i noticed ppm climbed from 280 to 290 to 300 over last 2 days
water level is about an inch below the netcups but the bubbling and fizzing from the airstone are easily wicking the netcups. pH drifted a bit too

Which direction did ph drift?

up, went up to 6.3 and i adjusted it to 6.1 again

Your good .

Your good .

Yeah? Well, you're breathtaking!

Yeah? Well, you're breathtaking!

I’m pretty sure that’s the hydrogens or whatever @3rd Monkey was explaining.

i have to be careful applying things at this stage - they're not even into the water yet. I wish i could stretch 'em like taffy LOL

Made me blush lol. My ph drifts up . I’m in tap . Ppm goes up after first couple days . Ph goes up but really slow .

If you’d had mowed today and took a pic you’d had me lmao.

Ph going up can be a couple things. Carbonic acids evaporating, hydroxides forming, etc.

As long as you keep your ph within 5.5-6.5 you shouldn't have any issues. Ppm going up is no biggie either. At this point, it could be a pint of water shy of what it was before that's giving you a 10ppm boost. If you want to drop ppm a bit, just add some plain.

I'll bet he did mow today and was gonna take a pic but it was getting ready to rain and he had to hustle lol.

Bunch of hydro tweakers up in here lol. Can't get enough of that stuff!

Damn right, more buckets on the way

Hahahaha me too!!

I had posted a few back trying to figure out what all else I needed to start a bucket. I have the bucket and lid plus a air pump line and stone what size net pot is best? Also what is best to put in the net pot? Is hydroton best? Just need a little direction here kind of lost as to what the ppm needs to be for the water

I use coco in my net pot, 3". I gave it base nutes around 100-125 ppm to start. Also hydroguard, about 1ml to a gallon. Im using 4 gal buckets
