what's this

It’s basically 40-0-0 ammonium nitrate (straight nitrogen), and a small packet of aluminum powder. You open the packet, and mix well.. set it at 50 yards, and hit it. It will turn a 5 gallon bucket inside out, and make a 8 inches deep hole in the ground.

I know man. What was the original topic anyways because I've forgotten now, lol.

Just kidding OP, but you're in good hands getting advice here despite some of our bullshit.
Wow this one is some useful info, guess ima get on the soil ph pen train, never put much thought into it but im going to now, si i gather that were shooting for a consistent soil ph of around 6.5 ?

I think you said you have no PH up... but like I said, you can dilute some baking soda for PH up... if you haven't tossed the plant yet, mix up a solution to 12 ph with your pen (if you have a back up) and flush the shit out of that plant. What do you got to loose at this point?

Back to the subject at hand @groweraua .. This is an example of “the window”, or “Goldilocks Zone” as @Renfro refers to it.
Here, we have a plant ready to eat. She’s dry, tired, and hungry. As you can see, she has fallen out of “the window”, and can’t take up nutes (she’s already eaten them all)

Now we are going to feed in at 8.65

This is just a few minutes after feeding her. As you can see, the soil buffered at 6.86. 90AA4E73-C859-48E7-9C05-5FC48435F295.jpeg
She is now in “the window” to take up nutes very efficiently. As this soil dries out, the PH will start dropping back to the high 5’s, but that’s ok!, I gave her the opportunity to eat when she was most able to do so. Look at my notes... you will see that I have to adjust every time I feed to stay in the window. AND they look happy!
