Grow Schedule

Being a planner (and a bit OCD) I'm working on a grow schedule that includes all the stuff I'll need for the next 13 or so weeks. I've put in targets for PH, TDS, Temp (air and solution), and RH for each week.

I'll be growing Critical Kush in a 10 gallon DWC setup with the flora trio nutes at 50% strength.

The one question I haven't found a consistent answer to is how PH targets should change across stages, or if they should change at all. Some people say the veg stage requires a slightly higher PH and others say the opposite. Anyone have input on this? Is it best just to target 5.8 throughout the entire grow cycle?

Aim for 6.0 pH. Various factors affect the pH level in your solution. Stick with 6.0 through the grow. It will fluctuate so suggest daily checks. Read up on pH and what drops or increases can mean.

I was under the impression you get close to locking out P and K at a PH of 6 for hydro. With the normal PH fluctuations, it would drift in and out of the different areas of nutrient availability. Since I'm using automated PH controller, I assume my plants won't benefit from minor PH fluctuations and that I'll need to get it dialed in to just the right PH.
