Try diluting down to 20-25%, way easier to use. A dosing syringe makes dosing and diluting down way easier when working with smaller volumes.

I smoke so much literally that I did not think to dilute it. I appreciate that. Just me an my stoner woes However I am doing my best to maintain ph without using it. If I do use it, diluting would make me feel a little better about it. Thank you. I'm still learning little tricks as I go along.

Get your tolerance up! Lol! Jokes aside the best approach is like you wrote to create a solution that is stable enough without any pH adjustments. I only have to pH adjust once mid week with Jack's in hydro.

Running Dyna Gro I never had to pH adjust other than when mixing the nutrient solution with weekly res changes. If you use silicate (like Pro-tekt, rhino skin etc) you can adjust the dosage to fit your desired pH without ever using pH up or down. Cheers!

I use Rhino skin as my silicate. It has helped a lot.

This plant looks more like a crown. I like the shape. Canopy is even when her branches are let go, but she will be tied down yet again. I want to fill space. I want nothing but shade on the floor of the tent So far so good. I love the way she's cooperating. Everything up to this point has gone so smooth. Now with her branches not tied down I have room for the clone to sit in and bond, or whatever plants do when we're not watching.

It really doesn't look like she has as many tops as she does. (30+ ) I can't wait til they grow out, so I can spread them out to be seen. (Work in progress)
If I want it to work.. I know a bigger tent will be needed to finish her out.

I have been thinking about using, well actually planning on using a tomato cage to support her later in life, but I do want to get a bigger space. I want to try the scrog method. Between here & instagram I see a lot of scrogs that make a newb grower drool... probably make a few experienced growers drop their jaw. This on here sticks out by Northernscrogger on IG.
He's scrog is practically full to the max . Lighting above & below. Amazing.

12 weeks from sprout, and she's getting a new home. From a 2gal to a 5gal fabric pot. To prevent any damage I just cut down the sides, and peeled the 2gal pot off.

I put about 2" of packed soil in the bottom of the pot before setting her down in it.

With this move I'm not filling a plug. I'm just going to use a cup to pour the soil in and pack it & spray it to moisten it as I lay it in the sides.




Initially the soil was not dry or wet. I watered 2 days ago. Transplanted about 24hrs prior to when I would have watered again. This combined with me just cutting her out of the pot saved me a mess to clean up.
In the new pot I watered the initial 2" of soil on the bottom. Nice and saturated before sprinkling the Mykos, and setting the plant in. I poured layers into the sides of the new pot until it was full. Fresh FFOF / Mykos / Fresh FFOF and so on. I also lightly watered the top once full with about 1L of water (Un PH'd tap) aprox. 8ph 200ppm straight. I will water til runoff in 24hrs.

That is art my friend. Nice!

Thanks! Means a lot. Still trying to master the craft. I’m a long ways out lol

A few of those branches in there will have to be super-cropped to blend with the LST she's about to get hit with. Those legs are stretching, now it's time to spread em out (again)

Yea those tops are way too close to let her go.

Now that she's cut, it's time to spread them legs.

Using good ol' 2" paper clips and rubber coated plant ties.

All the outside branches are getting tied back, then I will work the jungle in the center.

While I'm at it I'm pinching all internodal growth below the third node. All I need is energy shooting straight up to where those colas are gonna sit.
