Not a god damn thing. Distilled water. Zero ppm. And hydroguard. It had my tap water in it which everyone was saying was ok but I mean....... ph has never went under 5.5. Never went above 6.2.

So I don’t know what the hell the problem is. My soil plants looks perfect lmao

You aren't adding ph up or down?

My ph starts in the 5.8 range and by the time I get home it’s up to 6.5-6.8.

Yeah I’m not sure how anyone with a job is supposed to keep up with this. What more can I do? I check before work. Good. Check after work. Good. Check before bed. Good.

Occasionally PPM is just stupid? Is it when I’m running lower on water or?

I didn’t go to work today because I’m so mad over it. Going to try it Clyde style and sit here and stare at it all day and see what happens.

Dude, you're doing everything right in your bucket. Don't sweat it. It's the topside that hurt it.

Honestly, if those were my roots, I'd give them a light feed of calmag.

I don’t have any cal/mag.... :/ might can take advantage of the day and go buy some though....

My Candy dawg auto I tried I put in my tent under full watts. Bottom set of leaves would curl up and die while the new set would grow. Then those would curl up and die.

Wondering if my DWC failures have been purely killing them with too much light :/

Ppm is 002. Ph is 5.75.

I’m telling you though. In a few days....: that PPM is gonna rise. Why?

That ppm rises for a few reasons.

Your plant produces waste through the roots and back into the water to feed bacteria which you don't have. Normally, they would eat them and ppm count is more accurate.

Another reason is temp. Temp will allow more or less dissolved gases into the water content.

Lastly, your ph controls introduce ppm.

If you're sure it's not a light leak, then it's one of the above.

Most likely. I've been finding that these QBs and LEDs are a much different animal than HPS.

What nutes are you using?

Well this bucket took about 2ml of PH DOWN to get on point. So let’s consider that variable. Now let me go get a water temp for you and we will assess that. I can add a ice pack if need be but hang on.
