Growing Lettuce With Different PH Levels 

That's normal when working with chemistry. Even the us does that. Jeez

​@@LXW-Arts ?

Thank you for mentioning that I use the metric system because I don't understand the type of measurements Americans use.

you should try out Jeb Gardener. Not only will he show constant experimentation with food crops, but he is absolutely wonderful to watch. His editing and music are always fun.

Agreed, and cannabis has a very different nutrient profile from something like basil or lettuce. @Dying Moths: I love Jeb but think he's better as entertainment. mhpgardener has a lot of information but he did it when cameras weren't near what they are today so the quality suffers.

No you do it...

@@mindful_minipods no u

What's important is the amount of stress the plant goes through in order to absorb it's required nutrients. The recommended 5.5 - 6.5 pH for growing lettuce and most bracicas makes it easier on the plant to absorb as many nutrients as possible during it's life span. Usually results in a healthier, tastier vegetation.

This was helpful!

600 PPm means how much EC ?

@@narohit yes

@@narohit 1,2

Ppm and size matter the less plant matter the less feed they need try and keep it low and go up at 25 at a time ppm

Nice call. Brix is the trix

@@northeastslingshot1664 yea, higher mineral content and sugar content should mean much healthier and tastier food. They look the same or close with your eye but when you test it the results may show that one or the other is far superior to the other.

Cube Root Farming sort of. If you run aeration, then the ph can drop easily and become fairly acidic rather quickly. That can lead to root rot. Although much of the time having extra oxygen at the roots combats the anaerobic bacteria that is associated with rotting. It usually just means that you have to change out the solution once or twice.

Why include aeration when im just growing green leafy? Kratky system is best for leafy vegetable as per my experience.

Yeah this was very informative for my... Jalapeno grows.. !!

Police will check it out

@@hugonewguy4009 shut up bitch

All kinds, but all led.

@@GrowingAnswers tnx! Laura

Jay Chen google image it. I don’t know specifically the site it came from.

Erwin Castillo it gets changed when it runs low.

Sugar wouldn’t precip at that ph.

@@GrowingAnswers i can leave nutrient solution in a bottle for months with 0 precipitation, so that why i question it.

Ideally below 70

All the same

Blake Hinds I live about an hour from there

Growing Answers nice that’s crazy small world!! I just started my indoor garden and I’ve been watching a lot of your videos thanks for all the info you provide 🙏

I don’t really think it matters whether it’s solid or liquid because it’s all solid at some point. What’s dissolved in solution with the liquid fertilizer will fall out of solution at different pH levels. If I remember correctly with the experiments that I’ve done, is that pH only really matters mostly at the extreme. So for a pH of six or a pH of seven it’s not really going to matter much at all.Some people like to make it dead on when they make their solution. For example 6.3 or 6.5. Between both of those numbers it really doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have to be that perfect. It’s going to adjust itself anyways within a very short time in hydroponics. It will also change with soil but does it more slowly because soil has buffers in it usually. When it comes to growing indoors, nobody is really growing with solid fertilizers. That’s more than a lawn or outdoor garden thing. And really the purpose of that is time release.

@@GrowingAnswers Why thank you.

rohit saini not sure what you mean by natural light. The only difference between sunlight and artificial light is usually abundance’s of IR and UV.

@@GrowingAnswers yes, I mean sunlight

@@GrowingAnswers also in Delhi, all consider 5.9 pH is the best for lettuce, Thanks and waiting for ur response

rohit saini I don’t think it matters that much. Heat is probably the main culprit when it comes to natural light. Heat stress and non-optimal ph likely play on each other so results would show a larger margin in that case.

@@GrowingAnswers we use shade net to cut heat generated by sun light , can we use double layer of shade net to cut or reduce heat by sun,

Gary Green no difference. Sugars are produced in the leaves and since there was no real difference in coloration, they all tasted the same. Most of the time, the only difference in taste you’ll get is from different lighting.

If u wanted to see difference in taste grow TLO , not salt based nutrients .

Growing Answers taste has to do with what u fed the plant. Synthetic has horrible flavor, true live organics has the most pure natural taste . Although growth rates are significantly smaller with organic soil. I prefer flavor over yield when it comes to vegetables.

King Salmon well yes feeding and lighting. But since all the plants were fed the same and had the same lighting, there’s no difference. Typically though when talking about eating the leafy greens and not the fruit of a plant, lighting has a significant impact on leaf taste.

JG Photography not sure. It just a general guide really. There’s a common ground when it comes to ph across almost any hydroponics grow. Soil is usually closer to neutral with the exception of a few plants.

Dont need to. Par meter ensures light is the same for each.
