    A lot of growers like their PH to be at a certain number. so im eager to hear what number and why. Simple explanation will do.

    Me personally i like mine at 5.8 for hydro and 6.8 for soil.

    Knowing micro nutes are used at dif. pH levels i allow the pH to swing naturally in soil from 6.1-6.9 and hydro from 5.3-6.0.

    This allows all available nutes to get to the plant with the least amt. of pH adj. chems. to be used.

    depends on the strain and age but generally I start mine at 5.8 in hydro and go up to 6.5 gradually during the grow

    5.2-5.8 in hydro as said earlier i vary this every tank change so the girls can take full range of nutes they can take up..

    Soil I like to keep mine around 6.5, this way when I feed nutrients the chems are absorbed accordingly. Playing with the pH within the stable limit can greatly increase food intake and growth.
