just checked the PH in my res and its way down which has never been an issue. Can I use spa ph up till I get to the shop tomorrow or do I need to be concerned for one day?
 
You should be fine. That is if your PH has only been low for a while....It takes quite a few days for ph issues to really take hold and fuck up your plants. I know, low batteries in my PH pen caused me to kill a God Bud plant 3 weeks from harvest. Took about 5 days till I realized the problem by than the damage was done. If you make a trip to the hydro store your top priority tomorrow, you should be fine. If you tap water is higher in PH, add some extra straight tap water to your rez......
 
I added a teaspoon but will get to store tomorrow and buy some PH up. I then I'll give this hydro setup some serious thought...lol. Its getting kinda stressful...lol. Dirt seemed a whole lot easier IMO. Thanks!
 
photo.JPGI get it I just can't keep it....lol. The PH is up, then its down, then its up again, maybe I am checking to much. If I dont check it wont change right lol. Anyways I drain and refilled the res. today and will add nutes again for the third time in two weeks. I did order a better meter today so that might help, its a hanna. I do have a pile to learn I guess, I'll keep reading. The girls do seem happy as they are now double the size of the pic and they were planted on sept 23th. It is basically a flood and drain system I built for $120. I'm not sure about pump schedule though, I have it turn on every 30min and it fills to about 1.5" below top. Should it be a longer off time?
