Looking for some insight on the ph level for my water. This will help me find out a little more on how the ph level will affect my plants.

Also looking for a netrition chart to follow. I have read a few different charts from previous growers. Looking for something on the cheaper side. due to I am afraid my first grow might fail indoor.


If you want any information about my setup. Feel free to ask me=D

You'll need to tell us more about the setup. I recommend you get a good nute product and follow their feeding schedule. I have recently switched to Humboldt Master A&B and am amazed at the result. Some nutes are more picky about pH than others. This stuff does fine anywhere from 5.5 to 7. The grow I just harvested ran 6.5 the whole way and never a leaf spot or curl. Nutes and seeds are two investments you don't want to skimp on.

Sorry, Was really high typing out the short question. What I was asking...Is Can I grow my vegetative plants in and EBB&Flow system. Still going to buy a drip irrigation system. Just short on the cash right now after spending the money to get the 3/4 of the system. If you could remake the "How I grow green" video(located in the sticky thread) in a closet.But I am only working on my vegetative side right now.

Honestly if my ph is atleast 5.2 - 6.0 I will be happy for it being my first successful indoor. Decide to go ahead a buy my irrigation system for the pump setup. Used a drill to make 1/4 hole on about foot of 3/8" ID / 5/8" OD hose I am using for drainage and the pump. But do I want it to be a constant flow to my plants or an actual "Drip" from the feeding lines.

Your plants will thrive, the closer to 6.0 you keep it. If it is a bit low to start out, it's fine as your PH will climb more often than it drops.

And if you can get the Ebb&Flow to work well, I'd keep that over a top-feed. IMO!
