I gotta disagree with this. Ph shouldn't be ignored. With soil, it doesn't have to be monitored as hard as hydro. That doesn't mean you don't need to check it. Water you plant with a high phosphorus guano tee without ph'ing; ph would be like 4. Vise versa with a silica supplement. Yea, it might not show negative signs because the soil buffered it, but you just killed 1000s of microbes, causing the ones that are left to work that much hardier. Not healthy for your soil.
Perfection/optimal is different from acceptable.

I already told him it was over watered. That isn't a question. Why can't we have a civil debate on it? Why is everyone so I'm right you are wrong. I said I disagreed with you, didn't say you were wrong.

its because im right....... and theres nothing to debate ..... you want debate bucks your guy ......... ph is the last thing that anybody needs to worry about w little plants in ffof ...... all else fails you put it in a bigger pot...... unless you failed to follow the directions and started in a pot that's way too big then youre just fukd for a couple weeks......

Well like I said before I disagree. Prove me wrong with some science an we can continue this conversation, other than that I just don't see it going anywhere with your attitude.

I mean...grow your hydro and shut up about ph in soil......big waste of time....... all that does is confuse the new guys and cause them to dump more water in when water was the problem to start w........ if the ph in that pot is messed up its because its soaked it will be fine when it dries up.....

no that was with a 400 watt hps and using a net to scrog the plant or lst... i forget the correct name for it... but i used a net none the less, I have two tents for this go around... im only using the old 400 watt system right now tho... i can't wait to see what the 600 watter will haul in

well thats what i thought too, that it was over watered...but i haven't watered it in days now and it was bone dry in the center... so i watered it... hopefully it isn't over watered b/c if so... damn...lol but atleast its only the runt of the two... deff still need to get my shit dialed it... still relearning as a go
between the poor temps and the transplant im not exactly sure what the problem is, tho if its worse tommorow its prob safe to say its over watering... which if it is how long should i let the plant be dry before watering? to be honest i haven't had a soil grow since before i started my dwc so im ever more rusty in that regard... should i only be watering weekly, based off how young the plants are? i was just going by just when they felt dry in the middle

youre in too big of pot..... you probably started in it...

nah they were started in solo cups... i just transplanted it... the other one was starting to get root bound so by no means is that the case
and solo cups are 4" alone so i probably could have even gotten away with starting them in the 8"ers but i figured i'd play it on the safe side... considering its been awhile. its more like 7.5" pot anyways... i probably could/should have left this one in the solo cus its roots weren't as developed but i wanted to get it over with...
. i didn't expect that and since i already had it out of the cup... i figured why stress it out by waiting a few days to transplant it anyways

That's awesome man, that's a great yield with a 400! How long do you train before flipping to 12/12?no that was with a 400 watt hps and using a net to scrog the plant or lst... i forget the correct name for it... but i used a net none the less, I have two tents for this go around... im only using the old 400 watt system right now tho... i can't wait to see what the 600 watter will haul in

Picking up a pot and feeling it weight is a good way to judge if it needs water

until the the 3x3 grid is pretty much filled with colas then i flip to 12/12... such a great and efficient way to grow
if you want a step by step guide use uncle. foreskin's guide... altough that might not be on rollitup but on grasscity
