I'll be turning 30 this year. Occupation has a lot to do with it I feel. Mathematicians are innately skeptical. Honestly, thats not even what I am anymore but the skepticism still remains
maybe i got and wrong and it wasnt your intention but,
it drives me crazy when people start spouting out there degrees as if that gives them some kind of intellectual high ground
im turning 45 this year so does that make me smarter than you lol
im trying to understand why a mathematician would be innately skeptical

math is math and its all proofed, so whats to be skeptical about?

unless you don't understand the math??

your skeptical about the effects of MJ, I can understand that cuz you didn't have the "proof"
(until @whitebb2727 gave it to you and you chose not to read it)

what is it about your personal math work that's un-proven? that makes you skeptical

btw
when you get into the fertilizers youll find its nothing but math

convert (using math) your % amounts of NPK, Ca and Mg along with all the micro minerals into active elemental PPM

Every question you asked could easily been answered with a simple search of the site.

Its not the questions. Really. I don't mind them. I spend quit a bit of time in the grow sections answering them when I can.

There are studies on some of this stuff. Really it comes down to basic botany. Cannabis is lime any other plant. It doesn't need unicorn farts or anything else special to grow.

I'm also sure its an exciting time for you. I like to learn myself. I love growing. My family grows our own food. I grow flowers and have 30-50 house plants. I've lost count.

That's a bit of advice I give new growers. Keep a few house plants and flowers around growing. It helps develope a green thumb.
As an amateur research scientist, I'd really like to get my hands on some of those unicorn farts and do some testing just to see what the fuss is all about!

Growing cannabis is not hard..we over complicate it.
Light plus canopy = yield.

Top mistakes are.
To much light
To many nutrients.
To much water.

Watch as many videos by the grow boss as u can..love him or hate him he has always got good advice.
Too much light? o_O

Until a few days ago I was watering with my tapwater recently tested at ph 8. Last watering a few days ago was watered down to ph 6.
well id try to get ur soil PH to around 6.5. At least then you know its picking up everything.

I dont need to worry as i know what my water PH is. I just dampen my soil and stick my PH probe in and it reads anywhere between 6.5 and 7, i dont check it again until next grow. Im even in last years outside grows soil.

I cannot really answer all ur PH questions cause i dont worry about it. I set and forget. (Dolomite Lime helps here- as I stated in ur other thread)
One thing a lot of people don't account for when dealing with pH is how it's related to EC. If you're dealing with tapwater, pH is basically irrelevant because there isn't much in the water to carry it. It doesn't take much to buffer nothing.

Only when EC is high does pH really start to matter. Water itself has no pH; it's a measure of the acidity of what's IN the water, therefore the more dissolved solids, the stronger the signal.

basicly that the soil PH should be between 6 and 7 so the plant can pick up the stuff it needs.
Soil ph swings as it dries.
Are you saying feeding soil or runoff? I ask because I've heard "do not adjust ph on soil because it buffers".
Never check run off ph. Its a useless number and will have you chasing your tail. The way to check soil ph is equal parts soil to deionized water and check the slurry.
