You know it happened very quickly and as soon as I took notice I drained and refilled my rez I've PhD it down to around 5 aND added base nutes again around 500 ppm it's a good thought on calibrating my meter Its been at least 18 months

No I PhD after I added they do say that gh has buffers to bring your pH down but It usually takes 50 to 100 ml pH down to bring it to around 5 tap is 7.5 here

Wow i only use like 5 mils per five gal?

Mine doesnt really have any buffer it stays 7.5 after i mix.

Sounds like your not phing properly and are running way acidic?

Cause when i ran gh it only took 5 ml for five gal

Your phing your water to 5?
Then adding nutes?

Does your nutes raise ph?

Very much so :)

5.8-6.3 for hydro

Higher for dirt

Start at 5.8 as the plant feeds it should drift up to 6.3 then too off or dump the res and re ph

Right on hope so easy fix stuff happens probably a lack of tlc on my part as experience has taught me so far I've learned in veg less better I do believe I was watering to often 15 min on the hour as well where I would usually water 30 min ever 2 or 3 hours

When I asked when you last calibrated your PH meter I thought it could be off causing the obvious PH issues. But if you're Ph'ing to 5.0 that's a problem. I always shoot for 6.0.
