Hey guys...... Any advice on using pH up and down finding it so hard to get the right pH after adding nutrients. As a first timer worried about burning. Any advice on general watering times would dalso be geart thanks. Is 30 Celsius an OK temp in my tent with around 50/60 humidity

Thanks as always in advance
 
Yea if your water that your using is good enough for you then it will be fine if ya have good water,I'm in UK.I cant remember last time I did ph its ec or ppms you need to do right
 
Just add your nutrients, check pH, adjust up or down. You can adjust gradually adding a little at a time until you get to your desired pH. It doesn't have to be exact. For instance, if you go slightly lower or higher it's best just to leave it rather than trying to adjust back the other way.

Tells you the amount of nutrients in your tank get a bluelsb truchen ,or pen and it's easy UK water is the ,the Yorkshire stuffs great.You no need to bother with good water like ours ,ppm and ec is different, to do with dissolved salts electric conductivity. But it's really a way to get readings of your nute strength. It's not hard get one.whats your set up

What medium are you growing in?
 
In case anyone reads this down the line....


Personally I like to make 100ml solutions of pH up and pH down.

In a 100ml bottle I add 10ml of the pH adjustment and then top it off with water.

By doing this with both UP and DOWN pH solutions it allows you greater control for adjusting your pH.

Obviously use 2 bottles and label them accordingly. One for UP and one for DOWN.

this way it’s a lot harder to over shoot the ph you’re trying to achieve.

Personally I’m a coco grower and I check both pH and EC for my nutrients.

pH around 5.5-6.2
EC dependant on plants!
