I need second opinion PLEASE!

First off this is my first grow in hydro so any additional tips would be appreciated. So I called a rep at cutting edge solutions about a ph problem Im having. I had just mixed my nutes and my ph is at 3.7! He told me his

plants do great with this ph...... he said it was because of the mag amp additive Im using which is the same product line. I have not fed them yet because this goes against everything Ive learned thus far. Im using RO water starting

off at 20 ppm at 68 degrees. After I added my nutes Im at 720ppm. Im really tempted to add ph up but I don't want to cut my throat. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO! I just transplanted my plants into 5 gall buckets. before

that I was hand watering with a ppm of 5.3 in 1 gallon pots and everything is good so far.

Hes a idiot. I never heard or anything with ph 3.7....

I didn't want to say that but I haven't either!

Id definatly use some ph up to get the right ph, ph is cruicial for the uptake of nutrients and if your outside the proper range it can seriously hurt ur plants

 

[Skylander]

Exactly! Too acidic and will burn my roots. I think me and my girls are stress enough. My damn dog knocked all my plants off a table right before transplant so Im just pissed! They seem to be holding on and some are worst then others but I think they will pull through!

So I raised my ph to 5.0 anticipating a natural rise after they began to feed. Does that sound reasonable.

I'm not sure, I grow in coco which is soil less so you treat it like hydro from what I've been told. I use 5.8 ph
