Hi fellow enthusiasts,
I am having a small but very disconcerting problem. I am running an ebb and grow hydroponic setup and my reservoir ph is significantly dropping every day. Usually I have to throw in a tiny amount of pH down every day or so to regulate the steadily increasing pH, but for the last week or so the pH has been decreasing to 5.3 or so every day and I am using a relatively massive amount of pH up to counteract this. The last time I had this sort of problem the pH was increasing dramatically every day and I later found out is was due to an algal infection, but now with this huge decrease in pH I don't know what to think. Is there anyone who has experienced this? I see absolutely no stress on the plants and no funky smells from the reservoir, but this still seems very strange.
