    Love how clear and to the point this is. Answers 5 hard questions real quick and still goes deeper than most info online.
    Bugbee is the Biggest G in the game, true science at its best ❤

      I agree "those tenths of a PH aren't that critical" definitely got me on that one. Bruce is a gold mind, hopefully we can keep the cash out this for the most part and move the needle of understanding.

    This is interesting stuff. I grow in Ocean Forest soil with Dr Earth's Flower Girl and extra worm castings for top dressing for flower. And I buy bottled spring water because the local water is full of bad heavy metals and chemicals. I don't mess with the pH because I don't need to. It seems like I don't run into issues unless the plants need fertilizer.
    I know it's different with bottled nutes and pH is more important that way. So I do the organic thing. I also use Recharge or Stash Blend to boost the biology and provide sugars and stuff.

    I’m using living soil and haven’t PH since I starting using it. It’s my understanding that the microbes figure it out for you. They mine the nutrients and feed it to the roots in exchange for sugars. I’m no expert but I’m having the best yields and quality I’ve ever had, and I don’t flush either. Watering is key tho. I’ve got a sour chem 78 in mid flower in a 15gal grassroots drinking 3 to 4 ltr a day. She is over 6.5 ft tho and growing through the lights. Proper over vegged, was not expecting that stretch 🤦‍♂️🤣
    Happy growing people 🤙🇬🇧

    Funfacts:
    Scottish tap water no.1
    Already peaty 6.8
    England 7.2
    Scotlands, Taste amazing but surprizingly your liver hates it.
    Englands, taste awful but your liver will love it.
    Sctlands closed circuit heating/boiler will concentrate the acid after 20 years and rot the piping
    Englands would concentrate and clog the system with limescale/lime stone.
    A few points 0.1 either way can make alot of diffence in many ways

    • @monhanchile
      @monhanchile Місяць тому

      I think dr. Bugbee use a mix of peat+vermiculite, then 6.0~6.5 is good in that medium, but for pure coco is better in a range of 5.8~6.2 in My opinion

    Is it the same for growing in Coco Coir being an inert media? 6 to 6.5 being ideal or is it better to be at 5.7 to 6.2. Thank you for all you do.

      @@rkano1744 Thank you, That is good to here because I have been hitting 6.0 very regular, 5.9 just a few times so I am more confident now that I got some confermation. I also switched to Canna Coco Nute line at low dose and am already seeing awesome results! I am being careful because I am out of sink with the Dots. If I were to ever do Dots again I would go with the hempy pots of sort. but I think I like the Cana line for my style

      Never had a problem running 5.8-6.5 in coco. Long as it's within range I put it in the put. Currently average 6 oz per auto in 1 gal pot and 13oz off photos in 1 gal pots.

      Maybe on the moon or Mars. This is studies over plant physiology and this has chemistry backing it alongside physics and science. The EC is a variable but the ph is very relative to all plants that consume nutrients.😅
