Hi All, I'm involved in my second grow, I have back ups for all my testing equipment. I'm noticing a drop in PH every day, I bring it up to 5.5 and in the morning it's under 5. I didn't notice this type of fluctuation during my first grow. I'm 2 weeks into 12/12 and my plants look fine. If anyone has any input please respond. Thanks CD
Morning to All, My plants are looking good I have a few reaching 4 feet, I've pinched a few over and put up my Scrog Screen at 4 feet. I'm using some extra garage shelving. I'm also noticing a fluctuation with the PH. I keep a minimum of 10 Gallons of fluids in the reservoir I keep it around 5.5 and in the Morning it’s down to 4.4 or4 .5 at which time I bring it back up. I didn’t notice this type of swing the last grow. Same Nuits same everything but 8 plants up from 4 females. Here are a few pics of my lovely garden!!
Yes, I'm growing in Coco 80% and Perlite 20% It seems as though my plants are doing OK, I try to keep the PH over 5 and under 6 at all times. I only used distilled water and Liquid Earth organic Nuits at 60 degrees F and change fluids every 7th day. CD
you really should have it a little higher....I found 6.2 was optimum growing conditions....if the plants are doing well and not turning color or drooping, I wouldn't worry too much but try and up those ph levels just a bit and maintain them....fluctuation isn't good for the plants.
Can really help ya not a hydro man. if it was a one off ph drop then would'nt worry to much unless it keeps happening. You've just started blooming so maybe a change in food and plants.
Hi Again, I change the fluids every 7 days, I used distilled water all the time. I notice as the fluids get older, the more the fluctuation. I keep it as cool as possible 61 F in the tank. My plants look fantastic and are doing fine. Nothing ever goes back to the tank. once it's out it's gone. It's like a drip system from the bottom. CD
