I do look for bug first grow very clean room and no bugs found not a one and I use a mic 30x the test kit is for water PH the left is after I ph and the right is tap water.

Never nut into a water bottle. cn

By the sound of it, you have either lockout or an overfert situation going on. Jmo.

You want to PH after adding the nutes. But even then the PH will change as water sits. 30 gal is alot of water for one feeding unless you have a nice big grow!

no just a few plants I thought it would be nice too just have the water I get the chlorine out and I do test before I water . its just that after I test I add my Nut's then water

so this is what th4e PH looks like with Ph'ed water with Nutrients.. and im very concerned since I cant get it too line up with any of my color codes high or low

You need a meter... those tests aren't that accurate.... And you always pH after the nutes right before you give the water or nute-solution to the plants. The longer it sits/bubbles the more it changes-- ask ANYONE that does hydro!!!!!!

You won't need more than a few gallons at a time. They only need to sit for a day or so. Mix up a gallon at a time, ph it, and useit immediately. Watch what happens to the PH of the 30 gal in a couple days.

I had three plants going and at their peak I went through a gallon a day on average. I keep about five gallons sitting around for a good rotation I ran into problems because I wasn't PHing at all and subsequently tested stuff out to understand it better.

Just saw you are using Fox Farms. They brought my PH way down from where the water was on its own. And do get a meter, it makes life so much easier!
