I have only done 3 grows, my first 2 were using FFOF but I decided to use Promix on my 3rd.

I thought the ph of the feed water should be around 6.5 like I havedone with soil and seen good results, but I realize now that it is soilless medium and I have been doing 6.1 which somebody has told me was better for promix and I'm still seeing problems so I am still not sure.

It's gonna be harvested in a week so it's kinda too late, but it turned around some. I tried 6.5 and had a lot of problems. I switched to 6.1 and it seemed to get better but not fully. I'm not sure why, maybe the problems we're not ph.... sorry my data is bad right here. I will definitly post pics on this thread as soon as the data is good, my profile pic is actually from the grow but it doesn't help, I'll update with pics of the full grow at different stages, and videos. I want my next grow to be better. On my next grow I am switching back to FFOF with added Perlite and Dolomite line. Do you add perlite to yours?

Added nothing to the pro mix but water and my nutrients. Stop changing soils its not the issue . its the environment or nutrient or a gremlin in the grow room. Or water quality or your over watering. Later if you can get a good pic let us see what's going on. Some very smart people on roolitup will get your plants healthy

I was going to mention him next. They are both so one demensional. I blocked Josh because I won't give him views. I won't let YouTubers make money off smoking weed all day.

I have always wondered if his name really is Josh or if it would be Josh if it was Josh. But I can definitly say my name would be Josh if it was Josh so I'm not lying.

"josh" is also a weed photographer and works in dispenseries. Have you seen Berners show? Josh makes an appearance in one of the first 4 episodes when they visit a dispensery in Washington. And I think his strain reviews are geared towards people in the area who could actually go buy the same weed he provides photos, flavor reviews, and describes the effects of so they can have an idea of what they are buying. It is similar to wine or restaurant reviews, or even product review.
...
As for custom grow 420, he doesn't even grow so the name doesn't make sense. And in his one gram dab video he bitched out so hard! it was the worst dab bitch out I have ever seen. But he has a few videos that have information about new weed products like liquid terps, 99% THC crystals, and cannagars. I take him with a grain of salt. And I always skip past the annoying intro.

Im using ProMix HP for the first time as well, I ph it just like I did when I used ffof (6.3-6.4) with no issues... Biggest difference is I use a higher nute ppm compared to ffof-ffhf.....

Yes when I first started using Promix my PH was about 6.2. Most of my plants did really well, but I had problems with a couple. I dropped it down to 5.8 and had no problems.

I learned all about ph and alkalinity and pro mix here on their website.

I hope this helps someone like it did me when I tried to figure out this ph stuff. There are many relevant articles and videos with the correct answers as they apply to crop growing.

There is similar info at Jacks fertilizer website and many other industry websites.
