Hello everyone how's everybody doing this evening listen I got a quick question and I'm trying to get your thoughts on a problem I was having with my pH I would set my PH to about 6.2 I come back literally a few hours later and my pH had dropped to 4.7 and steadily going down.
So in order to keep everything good to go I kept bringing the ph up I'm in my third week of flower. I searched here for quite a bit to try to see if I can find an answer and one of the articles I read they were talking about the roots breaking down and the dead matter lowering pH I am running to dwc buckets both separate and individual of each other.
My roots look pretty decent nice and white I am using a root assist tea from Skunk Labs.
I think I found the problem you guys tell me what you guys think if you look at the picture I have included my dwc bucket has a three-quarter inch open close valve on the bottom of each bucket but the nipple inside the bucket goes up about 3/4 to an inch into the bucket so when I do my bucket changes I am usually leaving a little bit of water at the bottom that can't go over the valve and down to come out.As the days went by I started noticing them my water was looking more and more cloudy.
It's hard to get to my roots considering I'm using a scrog above them but I decided to separate everything so I can see what the water look like at the bottom and it was covered in tiny little pieces of roots. I've cleaned the buckets out completely so there's no water left on the bottom or no dead matter. I did a bucket change today and everything seems to be staying steady it's only been a few hours so I can't say for sure but usually by this time to pH had already dropped..
I'd love to get your thoughts on the situation guys and girls
Thanks ahead
