whats the rez???Hey ct. My tapwater is very good, comes out ph7 and 42ppm. When I add floranova nutes the ph drops and I need mucho ph up to sort it out. Not sure why you would need ph down, might be worth checking the ph of your water before you add anything.
The ph will fluctuate a lot in the rez. When you water at say ph6, if the food is acidic like I think it is then the water ph will rise every time the plant takes up food because it removes some of that acidity. The plant also dumps. It isn't possible to eat without shitting and that also affects water ph and is why you should change out the rez now and then.
Your pen is prolly not too bad it's just these factors that are making such a difference to the readings. Just try to use rez topups bring it back in line as often as you can.
The rez is the reservoir which holds the roots and water. For DWC the roots hang in the water. You mix your nutes into the water which the roots sit in. You have to change and clean the rez water frequently or mold, mildew, and root rot will begin. Hydro uses different nutes than soil, normally. Hydro/dwc is harder as far as maintenance and upkeep, but it has its pros too, I mean look at CT's crazy PC case plant.whats the rez???

appreciate it, have you personally grew a batch yet?no problem!! i seen you keep asking CT, but he must still be moving. figured I would tell you what I could. you may want to go out and find a hydro or dwc how to thread for some expert advice, that is if CT doesnt show up before you begin.
word man let me knowbeautiful!! for a PC, and DWC, just beautiful!! i am thinking of maybe trying the DWC, maybe in a 1 quart or 2 quart tupperware dish. im thinking, wait for it...
don't really have a set feeding schedule just kinda give her a full strength dose of nutes then water with that gallon jug til i run out then do the same with ph'd water untin that gallos is used up the i start it again. seems to be working out alrighthow do you feed them and what?
dont feed nutes for like the first week and a half seedling can't handle it.any word on when your supposed to start adding nutes my seed just hatched, i dont have a cam ri now i sold my phone lol so yeah.
