01
Water Source
Let's kick off with your water source – probably the good ol' tap water. If that's your H2O of choice, leave it in an uncovered container over night. Why? It's like giving your water a chance to breathe, letting any chlorine dissipate. Now, for those of you thinking, "Tap water, not my scene," rainwater is an eco-friendly alternative. If your tap water isn't exactly pristine, think about using filtered or distilled water.
02
pH Balance
PH is the scale that measures how acidic or alkaline your water is. We're aiming for a sweet spot between 6.2 and 6.5. It's crucial for their growth, development, and overall well-being.
Testing pH is simpler than you think. One way is with a pH meter, a nifty tool. included in the EZ Grow Kit, that gives you a digital reading of your water's acidity. Check it regularly. If your pH is too high (too alkaline), add some lemon juice or vinegar. On the flip side, if it's too low (acidic), baking soda or crushed eggshells are your go-to pH elevators.
03
Frequency
Let's talk frequency – the goal is to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. But how do you know when it's time to water? Here's a trick: stick your finger into the soil about an inch deep. If it feels dry, it's hydration time. Now, about water temperature – think of it like preparing a comfortable bath for your plants. Aim for a sweet spot between 65-75°F (18-24°C) to prevent shocking your plants. Consistency in watering and a temperature that mimics nature fosters a healthy environment for your Red House Seed plants.

Nutrients From Nature
When it comes to autoflowering cannabis, they have specific nutrient needs that evolve as they grow. During their early days, these plants crave more nitrogen. As they move into producing flowers, phosphorus and potassium becomes crucial. At Red House Seed we embrace the concept of living soil with microorganisms working together to provide your plants with a buffet of nutrients.
Experienced growers often use an advanced technique to increase plant production and yield. This involves using a combination of both organic and non-organic nutrients, carefully added to the water. While this approach is more complicated, it allows growers to customize the nutrition for their plants. Information on these methods are readily accessible online and at local grow stores.
