So i just got a pH test kit and some pH down and got my shit at 6.5 Is this where i need it to be for Grandaddy purple or grape punch, or pot in general does it matter. And too can i foliar feed with this water? And or should i be foliar feeding at all newayz? Thanks for all the help everybody.

we'll wait for some more seasoned opinions, but from my experience, spraying the leaves with anything(with the exception of fresh cut clones) has nothing but a range of zero help to negative effects. This is just personal experience, but maybe some of the pros agree or have a different opinion. Any time you spray a plant under HID lights with nutrients, it will almost always cause light focused burns from droplets on your leaves.

its different with hydro and soil, i think.

hydroponics = 5.4-5.8
soil is........ I don't know I've never really cared for soil I guess I see 6.5-7.5? I seem to see 6.8 as the target range.

mandala's faq says 5.5-6.8 for soil.. I've definately seen 7.2 and maybe 7.5 (it sounds right in my head)

I think foliar spraying can be great if you know what you're doing, and I'd recommend keeping a mother or two in a really small cabinet. This way, you can take several, smaller clones, and use them to test different pH levels. You need to find the good ones for your substrate and your plants, I should think.

yeah you can foliar feed with it.....if you know what your doing foliar feeding can be great! ....and the ideal ph for hydro is pretty much anwhere between 5.5-6.8 with no bad effects, but ive noticed its better to have it too low than too high...... and for soil cannabis grow best in the range from 6.5-7.0 ......

hey impgl, were you seeds feminized? if so thats how they get feminized strains by breeding with herms. which also so kinda weakens the strain in my opinion, well makes it alot more likely to have them from the seeds, if stressed the least bit

P.S. if you don't own a copy of Marijuana Horticulture, the indoor/outdoor medical growers bible, you need to get a copy!
