Does foxfarm have some type of stabalizer that trys to keep the PH of the water around 5.5? I accidently added too much PH down and had to move it up one point to about 6.3.. Well long story short... it took ALOT of convincing.. like 30 drops of GH ph up... Is this an effect caused by foxfarm thinking it should be around 5.5 for soil or is this just because it takes alot of PH up when useing foxfarm products ( Big grow, Big bloom)

ya fox farm grow will lower your ph, so you dont need the usual ph down, When mixing it with water put the Fox farm in first or other nutes then adjust ph.

Is this for a soil grow or hydro? I know that fox farm does have the tendency to lower ph either way. I was just curious because I didn't understand the comment about putting the ff nutes in first. if you're talking about soil, then I get it. (adding the ff to the water, check ph, then add the ph + or - then water like normal.

GH PH UP isnt nearly as strong as their ph down. It probably doesnt have too much to do with FF nutes. I actually dont even ph my nute solution anymore when I use FF, and my plants are actually doing better because of it. My ph pen was fucked up for two weeks and I was incorrectly ph'ing the water and plants were getting ph spotting. Now that has stopped since I quit trying to PH.
