My nutradip tri-meter is saying the the solution in my dwc is being raised from 5.5 to 7.0 in like 2 hours. I adjust it with pH down, then 2 hours later back up to 7.0-7.3...WTF
Is this normal to continuously have to pour pH down into the bucket 5-6 times a day?
Do u have pix?
Are u feeding ur plants yet?
Is this a newly established reservoir meaning when did u set it up?
We would need the answers to most of those questions to give a proper answer but ill try to give u a quick run down..
Yes it is NORMAL to have PH fluctuations in a newly established DWC tub or bucket or any hydro res for that matter im sure..
U DONT need to PH so frequently. I asked if u where feeding ur plants because this is the KEY thats going to help u get ur RES BALANCED.
If u havent feed the res then id suggest at least 4-600 ppm or at least 1/4 strength nutes as depicted on ur Nute bottles.
Next Dont freak out.. ur going to want to Shoot for 6.0 and only PH once daily to help ur res establish its PH balance.
Over Ph'ing is going to come back on u once ur res begins to establish its own perfect balance which it is already doing all on its own once u set it up.
U will see i can promise u that.. Once u feed as described and PH once daily that ur res will become stable within 3-5 days top's GUARANTEED.
THE worst thing u can do right now IS OVERCARE for the plants and ur PH.
Let it go. It will fix itself.
As long as u follow the previous directions.
Hope that helps.
P.S I forgot i left out a very important DWC JEDI grow Knight KEY piece of information...
PH will rise if u arent feeding ENOUGH!
PH will drop if ur feeding to MUCH!
