My soil and run off are coming in between 6.0 to 6.2, I'm running a low budget grow atm as its my 2nd go, my 1st came out nice but very low yield as it was my learn and trail grow, my setup atm is a 4x4x6 with 1 1000w amazon led ( buying a 2nd in couple weeks) hanging about 18-24" above the canopy, I'm using coco with perlite medium in 2 gal plastic pots (transplanting in 5gal fabric pots in about 2 weeks), I'm may wait a day or 2 and see how it looks and hopefully she'll bounce back
@troydolton1989 I definitely understand working within a budget and learning as we grow.
Concentrate on pH and not over/under watering.
More importantly that the light height is the intensity and the heat it’s subjecting the plant to. You can download a free app to ck PPFD. It’s debatable but in veg 250-600 is the range most often cited. Try to balance your leaf temp between 75-85F and your PPFD high enough to give a daily light integral to 30-45 while ensuring you have a change of air per min to provide CO2. This will optimize photosynthesis.
Then maintain humidity to a vapor pressure differential at your room temp to .8-1.2 kPa. This will optimize transpiration. (Look up a vapor pressure differential chart to get the optimal humidity for your temp).
Once those are set, respiration will take care of itself by burning the carbs created in photosynthesis.
The brand of nutrition you provide is less important than the qty. don’t over or under dose based on the pace of photosynthesis and transpiration. We’re pushing these plants. Just don’t push them off the cliff.
