@Mike62g, no worries, I'm traveling for a long time now and really enjoy watching like-minded people doing there thing! Good Job man looking forward to your results! Cheers!

@Herigreen, I ran silica (armour si) in veg , but with my current set up I stop using it during the stretch to allow me to bend branches easier because I find the silca makes branches too stiff , As well it’s very alkaline which makes my nutrients solution require a ton of ph drop to bring my water levels to the appropriate ph . I always run silca in veg tho , makes for a strong plant . Thank you for the advice , always appreciate it

@Mike62g, have you tried silica as a ph-buffer? It should help you to stabilize your ph between 5 and 6. You solve it in a gallon of water and than add it into the nutrientsolution (if you try to solve it directly into the nutriensolution it can precipitate).

I’ve grown this strain a few times now , and I’ve seen faster growth and better results with running a lower ph in Veg , but when flower comes around I always keep it at 6ph to make phosphorus more readily avalable . Anything between 5.5-6 I’m happy with because the volume of water I’m running can make it a challenge to keep the ph on an exact number , as much as I try everyday to keep it at 6
