Ph

i have read loadz of charts and seen a few that are different. so here is my question to you all.

what ph would you recomend for veg and what would you recomend for flowering.???

my ph sits at 5.6 in veg and sits at 5.8 in flower..
im using advanced nutrients sensi grow/bloom 2 parter with all the add ons..
is it diff with every type of nute or is it just the same for all.???

thanx

There's no different PH for veg and flowering ( I think ), but you defenitely want to get that ph up, optimal is 6.5

Ph the whole solution when mixed, whatever you use. I think, if you are in hydro, that you may be driven insane trying to maintain such precise readings. You can end up with more ph up and ph down in the res than nutrients! Personally I am happy if it's around 5.8 - 6.1 - others have different approaches. Hope this helps

6-6.5 in soil is best,abit lower in hydro...

6.5 is optimal for soil...throuhout the whole growth...and for hydro about 5.5-5.9 is best.

im growing using hydro which seems easier than soil....
my ph is usually around 5.6-5.8 but i let it wander slightly to say 6.1-6.3

sumtimes i leave it to go up n down itself but on the odd occasion i reduce it to 5.5 n let it fluctuate slightly.

im just tryin to get an idea of what other ppl set there ph at so if i wander slightly i know im ok..
hydro soundz difficult but in practice its easier than soil coz when theres a problem you can use the truncheon and if your paying attention then you will know if your feeding too much or not enough..

my nutes say i shud keep my ph around 5.6 but as you know sumtimes this is awkward to achieve. i add an air pump to my tanks and ive found that the nxt day my ph is 6.2 after re-setting it the day b4. this is whats akward but if i want good results i need to keep on top of it.
if any1 has any info on ph levels during veg and flowering then please post a message coz ide like to hear what you think.

thanx

you all shud have a look at my journal n tell me what you all think.

thanx cyclone.

any info is good info coz as you know we are all trying to do the same thing and in my eyes any help is well appreciated.

there is a lot of ppl out there that dont have a clue and just say anything to keep you happy.
will let you know how i get on but u shud have a look at my journal ( white widow and bigbud afghani hydro grow).... let me know wot you think.

Cheers mate. I would add, that ph levels in hydro fluctuate as the plants consume the nutrients somewhat unevenly. I am currently using an AquaValve Autopot self watering system which to my mind gives the best of both worlds. The plants are in soil, with a very generous layer of clay pebbles and are fed from the bottom in a controlled manner using a 37 litre aerated res this means you only ph once when filling res with feed correct for the current growing stage. I intend to use this system all the time, and have relegated my Hydro set-up to growing Chili plants.
Thats a nice looking plant you have there, you've obviously got it right.
