Growing 4 plants in DWC with 25 gal R/O water in reservoir. Air temp 75 degrees water temp 67 degrees Humidity 41% in late bloom. Using AN Sensi Grow and the full line of AN neuts. I mixed A+B at 60%, the additives I mixed according to AN neut calculator. After mixing Sensi Bloom A+B my ph with r/o water was 5.6, PPM. With the 700 scale PPM was 1390. At 0800 hours next AM my PPM was 1710 and my PH was 6.0. I am using a BlueLab guardian monitor which is new and calibrated. I added R/O water to full line in Reservoir and PH came down to 5.9 and PPM dropped to 1570 after adding 7.5 liters of R/O water to bring down PPM and PH. I have a water chiller with a recirculating pump, no slime, roots are healthy. I have a large air pump with 7 air stones, one at each pot and 3 in the center of the res lots of O2 in system. Before adding new neutrent I ran a air stone in mix for about 30 min before adding to res so I must assume that my mixture was thoroughly mixed.
My question is: Is this normal for PH and PPM to fluctuate this much in 24 hours. Why did my PH and PPM fluctuate so dramatically? Is this fluctuation normal?
