So forgive me if this is actually a thing, but I personally have not heard anybody talk about it and it’s something I kind of thought of and maybe someone else has already but here it goes. So we all know about pH your water before a feeding and after you’ve added your nutrients well while studying the pH nutrient chart, I thought of something early to late veg. The plants need a higher rate of nitrogen and late flower, they need higher potassium so my way of thinking is that at the beginning of the plants life start off with a low pH around 6.2-6.5 for maximum nitrogen absorption, and towards the end of flower, have the pH closer to 7 for maximum phosphorus and potassium absorption.

My plants start vegetation at 5.8 and by the time I get them in flower they are at 6.0-6.1 and I increase my pH by .1 every week until I get to 6.4 – 6.5 pH and then I increase every other week until the end of flowering at 6.7 – 6.8 pH

@wrath420 that’s exactly what I’m thinking of doing with mine because in my head that would help increase nutrient absorption rates in the later stages

@CaptenKush It’s been working for me for years now!

@CaptenKush I actually learned this from a feeding schedule chart

@wrath420 lol im just figuring it out on my own!!!

Too Cool, love learning new stuff. We talking soil right?

@oldestschool well my main way of thinking was the pH of the water going in. I know the pH coming out is important as well.

Running experiments is cool

Brilliant!
I will be running this curve of a more acidic veg and a more alkalibe bloom.
Thanls foe thw insight

@jason2jackson it’s not a problem. It was honestly just a random stoner. Thought I had while studying the chart and thinking about pH drift. I’m glad sharing what I thought of. Can help others though that’s what this is all about right!
