Say what?

There's these little things called punctuation, they come in handy when using the English language.

I don't mean to be a dick, but I don't understand what you're asking? I don't think anyone else does either, thus the zero responses.

Plain and simple he broke his PH pen, he wants to know if 6.2 will work.

My answer is, that in rockwool you will be a lot better off going down to 5.8.

With the test strips just get it to 6 and add a little more.

The best cheap PH test isnt test strips though its the liquid drops.

Still only $5.00

Or try 2 borrow a meter, get ur water recipie all good, and grow! Just use the same recepie all the time. I recomend ph 5.2 in rockwool but i´m gonna get lots of crap 4 that so just do whatever someone else recomends!

Happy growing.

Whats your theory for 5.2??? I could see 5.6 but never that acidic....

Well i would if i could trust me, my English just is not good enough.
But in short: i met some really good underground growers in both Amsterdam, LA and San francisco, they claimed that CB thrives in ph 5.2 and actually have the perfect neutrient up take (u understand me at all?) just b4 lookout witch happens at 5.01 or so right?
I also read a good article on the subject, in my native language.

Anyway i got a coco-grow running on 5.2 let´s see how that works out for me(only in week 2 atm) but i´ll mos def keep u posted.

Happy growing

I'll look into it....

Cheers.
