i buy 1cc needle-less syringes by the 100 pack on ebay. a bit easier to measure out accurately. once you get used to the new ph dwon/up, you can almost guess how much to add to get your pH in range.
Correct. Simple way to help this is to make sure you swirl the water in a circle just before you drop the pH down. The constant movement of water helps prevent precipitation. Ya always feel bad when you see a cloudiness as you drip the pH down. That's all ya stuff falling out of solution
I was not liking the swings with RO so I started to use tap water or a mix of 70% RO 30% tap. the alkalinity/hardness will keep it much more stable. For the tap water I use a hot tub garden hose filter or i bypass the RO Membrane and just use the water that comes from the sediment/charcoal filters.
Ive been uaing a 50\50 mix of high ppm tap (450) and rainwater bringing it to around 225 adding canna coco nute and cal mag.. i ihd it down to 6 1 and it was above 7.2 the next day..so i phd it down again and its nack up again but i also only did a small batch 2g and not in my actual 25 g res so idk if that could play a part or not needing some insight being my seedlings jus broke ground and will be going automoated here soon
