I find the whole ph thing strange. If you bring a gallon of water to a boil then let it cool and bottle it you should have perfectly clean fresh water void of chlorine and flouride.

The only reason I could see to really mess with ph is if you have bad pipes or water. I use a 12oz squeeze bottle for my watering and i put a thimble of urine and a pinch of coffee grounds in it then top it off with water. Plants seem to love it.

Isnt this just a little bit much for a humble soil grower?

what about eye of newt and toads tongue. urine and coffee, never heard of such a thing

Never raised roses I see . They are quite similar plants.

Urine is high in nitrogen and coffee grounds are really high in plant nutrients as well.

well.... i used to piss around my outdoor plants...so no deer would come near them....but pissing on them...thats crazy.
oh and the water thing, you can just go buy a gallon of distilled water..it has a neutral PH...just like boiled water...almost

OMG just buy fertilizer that high in N. And coffee grounds? leave those out for sure. And yes PH is freaking huge...if you dont moniter it somehow then you are gonna eventally get a nute lockout most likely. You need a PH around 6.8 for MJ in soil. Do you know the PH of your soil? Your runoff? Your water? You need to know all off the above...

You've been following my stealth like a ninja post ohio. My sprout looks really healthy and is very strong. All pre-boiled water urine and coffee.

i water mine right out of the faucet. checked my ph for the first time ever the other day. it was fine. i'll never check it again.

Correction. You THINK I need to know this. Im sure a lot of the precautions taken in growing marijuana only open more opportunities to make a critical fumble. I have done nothing to check or maintain my PH and I will now continue to do so to prove my point. Remember its soil not hydroponics.

Here. You tell my plant that im not peeing on her anymore and see how mad she gets :P

coffee grounds are very good for gardening. When i worked at starbucks we would bag the used coffee grounds (a few pounds per bag) and people would come pick them up to throw into there gardens. I also think knowing your Ph is good but not necessary for little hobby growers like me. I wouldnt mind testing my ph eventually tho...its always good to know ^_^

Agreed If the plant started to grow under the conditions i am currently growing under then it would be safe to assume that continuation of said growing habits would keep the plant growing as it has been. Which btw i dont know what my ph is but aparantly they like it ... must be the pee
