Which way is more efficient

[Clark1033]

Is it best to use a flush or PH up or PH down?

[dirtymike]

I'm confused

[Clark1033]

If you have a high PH, is it better to flush or use PH down?

[dirtymike]

Adjust your PH to match your medium and plant stage every time you water (with or without nutrients) (Adjust PH after adding Nutrients) Once it goes into the medium it and the cultivar do the rest.

Can you provide more detail? Grow details, etc? plz.

[Clark1033]

Fox Farm soil and nutes, cal mag, grow big, and big bloom, with a 10% mixture of coco coir, perlite and horse manure in a homemade grow tent.

[golfnrl]

Thx was trying to put your question in some context. Has something happened or are you asking a general question? As you can prolly tell from this thread that flushing and adjusting PH are mostly separate subjects.

[Rwise]

what has washing the nutrients from the soil have to do with adjusting PH?

[OldManGrower]

I believe you misunderstand how to adjust and maintain PH. You adjust the PH of your watering medium to the level you want it. What is your growing medium?

I'm confused again

You always come down from being up. That's the sad part ...

To start how many times have you read this

https://www.growweedeasy.com/basics

I bet I am up to about 50 times becasue no matter how long I grow I learn something new everytime I read it
Then you should read this and print out the which ever media you use.
Leave the media alone and adjust the input PH per the charts and forget about the PH output

[Clark1033]

Never but im staring today. Thanks

[Allenpro]

Good Idea

[Rootsruler]

I think he's talking about soil pH. He probably did a slurry test and found his soil to be too high or low so he's thinking flushing will lower or raise it.

[dirtymike]

Where does horse manure come into play??

[Allenpro]

I am not a soil grower and if I was I probably wouldnt check the soil PH and if I had a problem I would switch soil brands.
I think he needs to read some of the turtorials,

[Allenpro]

Horse Manure is the best way to burn the shit out of your plants before they are ready to harvest.

[Clark1033]

I wasn't balancing my PH prior to feeding. I'm new to this, I'm still in the learning stage.

[golfnrl]

Every person on here was a beginner at some point. Learning never stops so you're doing well, just don't give up. I saw your other thread. Looks like from there you're doing some reading, that's good.

[dirtymike]

PH of water going into the pot is a key factor.
