Can't search for "common" words?

[Maj.Cottonmouth]

I tried to search for information about using ph down since I have never used it before and this is what I get back

"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : ph, down"


This seems to make the search feature close to useless, any suggestions to make searching IC actually give results?

I went onto Google and added a few words. I typed in:


"adding PH down icmag.com"

Exactly like that and found hits. Try that and see if you can get somewhere! Hope that helps out

GH's page gives this info

HOW MUCH pH UP/DOWN IS NEEDED PER GALLON?

Answer: Start out with one milliliter per gallon. Wait 15 To 30 minutes, and test your water again. Frequently you will only need 1 to 2 ml of pH Up/Down per gallon of water. You may need additional pH Up/Down if you have hard water. The General Hydroponics Flora Series is pH buffered to facilitate keeping the pH in a favorable range.

That seems like alot of ph down per gal to me.

i use an eye dropper and put about 4 drops per gal and have never used more than 10 drops per gal

It all depends on your water and what else you add...

Get a tester that uses drops, they are cheap and never fail like pens do.

Start with less cause the last thing you want is to add too much and dont go buy ph up to correct an error just add more water.

Good luck

The reason for this is the information is in a tangled web. Most posts do not use tags. Just looking for posts on a specific strain produces jumbled results. Many of which are burried deep in the thread.

However I have success find the information I am searching for.
