Hello! I am going to be starting DWC and I know a lot of people have issues controlling the pH. Which nutrients are best for having a consistent pH?

heres a recipe ive ran for a year and a half with great results: botaincare pure blend pro grow and bloom, 15 ml per gal of either grow or bloom (1 Tbs / gal)
optional supplements: during veg 5 ml / gal of liquid karma, during flower 5 ml / gal of hydroplex
if you are wanting to go organic than skip the karma and hydroplex, if organic doesnt matter def use hydroplex, ive doubled weights under fluoros with it. its like pouring sugar on a plate then rolling ur buds through it.

DynaGro has the best pH stability of any nutrient that I've ever used.
Do you have any idea how strong that mix is? My guess is that you don't.

yeah it comes out 800-850 ppms and 5.4 ph with supplements its close to 1000ppm,
oooh freeskier another little helpful tip: try to find a 100 cc syringe at your local walmart or anywhere that has a a pharmacy. 1cc = 1ml (its a unit of measure just like there are 2.54cm to an inch) so instead of having to use measuring cups, graduated cylinders or spoons you can just suck up the amount you need, nice and clean and easy to put away.
1 teaspoon = 5 ml
1 tablespoon = 15 ml
so if recipe calls for 3 Tbs and 2 tsp it would be 3x15= 45ml, 2x5=10ml,
hope this helps

Base nutes alone, you're suggesting they run their plants at near 2.0 EC which is a waste of nutes and harmful to plants. Add the additives in their too and that explains the popcorn bud picture above. Here is some advice for you because I think you need it; run your plants at 650 ppm at the peak of flowering and you'll improve your yields. Btw, you're on the .5 conversion scale so if 650 doesn't seem like much, it actually is more than enough....
