Oh and sink water is a no-no. Out front of most grocery stores there is a glacier water dispenser or something similiar that you can fill 5 gal jugs for $1.25. Reverse osmosis filtered distilled water. Works like a charm.

Hey bro, i JUST literally had this SAME issue! Since then, i havent had to adjust my ph at all! RINSE THE ROCKWOOL AND MEDIUM WITH PHD FILTERED WATER! It literally fixed my problem immediately! Hope it works out!

Thanks for all the help folks. Great news, after soaking my rockwool in clean water my ph has stabilized and my girls are doing great!

Thanks for you help. I'm going to soak it all right now, considering I never have.

From my research, some say yes and some say no! Very confusing! What do the professionals think?? I screwed up my nutes in the beginning so I think I'm recovering from nute lock!... Or at least trying!

I did on my flush yesterday. Set pH. Today, pushing 7. I! Thinking about rinsing my rockwool to see if the shit nutes got flushed from it.

I couldn't agree more. I feel keeping it simple is the best way. But my plants are struggling coming out of this possible lockout so I'm stretching for ideas! They're not HORRIBLE looking yet but its steady getting worse. Also with my crazy pH fluctuations, its not looking good.

Could you tell me a little more about your setup. Im not finding much about it online. Im hoping to get thus corrected before my plants die from improper solutions if not pure shock of being.fucked with so much! Thanks

Ill check out the sulfur and citric for sure. Do you think it has anything to do with my hydroton balls? I rinsed them well but no soak, even though they never even.touch the water?

Update: cleaned my res, added my floraduo a and b and 50% dose of liquid karma then phd my tank. Last night at 9 pm my ph was 5.5. This morning and 830 am my ph is 6.8! WTF IS GOING ON!?!

I dont know the alkalinity but im flushing tonight with alhambra filtered drinking water and seeing where that goes.

Thanks for the advice bud. Can I dechlorinate then just throw my plants back in our do I have to wait.

Churchhaze: its phosphoric acid based....... Bad news huh. Do you have any recommendations on a better pH down???

Hey thanks for all the responses. I flush weekly with sink water that comes out with a ph of 8.5. I useGeneral hydropincs pH DOWN (Orange bottle). I dont see anywhere on the bottle what its base is. As for nutes, i use gh floraduo a and b. I have a 10 gal res and my grow medium is mother earth...

Im running a bubbleponics/dwc system, 3 plants, cfl grow. Im trying to keep my ph between 5.8 and 6.5. I get the ph to 5.8 and the very next day, same time its pushing 6.5+!! I just dont get it. I feel like im drowning my plants with phDOWN. Any help is appreciated!

I kind of did the samd thing with mine, but i cut the stem COMPLETELY putting a paper plate around it. Suprisingly, it lived due to the ONE fan leaf it had still attached and is now the most healthy plant in the crop. I think youll be fine. You may want to double up on the light though. I had 2...

Could be too much nutes. I use floraduo a and b (somewhat similar) and the general hydro website feeding chart uses WAY smaller doses.... something like 7.5ml per gal of A and 2.5ml per gal of B.
