I picked up a 1000 w hps reflector hood with cool tube, i got a 5' by 8' grow area, separate from veg area, got two inline fans with 6 inch duct pulling cool air in and hot air out thru dryer vents, ph is a perfect 5.8, fox farm soils and liquid nutes for flower... what are your thoughts on coco vs soil, im not getting the bud i was hoping for, got SD and bubble berry clones, i dont know what im doing wrong, i kinda want to switch to coco on the next grow, What are your thoughts, thanks guys

Well first off if you are growing soil 5.8 isnt the right PH level... 5.8 PH is for hydroponic grows 6.3-7.0 for soil grows. Were you growing in soil with a 5.8 PH the whole time? Maybe thats what you are doing wrong

yeah, idk ive asked a few people and they said 5.8 was a perfect ph for soil growers, its crazy how every grower always has diff ideas on what it should be, thanx ima look some stuff up bout it

Well I would go back and tell those people they are stupid and dont know how to grow cannabis! So yeah basically you are trying to grow plants in soil with a hydroponic gardening PH level please change your PH or continue to fail at growing cannabis.

cool, i made the adjustments and got the ph at 6.5 now, thnx beaverhuntr, added rep

Hey no problem man,we all made mistakes before we got the hang of this stuff.. YOu were locking out a lot of essential nutrients..Now your grow will take off and everything will be kosher.
