    King Klone vs. LED

    the white buffalo is very very lanky. you think candyland is lanky wait till you see the white buffalo. i liked candyland for quality but it yielded like crap so i got rid of it. also got rid of their OG i didnt like it. i had a good phantom cookie from seed but the high was sort of bland...

    King Klone vs. LED

    Not Ken anymore they broke their ties. Hence blu. Not sure on bay 11. Will know in a couple months. I put one outside but it flowered immediately so it's small. Looks stacked though like a bigger plant might give yield

    opinion on ideal PH?

    I had problems with my ph using tap there's a lot of buffers in my city water. I used to have to use 250 drops or so of down with dutchmaster in 5 gallons. This is advanced nutrients down which is very strong. Once I switched to ro I didn't have to adjust ph at all. Maybe your down is taking...

    King Klone vs. LED

    Nice. P2p in San Jose is a 3 hour drive for me so I don't take it often cuz it's like 60 bux in gas alone. But that's the only place I buy clones if I want new strains. I've ran all their cuts except the blackjack. I wanted it and when I went they didn't have it. I called the next day and they...

    opinion on ideal PH?

    Seems the rise was just initial after the mix. Still the same ph at day 2 for the maxigrow and maxibloom. Looks best to raise ph to 5.3 and let it drift up to 5.6 to 5.8. Plants look amazing though they love the nutrients. So far.

    opinion on ideal PH?

    Also I've read elsewhere that there could be something leeching (either from a medium or a sealant, somewhere in or on your res) that is acidic and lowers ph. Just another thought

    opinion on ideal PH?

    Probably too strong of a nutrient mix then. Are you using ro or tap? The best way to know is check your ec/ppm.. when you fill it, then when you check ph and its lower.. If the nutrient mix is too strong your ec/ppm will rise as the ph drops.

    opinion on ideal PH?

    I find in my aero cloner that it breeds pathogens. Doesn't provide enough oxygen in the water itself I guess. I have to clean with bleach after every time, and use dm zone at aggressive strength. Keeps it good for 2 weeks. Going into the 3rd week it starts to smell a little

    opinion on ideal PH?

    Try "Heisenberg tea". It works for me. I get slime with everything else (as far as sterile). I'm trying to just add "mycogrow soluble powder" a teaspoon per res when I change nutes. Seeing how it goes. It's powder beneficial bacteria, fungii, and trace amounts of kelp and humic acid. I wanted to...

    opinion on ideal PH?

    I think ph swinging down indicates too high ec. Meaning plants are drinking more water than nutrients they are eating. Leaving a more concentrated dose in your res. Because nutrients are acidic they drop ph. Either that or root pathogens can drop ph as well

    opinion on ideal PH?

    That's why I went maxi. I was going to go lucas but came across that thread. Maxi is powder so it's different than lucas. Basically I've calculated the ec for it. The bag says to put 1tsp per gallon. For maxibloom it comes with a scoop inside the bag. I've calculated 10 scoops in 10gallons comes...

    opinion on ideal PH?

    Time will tell with maxi products. But first dose I like it. Plus a fifteen dollar bag will last me a couple cycles. One part nutrient, nothing wrong with that. I just wish they would've buffered it better

    opinion on ideal PH?

    I do have another plant later in flower that I gave some cultured solutions bud finisher (basically high pk powder). That is made for hydro and it's stabilized. That res I did 3/4 strength maxibloom and full strength cs. And adjusted to 5.8 and its still 5.8. So it seems to stabilizer in that...

    opinion on ideal PH?

    Hoping it'll be the same ph tomorrow which means I just need to put it at 5.3 and watch it drift into 5.8. The plants like the nutrients though. They look extremely happy

    opinion on ideal PH?

    Hoping to be there no more than a month. Yesterday was my first mix with these particular nutes (maxigrow/maxibloom). Prior with dutchmaster nutes I stopped checking cuz I was at that point.

    opinion on ideal PH?

    Yeah that was my concern also as I've read not to use both either. I change res every 7 days so if tomorrow ph is still the same I might just leave it and ride it out and know where to adjust for next week. If it drifts higher I'll try lowering it once, if I have issues I'll just drain and start...

    opinion on ideal PH?

    Working on it. I just want to give it another day to make sure if it's gonna keep drifting or if it was a one time drift while the res got settled. Cuz an overnight basically .5 drift is pretty drastic. That's one reason I bought the ro was to get away from drift like this that I had with tap...

    opinion on ideal PH?

    So far with maxibloom and maxigrow I've noticed they are not buffered in my opinion. With ro the ph drops to about 4.0 when mixed. I had to go buy some AN ph up cuz I've never had to adjust up before. So I took it up 5.8. After near 24 hours it drifted to 6.2. So I think next time I'm going to...

    opinion on ideal PH?

    when i was using dutch master nutrients in DWC for my first round the PH never changed. i didnt have to adjust ph at all. RO + nutrients dialed it right in in veg at 5.9 and in flower at 5.6. and no matter what PPM's did it stayed there. now that im using maxigrow/maxibloom powder we'll see if...

    opinion on ideal PH?

    So i was looking at this chart for hydro and i know most places i read say the ideal PH is around 5.6-5.9 somewhere in that range. it seems to me that (according to the pic) the ideal range would fall more into the 5.0-5.3 range? you can see around 5.5 to 6 range the nitrogen, potassium...
