I'm new to the organic scene and am looking for some advice in my latest grow. I've constructed a 3x3x7 cab with a 400hps. I'm planning on growing 2-3 plants (maybe under Scrog).

My nutrient line consists of:
BMO SPT
BMO GIG
BMO FP
BMO FH
Roots Organics HPK
OregonismXL

I'll be growing in B'cuzz HydromixxHP which is 70% spagham peat moss and %30 perlite with dolomite lime added to buffer pH.

My question is should I test my RO water after I add my nutes and if so, what should I aim for?

I also have GH pH up and GH pH down, but I'm not sure if they will hurt my organic.

I currently have 2 lemon skunk and 1 purple haze vegging under a 85watt 6400K and they are looking beautiful. Only given them a water of SPT and a plain RO drink so far. They are 2 weeks old.

6.4 ph level

between 5.5 and 6.5 is ideal.

Yes, check your PH after making your solution, you always want to make sure you're not blasting your plants. Also, your General Hydro PH U&D will not effect your soil. But I wouldnt administer any nutes just yet, wait a week or two.

6.5 is right for soil ...

I hear best pH is lower for Hydro (5.5 is right .. I think ) .. but I'm not a hydro guy

Ph and soil aren't realy a big deal. I know there are studies and what not...but picture a dude with his half acre in NorCal. You think he's Ph'ing a couple thousand gallons. Nope.

If you can drink it you can water a plant with it when in soil.

Plants grow better with good soil pH .. soil pH can be adjusted with Sulphur compounds .. MJ likes 6.5 - 6.8 ... just like tomatoes .... Tomatoes grown in 6.5 soil have a MUCH better flavor than tomatoes grown in soil that is 8 or higher ... sure u still get tomatoes .. but the health robustness flavor in 6.5 soil is BETTER !

Hey there Ms3josh, from my understanding when vegging your optimum range of a soil ph is around 6.0 and when you switch it over to flowering 6.2-6.5 would be better.
You should check out my grow I also too use the BMO line, great organic line for a really good price.

Good Luck with ur grow.
