best way to mix nutrient, just add a bit less.

Bufo, I thought you were dead . I use to argue with you and nibbler long ago.

 

Nibbler I could understand, but not bufo..

I am using Reizeger which recommends a range of 5.2 to 5.7 ,so I lower mine to 5.2 and then let it go until it reaches 5.8. Should I be letting it go through to 6.1 before adjusting? Edited August 6, 2019 by Dhufish7

5.8 or 6.1 not much difference really, so no big deal.

 

As long as the pH down doesn't start accumulating and head towards 4.

Hi there,

For my circumstance, I found out that I need more PH down added if I add the nute to first. I aimed @ 5.8 during veggies and 6.1-6.2 during flowering, and my water PH is 7.5.
