First one looking again looks like wonky genetics. Try adding a root stimulant instead of just water. Really helps improve the vegging phase.
Mine can drink a couple of gallons a day.
18ft?! Lol
You still have to balance tap water ph, correct?
Meh. The soil should have microbes working to keep your Ph in check. As long as you're not below, 4 or above 8 to start with, your microbes should handle it. Mother Nature doesn't Ph her water and when growing in soil, that's the part you're playing. If you're giving them distilled or R.O. water all your doing is stripping out nutrients. Just use tap.
You shouldn't use distilled water I would think
Thanks, tap is around 7.3 most times. Speaking with Fox Farms last year they said that the crushed oyster shells in the mix keep the soil at the correct ph. They walked me through a soil test. They said that testing the water coming out of the bottom of the grow bag is not an accurate check due to the crushed shells. Their way to test was to make two separate slurries with different amounts of water and Happy Frog, checking the ph in each and that would give a more accurate reading of the soil ph. Cannot find my e-mail from them so I don't remember the last step but they were tremendously helpful, as are the people on this forum!! I didn't think to ask about the need to balance the water tho. Now, that I will be watering more often I'll stop getting the distilled.
Megapixels aren't the solve all for a good camera. its all about Aperture / F-Stop, Iso Sensitivity, etc. Not only that, you need a skilled photog to dial in those settings. Composing the shots etc. Just cause someone's phone has a trillion MPs doesn't make it a good camera. Just means its going to clog up your storage with 18mb blurry photos of your cats.
Try to take this with a phone and then blow it up to 24 x 36, frame it and hang it on your wall.
I use RO water and always put Roots Organics Bio-Force Mycorrhizae in my water everytime i water. I never do check water PH. and never do check soil PH. The microbes will adjust the PH in the soil for you. Just so long you dont dry out the soil all the way and keep it moist so the microbes can keep working for you. They go dormant when the soil dries out. I only top dress and water with only 10% max of the soil volume once a week. This one is in a 15 gallon and gets 3/4 - 1 gallon of water once a week. making sure theres no run-off. If you’re using RO water it will strip nutrients and micronutrients away if you water to a run-off.Thanks, tap is around 7.3 most times.

That photo is gorgeous.Try to take this with a phone and then blow it up to 24 x 36, frame it and hang it on your wall.
