That sucks. I use it with my well water once I set the ph it stays close for a while. My well water is around 200 ppm as well. What sort of hydro were you doing? Mine is a 55 gal res connected to 27 gal tubs.Megacrop was a bust for me. Using it in hydro with 220 ppm tap water had me chasing a high ph all the way through. The girls didn't like the high ph and showed me some nice yellow leaves before they started dropping leaves. I guess if I kept up with the ph and got used to putting ph down in every 1 or 2 days I could get a decent crop. The Floranova and Dynagro that is growing right beside them look great and the ph stays stable. The lazy part of me says ditch the megacrap. It would probably work much better in RO water or soilless mediums. I will use it on my outdoor crop next summer. I think this is the first time in 30 years that I actually had a rising ph. It must have some kind of buffers in it for RO water or container growing. It works but it ain't easy for me.
Also when I use it in soil I don’t ph it at all and it works well.
Hopefully it works better for you this spring outdoors.
