COCO COIR Help! PH too low, can't fix!

Do you know what medium? And if its sensi or connoisseur a&b by chance. I have every feeding chart from AN all mediums and grow levels. I can share and maybe help.
 
pretty sure it's sensi and he gets his soil from someone all he tells me is it's black gold and won't tell me where he gets it. I told him that was his problem lol he probably doesn't know what's in it. I told him to join the site and ask some questions but he's paranoid. I've told him to grow in something labeled with ingredients or coco but seems to think this is some prize winning dirt and swears by it because his buddy did it and grew pounds. Never seen him produce any quality before though now he thinks the nutes just messed his whole grow up first time using them. Says he should have just grown his schwag rofl.
 
Actually that is a pretty common soil. You can get it bunch of places and its fairly cheap.... Nothing really makes it special. Its organic and they have a few mixes.

But its all about following the chart, not to a tee, but knowing what to do to make it work. its a simple process though. he shouldnt be having pH issues if hes using r/o and he is measuring foid correctly and adding in the correct order.
 
I always talk to the same person, every time, cause I want to, at advanced nutrients, when I call, I ask for him.
He told me all that ph perfect products were designed to be used in DWC, but other growers told him that it works ok, growing other ways too. But he also told me that they get complaints big time ,Every day from people using the ph, perfect products. He said they are still to this very day ,trying to figure it out. It does not work great for everyone, even with RO, water, or less than 100ppm water,. I use advanced nutrients myself, without RO, water an it does ok, but the bottom line is they want to sell nutrients, he also told me that they were worried about some real easy to use products out now like MegaCrop, an several more new products that are 1part nutrients, an super easy to use, that they were also trying to get in on that ,part of it.
They have guaranteed on my bottles, in big letters, in little letters ,they say for Optimal results, or water less than 100ppm, they want to sell, any way they can, the more the better. They got the best adds, an advertisement, but Advanced Nutrients are not the best out there, by any means. They are ok, but not any better, than the others, even with all their little commercials like the one you show where they do it on camera, I don't think they tell the truth, an neither do lots of other people, all you got to do is read reviews, that have not been doctored. An read other forums, some like advanced, but a hellava lot do not like Advanced

Are they having most calls about soil or across all mediums? Because I am in soil and have had nothing but ph issues since the start. I was also using well and now I am switching to r/o currently because of the issues.

I bought the master grower kit for this grow to try their entire line. The only products I dont have of theirs is their pH up or down. Really hoping Im not throwing money away. The products were working fine other than the weird pH issues. That is until about week 4 of flower now Ive got 7 aggrivated females on my hands.

I also put in an order for mega crop last night, liked the look of their product.

What are your thoughts on kind soil compared to nutes at all. Cost is much more but work is less. But I cant get 5 lbs for less than 45 shipped thats only 1 pot.. Is it worth it?

This grow I am going to try and compare a few nutrient sources and I need it to be much easier than the entire AN line. During summer I work 2 jobs upwards of 70 hrs a week. So I need the easiest feeding possible compared to cost.
 
Hey Urbz, if you live in a place where ,you can build your own soil and start growing that way ,you want ever grow any other way ,it's super easy to build, and maintain, then all you will ever need is worm compost tea an molasses, to give them a good kick in the ass, every now an then. I sure hope you got room to do this, your soil even smells good ,and you don't need very much room either.
You want be buying nutrients anymore. Or having ph problems either.
 
I might do this. During summers I do landscaping and have access to a lot of the main ingredients.
 
Please do it ,you will never look back, you got the perfect job ,plus you like to read an study ,there is untold,numbers of good stuff that you can add to your soil, thats makes it even better.
I know some folks that love their homemade soil, better than their plants, plus it's so easy to do and maintain.
 
Are you running into pH related issues with your flowers? I started growing with not checking pH and had great results. Once I started using pH pens I started chasing issues that weren't really issues (micromanagement). After about a month of this with no real difference in growth quality I threw that stuff in the trash and never looked back. Of course I'm not recommending you toss the pH stuff, because everyone's system is different. But if it works, why make a mountain out of a mole hill?
 
Thanks a lot for helping me understand the r/o. I went out and got a purifier to put on my faucet (pur is brand) and tested just the ro water and it went UP to 8 plus when it was 7 w/o purifier. Then I put half tsp per gallon, part A & B,Cal Meg plus,and Hydro Guard for roots and ph came out way too low at 4.
SO I think I'd be better off with my other 3 part system(pink,purple& green) rather than this expensive advanced nutrients ph system if I have to monkey around with ph anyway, to me it kind of defeats the purpose!
On my big plants(LSD) I had a perfect system going on my 3 part system until they started turning yellow, so going by the pics and info on this site,(and I did a lot of obsessing) it basically said that all the symptoms start with ph.
And then I started with autos(not by choice, I have a limited time before my tent has to come down to put house on market) and all hell broke loose with the ph on autos, witch is where the advanced nute ph system came in.
What else can I do? I refuse to keep using this product and still having to ph! I have shipping labels ready to send them back.
Thanks so much for taking time to help me!
 
I ordered that fox brand that comes already ph'ed and considered "hot soil".I wish the shipping were less expensive,I would be using it all the time.
It costs about what 1 bag of coco already mixed costs,BUT with shipping it doubles the price and personally I can't afford it.I love the bag I have!
