Cannabis PH - Best PH Level For Growing Potent Cannabis

Thanks for the awesome video. Just looking at the chart would the ph not be best at around 5.3 for hydro?

[@DK-pr9ny]

These charts are off. Below 6.0 and above 7.0 in soil, cannabis can lock out many nutrients and start losing leaves due to deficiencies. 6.5 is the money number.

[@navyp03]

How did that turned out

[@professor4202]

the difference in nutrient uptake between pH 6.3 and pH 6.5 is negligible. i doubt that you could see or tell the difference in any way.

On the Hydro chart it looks like ~5.3 would have the most availability, why wouldn't that be better? P.s. I've read numerous times about the 5.5-5.9 being ideal, just curious about why "optimumal" isn't around 5.3.

Excellent video, thanks. Can you advise regarding the best fan for a grow room?

[@misterkim6206]

AC Infinity is top notch if you're looking for inline fans with duct tubing. If not, it depends on the size of the room but I definitely like oscillating fans. The little portable ones are hit and miss and you need a couple of them usually. I like them to hit the plants a little to make them stronger like natural wind, but not directly all the time.

Could be a build up of salt that can also be a nutrient block. Ph the water to 6.5 and give it a good flush should sort it out.

How low of a ph would you use for a soil grow while still in veg ? I have heard plants like a lower ph early on and a bit higher in flower for reasons you described. I have been using 6.4 and 6.8, but technically my soil is a third coco coir, so perhaps a bit lower then ? 🍻🤟😎Thanks man ✌️

[@ar19rubio]

I would play with it a bit I’ve done as low as 5.9 in full coco for moms and they are fine, reason being is because I use the same feeding for the rest of the stuff in rock wool and I don’t like going over 5.9 in rockwool as you’ll definitely see changes if given a couple of feedings.. I think you could go as low as 6.1 and you’ll be just fine if growing in a third of coco.. just noticed this comment is like 3 years old😂

The lower the pH the more problems you will have with rot. I suggest 7-7.5

[@Humbulla93]

if you grow in soilless media yes 5,2-5,3 is better than 5,5-6,5 especially later in grow you will have less issues than with the higher ph, but also consider your water quality, best practice is to use RO water

Say the ph keeps dropping in hydro is that because the plant wants what it can get at that ph or cos it had too much of something or if it wants stuff available at higher ph does it go down to make u add more ?

Bro, so can i use distilled watter (demi 6-7ph)???

[@28russ]

Yes. Some people only use distilled water in their hydro systems as their tap waters PH is way too high and to hard to bring down. Personally I just use tap water as it's much more convenient and comes out of the tap close enough to 7 for me :-)

Tap water is ok for a soil grow. Be sure to let chlorine evaporate by letting bucket sit for 24hrs after filled

hey man, im doing a coco/perlite grow with organic dry amendments in the soil. can i start using non organic nutes after the amendments play out? right now im ph-ing at 6.5 - 6.8 and not using nutes. i was thinking after about a month and a half in when the amendments are expired i could introduce synthetic nutes (i had a lot of trouble re-amending mid grow via amendment top dressing so i wanna try switching mid grow) and then start ph-ing around 6.0 - 6.5. is this feasible you think? or does a grow have to be one way or the other, that is, only organic, or only synthetic nute based.

[@mobeus84]

seedlings/clones start at 5.8 then gradually up to 6.3 for coco

[@mobeus84]

with coco it's pretty important to check ur inputs AND outputs on ppm and ec. in coco as u feed and ur media dries out the little bit of salt left in there will make ur ec rise and ph drop. so as ur plant gets bigger u must adjust ur solution ph up due to more food. yes coco is different than either soil or hydro.

[@tylerphares7497]

So I was doing some research on water ph levels. Nestle purelife has a ph of 6.5 and arrowhead drinking water a ph of 6.3. For someone who doesn't want to mess with a ph tester and ph up and down; could one use water that has a base ph that is need for the plant. I realize calmag and other nutrients will affect this, however is it possible and what do you think the benefits vs the cons would be? Thank you in advance to any reply.

[@Bloomcycle]

I do this with a 1ltr bottle every time. With my nutrients it comes out at a perfect 6 . Nutrients drop ph

If the soil is showing a PH of 5, should I over compensate and use say like 7.5-8 ph level of nutrients to help swing it back? Or should I just focus on getting the nutrient solution to 6.5 and keep doing that?

[@pedclarkemobile]

Focus on solution pH. If you are seeing deficiencies then test the pH of your run off and then consider changing input pH.

[@TheMoonDr]

@@pedclarkemobile What should the PH of the run off be?

[@pedclarkemobile]

@@TheMoonDr within 0.5 of your target pH... A higher concentration of nutrients will hold pH better than a weak solution

[@TheMoonDr]

@@pedclarkemobile I've noticed Fox Farms stuff is really low in PH. Which I didnt notice till late in the game. The run off is 5.5, and the solution is 6.5. My normal tap water is 9.0.

[@pedclarkemobile]

@@TheMoonDr the tap water pH isn't so relevent because the ppms are low... A high ppm (high concentration) solution will hold its pH much more than tap water. If you have pH up then try putting in pH 6.8 so the media will bring it down to around 6. . . . Peat based media become more acidic over time. Usually lime is added to buffer the pH up to 6.5... this wears off over time so it takes constant attention to keep it optimal.
