Why I don't pH my water as an organic grower – Photosyntech Grow Show Ep. 6

UPDATED VIDEO: https://youtu.be/clQB8jO_pbQ

Just work past the intro folks, it was a phase.

In addition to the regular Growgress and Growers Spotlight features, I’m talking this week about why I do not need to pH my water as an organic grower.

THIS VIDEO IS FOR ADULTS ONLY.

    Don’t change the PH … Get water that’s already the right PH

  7. Dawson Lee on August 4, 2021 at 9:25 pm

    U should make the into a animated version of yourself



  8. Highly Digestible on August 4, 2021 at 9:26 pm

    what soil do you use or how do you make it in order to just use water for an entire grow? right now i use coco and nutes but i want to do a water only grow but i cant find a good formula for it anywhere to get started



  9. Kyle Tyer on August 4, 2021 at 9:27 pm

    With pro mix hp and ffof would you ph?



  10. Mr ganja 420 on August 4, 2021 at 9:31 pm

  14. Kyle Tyer on August 4, 2021 at 9:37 pm

    Can you tell me or explain how to and at what stage you use i/o and v/o. On old drivers you torn with screw driver? Ty



  15. Chance Chelios on August 4, 2021 at 9:37 pm

    So if I use my natural creek water with fish in it that’s an 8.8 or well water thats on my land to water my girls will it be good?



  16. Cryptofoo on August 4, 2021 at 9:39 pm

    Okay so!!! Great video! But I’m not sure I fully understand! My tap water is 7.5-8 and I use happyfrog as soil and I mix in via green 444 and 284 (autoflowers) and I don’t have any PH BUFFERS in my soil! Will I need to PH my water? Like the Canadian grower canucks hope you can answer my question thanks in advance growmie!!!



  17. RedHotSauce on August 4, 2021 at 9:40 pm

    You think water out the tap at 7.5 is ok or should i bring in down ? For living soil thanks



  18. Jenny Miller on August 4, 2021 at 9:40 pm

  19. NupeAtl on August 4, 2021 at 9:42 pm

    Thanks for the info….
    Trying to get the opinion from you and others on getting my PH right….
    Been doing pretty good but it always nice to see how others are dealing with the PH issue…
    👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼☮️



  23. Scorpios Lab on August 4, 2021 at 9:48 pm

    My well water is 9.0 my cannabis plants do fine. 450 foot deep aquifer. Very soft water, very clean. Has calcium in it, which is why it’s softer, and PH is 9.0.



  24. Darren on August 4, 2021 at 9:49 pm


  25. FEMALE ARMWRESTLING TV on August 4, 2021 at 9:54 pm

    There are organic ph regulators. At plagron (europe) we have Lemon kick 4 example



  26. Brian Gray on August 4, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    I wasn’t doing ph for the first 2 months and they were going short of nowhere. I was checking it but not adjusting it. I was using 7.0 RO water
    Soon as I started adjusting the PH they blew up like freaking bombs



  27. G S on August 4, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    is your soil considered a living soil, being organic? or is that something different? thanks for all the knowledge. 1 indoor run, still trying to fine tune some things. Using a premade living soil amendment. they say to ph it at 6.5. i don’t know what to think. the tap water here is 7.9-8.0. anyway, take care man. i noticed you don’t air stone the water, just let it sit. I thought the stone was needed. do the syn heads use it to mix the nutes basically?



  28. Kyle Tyer on August 4, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    And what would you ph pro mix hp at?



  29. johnny smith on August 4, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    Lots of BS out there on the ”perfect PH.”



  30. Marco DiGirolamo on August 4, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    Can anyone help me out with the harvesting of my organic grow…Do I feed until I pull..should I cut it in half?



  31. Cannagrownia on August 4, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    I loved the InFO, not gonna buy the bluelabs pen now will go cheaper, but an FYI just to help you out….I almost didn’t watch it because of the intro with the background…looks like your a nut lol…maybe do the song with a cartoon or better back drop .



  32. Darren on August 4, 2021 at 9:55 pm


  33. GoGetter Type on August 4, 2021 at 9:56 pm

    Thanks!



  34. Wayne Cordova on August 4, 2021 at 9:58 pm

    I need help 😫 I’ve started my grow organic but looking deficient now that I dropped into bloom I know how important time is so if u don’t got time to respond I understand thank u for time if u read this



  35. Tom Rotterford on August 4, 2021 at 9:59 pm

    PH has nothing to do with HYDROGEN, tf.
    Potential Hydrogen??? 😂 You DUMBASF



  36. Goreface23 on August 4, 2021 at 10:00 pm

    I grow organic and have only ever used well water never ph before and 5 years never had a issue would love to send u a nug to review of my own strain very first one has bout 7 or 8 days left to harvest



  37. Jenny Miller on August 4, 2021 at 10:01 pm

    Canuck goes from 6 five and 6 8 still gives plant a choice but it’s always good to for me saves me in long run



  38. Ray Jay on August 4, 2021 at 10:03 pm

    As a 30yr organic gardener, you are correct about pHing water. It only needs correcting if it’s WAY out of being neutral. And that’s actually pretty rare case for most areas.
    Great show!



  39. MDW KID on August 4, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    Mr. Canuk is still the man. Thank you for the info on this. Chicago tap water fluctuates on the daily it seems. 7.5 to 9.0 in coco/super soil wasn’t happy



  40. Darryl Bray on August 4, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    He doesn’t ph any of his water? I’m trying this.



  41. J on August 4, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    I would love to use my tap water in my living soil bed but am worried about the chloramine. Does Calgary use chloramine?



  42. Aaron Silva on August 4, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    Fun fact: the rainwater where I live this time of year is 6.8

    BTW, u sound like u got it dialed in 👍👍

    might be good for the newer ones to at least PH their medium and water though first to see where they’re at until they get to know their ingredients.



  43. Stewie PID on August 4, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    Off topic: I’m digging the Fender amp! A lot of growers I know play some type of musical / percussion instrument. What type(s) of guitars? I play an Ibanez Pro series with EMG’s. 11’s on the string gauge and a 20W Peavy Vypyr amp.



  44. Kyle Scott on August 4, 2021 at 10:08 pm

    Smart man



  45. Rya N on August 4, 2021 at 10:10 pm

    Obviously he doesn’t grow hard to grow strains cus you have to make sure the ph is legit



  46. Brandon Botchlet on August 4, 2021 at 10:10 pm

    Sorry I only disliked because of ur intro lmfao



  47. Deonric Greenwood on August 4, 2021 at 10:11 pm

    Growing is a headache but still tryna learn



  48. Geechee Farmer on August 4, 2021 at 10:12 pm

    Very informative. Glad I watched this before I paid for ph equipment for my poly bag ginger project.



  49. Se Vang on August 4, 2021 at 10:12 pm

    Clown intro but very helpful knowledge thank u.



  50. Marco DiGirolamo on August 4, 2021 at 10:12 pm

    I’m glad I watched this…I feel like I can’t help but to pH it because this is my very first grow…But you def convinced me.Ill just leave in the sun and then make sure it’s not crazy.For my very first grow I am really happy with it.Stonington soil..Stonington plant food.fish bone meal and kelp is all I’ve used.Oh and recharge here and there and great white.
