You could use a higher base ph medium? Peat depending on manufacturer sometimes will have a high ph. That way you wont be using as much ph up, and instead be using a little bit of ph down. Start mixing in lime(lemon) juice to supplement ph up, problem is when changing ph using baking soda, lemon juice, vinegar its only temporary and If you have a reservoir in dwc that doesnt stir it around every hour it seperates again, soil.. I'm not sure havn't tried or heard anything about the home ph solutions.

I've only had one experience reverting, in which I took a cutting from a flowering Jilly Bean plant. The cutting rooted in the time you would expect a cutting to root and after that it did not do anything for a couple of months and finally it started spitting out veg growth. How long the plant takes to reveg depends on how far along into flowering the plant is.

Any specific reason you're PHing your water to 6.5 instead of 6.3? If you kept it at 6.3 it would not only be optimal ( I don't really buy into this too much in soil, as your soil should buffer the PH as long as it's not wayyy out of whack) but save you a tiny bit of your PH up.

I have messed around with different ph and noticed 6.5 is best for my growing medium and plant!

Are you saying mix my nutes then leave it at 5.3 PH and let the soil buffer her out?

I use Jacks Houseplant Special. My tap is usually 8 or above. When I feed, I PH the plain water to the mid 6 range then add my Cal-Mag and plant food. I don't concern myself with the PH of the nute solution. Never have and never had a problem this way. Is it correct? Maybe, maybe not, but I've never had a problem. Honestly I don't even know what the PH of the solution is after adding Cal-Mag and nutes. I've never bothered to check.

I have seen someone do exactly what you are saying and I thought they were doing things backwards and wrong but I maybe wrong.@ I guess everyone does it different. But I thought of your idea as well and never tried it

6.3 not 5.3, but if 6.5 is what you believe is working best then I wouldn't change it at the cost of a little bit of PH up. I've actually never grown in soil, I use coco so my optimal PH is 5.8. However 5.4-6.2 is acceptable and in soil the range is much wider because the PH buffering capacity of soil is much greater than coco's.
I believe that PH is not as important (when growing in soil) as people make it out to be, but peace of mind goes a long way.

If you are curious of what your plant is actually sitting in you should test the runoff. When in soil most blends have some sort of ph amendment but a 1/4 cup or so of gardening lime (dolomite lime) per gallon of soil will do the trick for the entire grow. Even now just sprinkle it on the topsoil and water it in, then it will be fine for the duration.

:leaf::leaf:Day 15 in flower- Day 84 from seed:leaf::leaf:

For the First time I Had to flush her out yesterday! I mixed up some nutes the other day and might have added too much of something because she was leaf curling, MG deficient. So after flush she came right back, leaves dropped back down to original state and I'm happier she is better. I learned so much from my first grow that I more a less know whats going on with the plant and when I should flush her out. So someone gave me this advice: water, water, Nutrients. I have been feeding my plant 2 times a week: water, nutrients. I have started to notice soil is drying up much quicker due to the plant drinking a lot of water. So, I have decided to feed her 3 times a week which I would be performing the Water, Water, Nutirents, just to stable her out some more. Right now she looks great and can't wait until harvest day!

Nice use of bold type there bruh lol sorry, keeping up with so many threads gets confusing. That's my excuse lol
Black Widow looks great man! But your other crop looks awesome!
I've been thinking on the subject of re-vegging - question; Do you think it would be quicker to clone a flowering plant, or to re-veg an already flowered plant?
Personally, I think it may be quicker to simply plant a new seed but I guess that is dependant on circumstance...

Well for me there is no rush. My grow closet can only hold one plant. So I placed her into reveg because I didnt know what to do with her. I have too wait until my white widow is done harvest , by that time the reveg black widow should be really ready to go into flowering. Black widow plant is only 11 days into flower before I decided to reveg her. I already see her going back to normal. It is faster to clone a flowering plant but that is not my case, my flowering period was too short so it was better to flip back. Also I can plant a new seed but why do that, waste of seed. I reveg black widow until harvest of white widow. Then after harvest of white widow, flower reveg Black widow, During that whole time 2 clones I took from the black widow should be ready by the time the black widow harvest.......wow DIZZY NOW
