House & Garden pH Question

Hey, i use House & Garden , the complete line , i am currently doing hydro with rock wool, water - to - waste with drip lines with a 45 gal res. And i am experiencing some daily fluctuations with the pH levels which I want to know are normal.

I use Reverse Osmosis, i add Cal Mag [150 ppms] back into the water, then i add Aqua Flakes A & B and then pH the water. Usually its about 4.1 so i pH up to 5.5 - 5.8. I then add the supplements which take the pH up to 6.1 - 6.6. Finally, i pH down to 5.5 - 5.8 and im done.

The next day the pH goes up to about 6.2 , should i bring it down everyday or just let be? And are the fluctuations normal
?


Thanks Everyone :]

thanks buddy :]

When mixing your nutes, why do you need to pH it twice? Looks like you bring it down to 4.1 with nutes then pH up, then add more nutes that bring the pH up and then pH down, doesn't make sense to me. Mix your nutes, THEN pH and check it in a few hours to see if it's stable.

i pH twice because after i add my base, the pH drops to 4.3... i bring the pH up to 5.5 - 5.8 so when i add the supplements they enter the water at a safe environment. Then after i add everything the pH goes to 6.5 so i bring it back down to 5.5 - 5.8.
