Default What is your favorite pH??
permalink
I've read that the pH does really great around 5.2 (optimal) during vegatative and 5.7-5.9 during flowering. Then I read that 5.8 is best because it gets all the nutrient intake. Then I was reading somewhere on here that a low pH around 5.3 was great for flowering.

1. What's the best (your way) pH in your oppinion based off experience (veg and flowering)?

2. If my water is around 80degrees F, is there a way I can optimize pH to work with this better?

HIGHdro pH in the HIGHfives. (5.5-6.0)

Your res is too hot. At that temp, bad stuff will grow, and ruin everything. Lower it to the 60's if possible, and your plants will be healthier.

Yeah, why is there so many different opinions on PH? I have been reading alot of contradictory idea's on where the PH should be...Any experienced hydro growers want to elaborate on this topic?

Yeah, I have not figured out what my plants really like..I am sure it changes through out there life though. 5.8 seems to be the middle ground though..Mogie posted a chart once, I will see if I can find it....

My gro shop said 5.5. In one of Kindprincess's posts, she said "most nutrient formulas buffer to 6.0 +/- a point or two. ideal ph is 5.8, so adjust appropriately."

For reasons that I don't know yet, you can have your PH lower in Hydro then in dirt...I have not done a dirt grow yet so I have not done much research on why that is...But I don't think my plants like 5.5, when I go that low, I get a feeling they want it back up a bit...Just a gut feeling though..
