Which helped me get my healthiest plants ever?

Hi there,

I have been growing for several years and this May decided to change a few things after failing to get the seeds germinating. The result is a batch of the healthiest plats I have ever had, flowering wonderfully after 3 weeks with bus all over the place.

Here are the three regime changes:

1. I didn't use the wet paper towels or seeds in a glass of water germination technique. I used a damp lump of rock wool and got 100% of the seeds sprouting.

2. I bought a PH meter and adjusted every drop of water used on the plants. (Tap water is 7.2-7.3)

3. I put an oscillating fan across the plants to supplement the small air changing fan I used previously.

My girlfriend saw the plants after only 3 weeks and asked me why they were doing so much better and I wondered if, out of those three, there was a single thing which has done this. Has anyone adopted just ONE of the above as a regime change and noticed a marked difference?

I have to say that I do follow some of the advice on here, though a lot appears to be agenda driven and so often contradictory. The best advice I found was given by one of the seed banks.

Anyone had similar experience?

I would assume all 3 played a role but the pH would probably be your winner. Fan seems to really thicken up the stems and allow for quicker development, but they can't get access to all those nutes without proper pH so that's probably your biggest benefactor.
