tested ph on second water at about day 17 and it was super low 4.6. Could this be due to nite lock out or cal mag def? Or something else? Other than that she’s growing like a beast now on day 28 starting to notice brown spots.
Yes I watered 1 gallon, microbes (fox farm microbrew) only, it’s in 6 gallon bucket with fox farm ocean forest soil. I messed up and put ph down in the water before adding microbes. So I’m thinking after adding microbes brought down ph even more and I didn’t notice the low ph until second watering at day 22.
I'll bet my left................arm that that's what happened. Microbe brew is an "organic fertilizer" I believe.....meaning it feeds the living microbes in the soil....not the plants directly....so it can take a bit longer for you to see results using that compared to say...."bottled nutes" I would see how the plant(s) react to the Ph change and go from there...
I have a ph pen, maybe need to wait longer to test before adding. I’ll hold off 30 minutes before adding next time. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Thanks! It’s still moist underneath the soil, I’ll wait a few more days or until the bucket is lighter and add nutes. Should I hold off on the cal mag? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
