For me, RO water = more stable PH.

Half RO half tap water is another method.

(My tap is good and under 150ppm. But the PH and tds can vary randomly. Driving me nuts until I realized it was fluctuating)
One last question if you dont mind. How do you manage cleaning your res, feed line, and halos? What products? Let me know how you do it

By hand. Break it down, soak manifolds in vinegar. Blast hot water thru manifolds and lines.

Wipe down each res when empty.

When I use nute supplements like Recharge, it's a separate bucket and hand feed the bishes. That chit makes a mess of everything. Lol

For what it's worth, I've just recently decided to probably just replace any tubing under 1/2" (dripper tubing) each run, if I go drip style. It's not worth the risk and too hard to clean and make sure it's all clean.
Do you use'em? Which ones? Can I see?
Debating pc drip emitters or spray stakes. Probably rockwool, maybe coco in the future.
