pH... what does this look like

You could try that. But I can't say for sure it will work because I don't use Botanicare. Not sure how much it would lower your PH. Friday isn't that far away so you could just wait until then. But make sure you get yourself some PH down

ya no food will ballance that it wont need any ph. and the no ph from advanced would onlky work if you had his water source id think. water is the main effect on how the ph reacts.

since your in hydro and microbs arent as important as soil then use baking soda to raise ph. or cheepo at most home depot or canadian tire type stores has potassium bi-carbonate, the pool ph crystals. its natural to..or is supposed to be.
