how do you keep up PH and nuts constant?

because my PH starts out good then goes way up to like 7.2 do you have any tricks?

help would be great
one trick is pH test and control the water first, to a proper pH, then add the nutrients. Good store bought nutes made for Hydro should be already pH safe at the proper level.

top or fim at the 4th set of leavs, well i normaly do, that will keep the hight down a bit. Basicly u can veg as long as u like but rmember wen u switch the ligts it will prob double in hight, in my experiance anyway
I flowered a Masterkush at 6 inches. That fucker has grown to 34 inches. Verticle growth is an issue I have to learn to control. Everyone says LST is the answer. I guess Scrogging is also. I am going to try smaller pots, shorter veg cycle for my next grow.

looks ok m8
i would set the fan so its level with plants just blowing upwards a bit
also i would lower the light 2 in a day until light is 30 in from canopy of the plants
wot are your ppm+ph
looking good
Is there a reason for keeping the light so high? My 400w is at about 15" and I don't feel heat/burn on my hand using the "hand" method. I thought that you lose lumens the farther away the light is.

Thanks!! Good thread. Will be watching.

Roseman said that in hydro plants dont really double their size when you turn them to 12/12. Any other hydro growers have any input?

Im glad your checkin out my thread cause not many people do. Think 15 inches is to close to the plants? I have a few new burn marks on my leaves but im not sure if its from lights or what. I want my plants to get taller cause right now their just short and stumpy and I have room for height but not at much for width.

G,

Don't try and stretch the plant...it wll do that on its own real well later on in your grow..I would suggest keeping your light as low as you can. Perhaps using CFL's instead of the HID light. I believe letting those CFL's as close to the plant as possible really helps with stretching..my 2 cents.
