Thank You Brother Psuagro!!!You Know As I Look Back On My First Grow In 20 Years.Damn How Worried I Was And Fretted Over The Ladies At Every Turn Just Makes Me Laugh.Hell Hydro Is Easy As Long As You Take A Simple Approach.I Also Find Myself Reverting Back To Running Higher Light Heights.I Dont Buy Into Running 1000 Watt Air Cooled Hoods 8-12 Inches From The Canopy.Yes I Know It Will Give Ya A Tighted Bud And Bigger Yield.But IMHO It Sacrafices Bud Quality IMHO

Can't wait for my tent to get empty so I can get growing my scrog.
Right On Brother Puffenuff.That Is A Simplified Version Of What I Read This Weekend.My pH Is Now Stable And I Have A Couple Of Theories As Why This Happen.If Im Correct My pH Should Take A Dive Around Saturday.Right Now It's A Wait And See Situation.
Brother Psuagro I Buy My R/O Water From The Local Supermarkets And I Always Check It Before Mixxing.Yes My Airstone Is Clean.Im very Anal About Sterlizating Everything.
Brother Txchilies Were You Using Led's for Your DWC Grow??Interesting how you are having a pH issue, I know the time I ran DWC it was the opposite for me and I was having to use pH down. The other thing was TDS was climbing because of the lack of water as she was drinking it up like crazy. She is looking nice and lush and those buds are filling in nice.
Thank You Brother Txchilies.This Confirms My Belife In The Sunny Day Vs the Cloudy Day Senerio.I Was Actually Think It Was Lack Of Heat Causing The pH To Be Lower In Flower But Brother Puffs Post Explains It Better With The Cloudy Vs Sunny Day Effect.
Right On Brother Endur0xX.Thank You For The Compliments.I Do My Best To Stay On Top Of Things In My Grow Tent.Now I Can report that Saturday Came and Went With My pH Is Now Stable And Rising.Like They Should Be At This Stage Of Flower.pH As I Type 6.19 With A Res Change Comming Tomorrow.now After I Ruled Out All The Normal Res Failures That Could Cause My Drastic pH Drop.I Started Re-Examining My Nute Program's And How I Was Mixing And What Was Different Between My 2 Nute Programs Why Was the Dutch Master Nutes Affected And The Flora Nova Bloom Program Was Not Affected?The 1st Ovious Answer Was My DM Program Was A 2 Part Mix And My Flora Nova Bloom Is A 1 Part.Now My Best Research Found That 2 Part Mixes Use 2 Different Nitrogen Compounds And 1 Part Mixes Uses the Same 2 Compounds But with pH Bufferes To Control Drastic pH Swings Along With Keeping The pH Blanced So the Optium Nute Uptake Can Take Place.Now When Using A 2 Part Mix With The Add Back Program Im Running Which Is R/O Water And Add27 Flower Ppm 125 pH 5.85(No Nutes).Now With Slow Drinking Strains The Res Changes Can Stretch Out To 7-8 Days Causing the Ppm To Drop.At This Stage Of Flower Sally's Cousin The Autoflower(400 CMH) Was Drinking 1 to 1 1/2 Gallon Of Addback Daily.Sally Was Drinking Between 7-9 Cups Daily.When Running This Type Of Program And The Ppm In Mid To Late Flower Drops By Over Half Of the Orginal Nute Stregth You Run The Risk of Ammonium Nitrate Locking Out All Other Minreals.Causing A Massive Overload Of Ammonium In Your Root System.Now Get this when this Happen Our Beloved Plant Starts Flushing Herself Of The Excess Ammonium Build Up Causing A Drastic pH Drop.At the Time of My Problem My Ppm Had Droped To 457 From the Original Streght Of 1075.Now I Started Looking At Why Sally Wasnt Drinking As Much As She Should.1 Difference Was The Heat Of This Grow Vs My Others And Oviously The CMH Puts Out More Heat Than My Led And Combined With What I Found Out How Our Plants React In Sunny Vs Cloudy Conditions.This Could Be Causing The Lower Nute Uptake And I Was Planning On Changing The Way I Run my Addback Program But I Sit Hear And Its saturday.with my Last res Change On Tuesday And My Ppm's are 695 And pH Is 6.19 And Shes starting To Drink More And More.I Also Started Looking At How I Brewed Applyed And Stored My Tea.I Found Out That My Tea Sitll needs Oxygen To Stay Alive Even When Stored In The fridge.So Your Supposed To Store Your Tea Uncapped To Prevent The Bactria From Dying Off.I Have Been Storing My Tea Capped In The Fridge For About A Year With No Problems.Im Now Storing Uncapped.Ok With All that Said I Still Dont Know What Cause My Problem And Sally Is Rocking Hard.Peace And Im No Scientist But I Did Stay At A Holiday Inn Express Last Night
