I want to know what you think about using Dyna gro and your past experiences with the ph fluctuations if any what are you using for nutrients and the hassle of pH ing. Or to pH or not to pH? What is everyone’s thoughts on the pH monitoring.

I’m not familiar with Dynagrow, but if you are truly going to grow in a soilless medium, you need to monitor and adjust the ph of your watering solution. If you do the same thing enough times, you can anticipate what needs to be done, but stuff almost always needs to be done and you’ll need to monitor and adjust a bunch of times to learn what to do. And then, you’ll still need to monitor and adjust pretty frequently.
I use MegaCrop with ro water. When things start to go sideways it’s usually becasuse I slacked on my ph adjusting this week.
Hydro. Monitor and adjust, it’s a way of life. Not much way around it. Good luck

That’s the very reason I use coco. I just don’t want to hassle with it.

I don’t have an issue with it. I never pH anything. I use nutes that buffer to my neutral tap
I’m using Advanced Nutrients pH perfect and so far so good, no pH measuring 
, has a lot of haters here in OG 
but as long as your tap water has a reasonable pH range it works …

But this is the hydro forum, and a ph of 6.5 is far from ideal for hydro. Most who run coco consider it too high for that too. Glad it works for you though!

Sorry missed that, disregard my advice please
Can’t tell if you have them in soil or hydro, looks really good healthy, what light are you using?
I just realized the OP didn’t say what he was growing in, so who knows what’s best?
