Commercial grower in Asheville NC here, run a old school " Dutch table method " ( Continual harvest ). Largest resin crystals I ever saw were on some plants ( That started as cuttings ) that were only in veg for about 4 weeks. Like large grains of sand. Never in 14 years of growing have I encountered that ( Copious resin production in veg ) They were under regular T5 florescent bulbs, in soil, but being watered with water from a very deep well near the foot of a huge hill. My friend and I never got the water tested, but we had suspected the resin production was a result of it
This year I did a test 2 . Was in soil , dry amending, fabric pots . I started outside. 2 month outside . The plants where perfect . For flower I took them inside. When I took them in . (1000ppfd light ) and started to flower them . I was now ph water to 6.2 . (Wath I never did outside) after 2 weeks the plant started yellowing from the top . ( before flower I amended so food must be good ) now I’m giving extra cal mag and neuts to battel it and is gone . But I still ask myself wath is I did not ph the water and I think the plans was gonna be perfect the howl time . And maybe the ph off the water is the prob … ( I did check water ph I was giving the first 2 months it was 7.8 … I know it’s high but damp the plants was perfect and was the easiest ever en better than ever . Should is just do a howl run no ph’ing water ? 😅
I have temporarily stopped growing (wife wants the space) so I started a smaller space hobby 🍄. It's amazing how the first hobby helped on the second hobby 👍. Plants aren't close related but they live in same environment and many have the symbiosis like you described. Keep giving insight. Thank you for the videos and being so exhuaberant.😊👍✌️

Really no shit. U can drop the ph with an air stone in the water? 🤷 I never knew this. I got well water in the low 7s so i use the zero water filter. It seems to work but if i could get it down alil more i would jump for joy. Water is everything.😊 thank u for the comment
Try going slow and using a gentle twisting motion, to ease in and find space between major roots. A plant can handle a few torn micro roots as animals often burrow in dense vegetation areas.
Seedlings take about a month to become sexually mature before they can start to transition to flower if under a flowering light schedule. Clones typically come from sexually mature plants. Flower time after they're sexually mature depends on the genetics.
@@santafemikez9694 There is no difference in flowering time between a sexually mature seedling or a clone taken from it. Seedlings take about a month (even on 12-12 schedule) to become sexually mature to even begin the transition to flower. I mentioned nothing about flowering length.
Depends on water source. I live in the mountains and have my own well system. Never used a ph meter, couldn’t tell you how and I’ve never had any issues. Growing for over 10 years.
@@gregc.9313 I have well water and it's 500 ppm even when bypassing the water softener. Depends on the minerals in your area, mine are too high and I"d rather just RO to zero and start with a clean slate. PH was pretty consistent until we started getting a ton of rain but it's still within acceptable range and soil adjusts it as well. I'm in the habit of checking for piece of mind in case of changes in the ground water due to precip.
It seems to me from what you said about the relationship between the root morphology and adaptations of the plant and the microbes that whacking the PH in mid stream is not just unnecessary and expensive, but may be a bad idea. It introduces a sudden balance shift outside the established relationship and comfort zone. Not only that but external PH adjustments tend to be transient. Soil likes to return to it's original PH. If you start with an untampered soil in the correct range you should be golden. If your soil is too far in one direction, blending with soil in the other direction before using should produce a new stable PH level.
Once a week or Twice, having a 1oz to 2 oz, i found it pretty good deal. I don't have the stress of trimming 6 plants at once. Plus is like my trimming time.
We had a dry summer last year and have been getting drenched so far this spring. I have to RO my well water in order to use it for growing. I fill up twenty gallons of jugs so I only have to setup the RO once or twice a month. Recent rains changed my ph and I’d have missed it if I didn’t check. I’d rather stay on top of the PH just for piece of mind if nothing else. Hell, I’m retired and have all day every day to tend the garden so it keeps me busy. My wife is into esoteric stones and their properties and I think it’s a bunch of BS. She gives me stones that are supposed to help my plants. I put one in each pot and they stay there for the entire grow. Who am I to question her? I just do what she says and don’t change a thing. 😂😂😂
If you have water like RO water, there is no mineral solids to maintain a pH. The water will immediately absorb minerals in its environment and stabilize to its surrounding pH. If you have a harder water with calcium and magnesium, your water will need to have the pH adjusted. With a high ppm of solids, your environment will balance to the pH of the water. This usually causes your water to be very base and raising your soil pH to 8.0 or even higher. If you grow with fertilizer salts, correcting your pH is a little more important and definitely necessary in soiless grows. In soil, good fertilizer companies have already solved it for you. If you have to hit that 5.5-6.0 range, that requires a bit of acid.
That's what I do, RO my well water because it's 500 ppm even bypassing the softener and I don't know what the 500 ppm consists of which can cause imbalances. I RO it and strip it down to nothing so I know what I'm working with. Soil adjusts the PH but I still monitor that and the PPM of runoff to time what usually ends up being one feeding about half way through flower after soil amendments are used up. It's a pretty simple little indoor garden once a person finds a system that works for them.
I use a milwaukee PH meter and I check and calibrate it every couple of months and I have never had my meter out of calibration. My measurement of my PPM have been the same after calibration as it was before calibration every time. I do have and use the chemical kit and will use it to confirm my meter readings from time to time. the Milwaukee meter comes with a cap that I fill 1/3rd full with storage solution to keep my tip soaking. Get a quality meter and routinely calibrate it. It is not hard
Big same here, buddy. First time growing organic here, and was told the same old hype as everyone else about not pH'ing the water (I'm using store bought jugs of spring water so I bought in to it to an extent). Everything was fine until I started to implement B.A.S. Agsil 16H for silica, and didn't realize it had shot my water pH to over 9.5 at half the recommended dose. Plants got mad for sure.
@@FuriousGeorge_67 damn! Yeah if it’s not within the recommended range then the plants can’t uptake it and throws things out of wack.Glad you got it together though.
I have 2 exhale bags in my 4x4 tent and I love them they work great and my tent isn’t sealed. I have an exhaust fan and an inlet fan but with two exhale bags in my 4 x 4 tent it keeps my CO2 PPM around 1200.ppm
Hey bro just started my second grow with blue dot going great and recharge in the last of first grow very happy with your advice and real grow THANKS a lot
Love the show fellas ! Running my first auto's this year . Im looking forward to the challenge . I've always done photo's . Keep kicking knowledge . Thanks fellas . God bless , and peace !
I'm so glad I went organic I now have to clean the dust off of my ph pin cuz I hardly ever use it these days and I have been using recharge for about 3 years now and im sold on it
P.H, and it’s never ending adjustments are very important to me.. I have the best P.H pen on the market, and calibrate it once a week religiously. And always have good results
I'm a new grower trying to find a serious channel for growers. This feels like a middle-aged, wish I was still in college show. Not all stoners are goofy dopes. Any suggestions for adults wanting to grow?
I've used soda stream bottles before but all I did was squirt some CO2 in through one of the inlet hole in my tent, no regulator and not sure if it did much but the bottles are available at my local Supermarket for about $20 change over
How long can you veg a clone before you have to transpalsnt them? They will continue to grow even with low light. Can't keep them in veg for more than a few weeks ... where do you put them all, Scotty, please tell us. Too many plants going at once * Limited room here
How come back in the early 80's and 90's we grew huge beautiful plants using 20-20-20 and 10-60-10 and not knowing anything about pH. What's up with that ?
Start one or two more 3 or 4 weeks before harvest. You can keep autos in the open under light. Mine grew in the dining room with other leafy greens growing.
Hyperoxygenated deep water culture with a protein based nute line like cyco is the best growing method hands down. You can actually control the pH in the rhyzosphere. Soil is far inferior. Always available oxygen (yes, plants still need oxygen), always available nutrients, always available water. I yielded 12 pounds in 10’x12’ room with a 21 day veg… 2 lbs per light. My garden was also CO2 supplemented. Good lighting is the best investment. It’s crazy the difference in quality of a $30 bulb compared to a $200 bulb.
I have the chance here in quebec canada to buy very nice water, i recently find out that the water i use for my plant have about 7.4 of ph… and i never have problems with it
I recently had an issue with what looked like all kinds of nutrient deficiency/over nutrient with a balanced nutrient solution 1250 ppm; Also using mykos30 and bat guano tea. Finally tested my run-off water. I was down to 4.7. Now trying to flush with 6.9 rain water over the last day or so. I hope I can correct it. I don't really care what the naysayers contribute.

I've been using spring water from the Dollar Tree for my plants because the local water report is bad. We have a bunch of crap from the military bases and shipping industry and other sources. It seems like the pH of the bottled water is close enough for the plants in Ocean Forest soil. I haven't had issues with lockout or deficiencies other than an Apple Fritters plant that wanted more food. A handful of worm castings and some Dr Earth's Flower Girl fixed it. I do alternate between Recharge and Stash Blend or use a little of both together about once a week too. But I haven't bothered checking pH much. Before I fed the Apple Fritters plant Ivdid check my soil pH to make sure it wasn't the problem. I haf the same experience when I had a rain barrel and used the rain for my indoor plants.
1000ppm of CO2 in my 5x5 with 720w of led with 1000ppfd at canopy. Looking like it's gonna be a Fat Yeild of some 🔥 genetics. Appreciate all your tips and tricks to get me there!
Did you all notice that mycelium networks and the structure of the universe are both similar to how neuronal networks are structured - The universe is one giant collection of interconnected and overlapping neural networks.
the more I did away from the basics, the more I struggled somewhere in during the RUN. I check it because it is something to do to keep you from guessing where to start. Stick to basic stuff.
Advanced nutrients sensi products have the ph perfect tech. I actually don't own a ph pen and get nice big buds so it works. Those that say it doesn't work. Those folks aren't using filtered water or ro and or distilled water. It does make a difference. U need to start with a plain base it's what they want. Soil and coco I've tried with more of a pain in the ass with coco. Soil is set and forget
Drops are great. All that used to be used before. I doubke check with drops that my digital is in check. Can help when your Pen might be on the way out. If I had to choose id go with drops over digital. Stock up on thos IMO
co2 is always there no need to have any extra if you have people or pets in the house we tested here after my workout with my daughter it was over 3500 in the room so how long it stayed at that i dont know but that must help the plants also
I live in Chicago where the water is 7.8 normally and I have grown pretty good buds without using any down. Having said that… I have done 6.5 and 6.0 and 5.8 and literally have seen zero difference between 7.8 through 5.8! Now.. if you live somewhere else and you have hard water or some weird issues with your water, you might have a problem. 🤷🏻♂️
Ph is mostly important with hydroponic growth, soil they like it very slightly alkaline so they can grab the Ca and Mg, The roots pump acids into the soil that grab the ions they need. Digital PH meters only are for lab use, they dont resond to organic acids correctly. Stuff going acid is a common issue with hydroponics, keep it aereated to purge the CO2 build up and give it some CaNo3 MgCl2, and KNO3 as needed Apply phosphorus as Ammonium phosphate at the plants as a slow dilute drip. Dont forget the trace minerals, best added by a gravel bed that contains the minerals you need. Want to do it all at once and cheap? Try aquaponics. Fish pond, dolomite filter then pump over the roots. Thats it. Microbes do all the work for you for everything short of the pumping itself and the right ones colonize the right places ❤
1300 ppm co2 in a 5x5 with the inline fan on 2 my tank will last me 11-14 days. I have to have that fan on or it will get above 95 degrees on me. With fan on its 87-95 which is a good range with rh at or under 60% I only use co2 last week of veg to week 6 flower
Hi Scotty. Man I think I lived in Hollywood Florida same time you were down there. I was there from 78 I was 9. To 95. Anyway here’s my question. This was an auto flower that was called dream queen. After 3 months I realized 5 were not flowering. So I let them ride on 20 an 4. They grew to 5 feet an started flowering man it took these plants 6 months to finish an I still think they could have gone longer mostly cloudy no amber yet. But the buds were so very heavy one of them split right in half. Seriously have YOU OR DOOD ever seen this or heard of it. Almost 7 months an I gota say brother the potency of the medicine is a long lasting not overboard at all but very productive head hi. Do u think these were just weird or something all 5 were almost exact. But good gracious man I threw out several after 3 month’s thinking something was wrong but man now I wished I’d just let the others finish. Never changed light cycle. Lov the show it truly givs me a lift to my day every day I listen. Thanks maybe we went to school together. I was at west Kendall for a while in elementary.
Lmao I thought I was being weird only using the drops them meters are such a waste of money but ur exactly ryt put like some recharge in a it don’t work so then POOL strips !!! I’m glad this subject came up I feel a whole lot better now lol
lol ph is no scam but people get too obsessed with it . I run hydro and I take it down to 5.5 and let it drift up to 6.2 before I adjust it again. Blue lab ph pen is best and keep it calibrated monthly . It’s easy. If I could afford it I’d run the blue lab ph auto doser.
I am in Minnesota and we are allowed to gift free stuff to friends and relatives. They allow four plants in veg and four in flower.

I haven't had issues with lockout or deficiencies other than an Apple Fritters plant that wanted more food. A handful of worm castings and some Dr Earth's Flower Girl fixed it. I do alternate between Recharge and Stash Blend or use a little of both together about once a week too. But I haven't bothered checking pH much. Before I fed the Apple Fritters plant Ivdid check my soil pH to make sure it wasn't the problem.
I haf the same experience when I had a rain barrel and used the rain for my indoor plants.
1000ppm of CO2 in my 5x5 with 720w of led with 1000ppfd at canopy. Looking like it's gonna be a Fat Yeild of some 🔥 genetics. Appreciate all your tips and tricks to get me there!
Nice setup, lots of heat to manage, tho! Happy ladies for sure.
Recharge is the SHIT!!! LOVE ME SOME GROW DOTS ALSO.
Did he say Turd- gent push of the prob, Lol where the hell did that word come from Dude?? Lol hilarious
This show has made me the best none grower in the world lol, love the show as always guy's.
A vaguely useable tool when everything else is in tune.👍
Most tap water is between 7 and 8 but it seems to rise as you leave it outside.
If you want to be a scientist , by all mean's CHASE IT ! 🤣
Remember always check the ph AFTER you add your fertilizer or additives. Rather than adjusting the water before you add the nuets
Did you all notice that mycelium networks and the structure of the universe are both similar to how neuronal networks are structured - The universe is one giant collection of interconnected and overlapping neural networks.
Dang, in CA it’s $65 for 20lb co2 tank refill
the more I did away from the basics, the more I struggled somewhere in during the RUN. I check it because it is something to do to keep you from guessing where to start. Stick to basic stuff.
We have a reciprocal, symbioticl relationship with microbial life. All living things do.
Advanced nutrients sensi products have the ph perfect tech. I actually don't own a ph pen and get nice big buds so it works. Those that say it doesn't work. Those folks aren't using filtered water or ro and or distilled water. It does make a difference. U need to start with a plain base it's what they want. Soil and coco I've tried with more of a pain in the ass with coco. Soil is set and forget
Love the show, from Wisconsin 👍
Drops are great. All that used to be used before. I doubke check with drops that my digital is in check. Can help when your Pen might be on the way out.
If I had to choose id go with drops over digital. Stock up on thos IMO
That yellow ph meter is junk . U can’t trust that one
5.2 to 6.7 good range if you buffer permanent through whole grow.
I use test strips and never have pH problems
My tap water’s pH is around 8.5. Rain water is neutral and free
Usually on the acidic side under 7 from my testing East Coast
Can you use grow dots after your plant is a month old
What is shelf life of Recharge
If you keep it dry, dark and not to hot it will be good for years.
Like 2 to 3 years it says i think on the packages
If you don’t believe in ph try a run without it and see what happens I’ve always had horrible outcomes when I don’t
Excellent educational program duders
co2 is always there no need to have any extra if you have people or pets in the house we tested here after my workout with my daughter it was over 3500 in the room so how long it stayed at that i dont know but that must help the plants also
I just use tornasol paper and i have it correct 10 of 10 times
Hey can anyone please tell me if light burn will make brown spots on leaves?
I used drops to test pH one time my pH metre was playing up and I've never looked back since
This ph issue still baffles me
I live in Chicago where the water is 7.8 normally and I have grown pretty good buds without using any down. Having said that… I have done 6.5 and 6.0 and 5.8 and literally have seen zero difference between 7.8 through 5.8! Now.. if you live somewhere else and you have hard water or some weird issues with your water, you might have a problem. 🤷🏻♂️
Ph is mostly important with hydroponic growth, soil they like it very slightly alkaline so they can grab the Ca and Mg, The roots pump acids into the soil that grab the ions they need. Digital PH meters only are for lab use, they dont resond to organic acids correctly. Stuff going acid is a common issue with hydroponics, keep it aereated to purge the CO2 build up and give it some CaNo3 MgCl2, and KNO3 as needed Apply phosphorus as Ammonium phosphate at the plants as a slow dilute drip. Dont forget the trace minerals, best added by a gravel bed that contains the minerals you need. Want to do it all at once and cheap? Try aquaponics. Fish pond, dolomite filter then pump over the roots. Thats it. Microbes do all the work for you for everything short of the pumping itself and the right ones colonize the right places ❤
Drops work fine for my needs, dtw coco with mega crop or jacks 321
1300 ppm co2 in a 5x5 with the inline fan on 2 my tank will last me 11-14 days. I have to have that fan on or it will get above 95 degrees on me. With fan on its 87-95 which is a good range with rh at or under 60% I only use co2 last week of veg to week 6 flower
What size tank?
Hi Scotty. Man I think I lived in Hollywood Florida same time you were down there. I was there from 78 I was 9. To 95. Anyway here’s my question. This was an auto flower that was called dream queen. After 3 months I realized 5 were not flowering. So I let them ride on 20 an 4. They grew to 5 feet an started flowering man it took these plants 6 months to finish an I still think they could have gone longer mostly cloudy no amber yet. But the buds were so very heavy one of them split right in half. Seriously have YOU OR DOOD ever seen this or heard of it. Almost 7 months an I gota say brother the potency of the medicine is a long lasting not overboard at all but very productive head hi. Do u think these were just weird or something all 5 were almost exact. But good gracious man I threw out several after 3 month’s thinking something was wrong but man now I wished I’d just let the others finish. Never changed light cycle. Lov the show it truly givs me a lift to my day every day I listen. Thanks maybe we went to school together. I was at west Kendall for a while in elementary.
Lmao I thought I was being weird only using the drops them meters are such a waste of money but ur exactly ryt put like some recharge in a it don’t work so then POOL strips !!! I’m glad this subject came up I feel a whole lot better now lol
i just use vinger or baking soda why duy ph up and down
my ph comes out the kitchen sink at 7.5ish i leave it upto 24 hours n the ph drops to 6.0 - 6.5 then i apply my feed
love your show should you let city water settle for 24 then pump air ?
Recharge don't get you thru flower because of the nitrogen fixing bacteria so you gotta pH at some point
Imagine you have 9 different plants in every stage of grow and you just use same bottle of nutrients through the different plants whole grows?
Grow organic and u can forget about ph and stop flushing
You guys are starting to grow on me..😂
You ain't probing that 😂😂
Hey DGC. @ScottyReal. What is the chance you and Nice Guy Kenny do a diy video when making your live rosin?
Do the plants make sugar in the fan leaves during flower? And if so would that help feed the microbes?
Oh and if you want to go real cheap making your own Co2 bakers yeast sugar and water 👍
So I just tried the app. Couldn’t find the email with the activation code and can’t figure out how to get another code!
lol ph is no scam but people get too obsessed with it . I run hydro and I take it down to 5.5 and let it drift up to 6.2 before I adjust it again. Blue lab ph pen is best and keep it calibrated monthly . It’s easy. If I could afford it I’d run the blue lab ph auto doser.
Sitting in georgia waiting on trchomes to ripen ,what the hell ya do to plants ,out of 7 my tallestone didn't make 5 foot,I'm disappointed on my yeild
Calibrating a PH meter is easy, then just check it with the standards and you know you are on.
