    HYDRO pH On A Pogo Stick

    I've only ever mixed nutes at a max of half strength until last week. I tried mixing at 3/4 strength because of the considerable plant mass I'm feeding. I wound up pouring pH Up in both totes every day trying to keep the pH from crashing! If my girls are large, is it better to only mix half strength like I did for yesterday's feeding and change the reservoir twice as often or is it better to increase the strength and just deal with pH bouncing up and down?

    I don't add pH down to my water unless I'm changing it completely. I've noticed my pH tends to drop as time passes and my tap water pH is around 7.5 (I think, I haven't checked it in a few months) so when I top off I don't add pH down. Seems to work great for me, the girls are loving it. I have some beastly ladies that like to drink all the water up. As for feeding I've followed the bottle at half strength the whole time with no issues either. Main issue I have now is one of my girls wants to keep growing into the light no matter how many times I supercrop her.

      Pictures like that make me want to take over the whole basement with my grow.

      Why not? I live alone so that tent takes up my whole dining room, I have 3 tents in one bedroom and the other spare is kind of a storage area. I actually had to take a few plants out to get that picture.
