Drop in pH..but good growth...????

I wonder if shaking the bottle of pH up (or down) would make a difference? Or perhaps age of the bottle and it's contents has a part in it too. Like I said though, I used to only have increases in pH, not decreases.

I would imagine age of the product can affect ph down, since the acid percentage is so low it breaks down over time. I used to have this problem with acid for my pool after winter. But it would make it weaker, needing more to bring it down.

wonder if pH up does the same

Changed rez, hit target ppm at 1550. I trimmed some lower fan leaves, starting to get a bit congested down there.

switching to 12/12. sit down, strap in, and hold on!!!!!



28 days from seed, 24 days of 18/6. So easy!!!!!

Hmm that doesn't sound right, from what I know a healthy nute mix will go up over time...the only time you should need PH up is if you over do the PH down. I bet Zandor or LW knows though...also could confirm what I stated.

Zandor has posted recently that undernuting could cause PH drop too. But he's at around 1500 so that seems unlikely provided everything is calibrated.

I sure couldnt figure out why mine just drops, but it does. I havent used any PH Down since I changed to RO water. With my plain tap water, I had to down it like crazy though.

I'm sorry you guys but I am stuck on those bloom nutes. When I mixed up the grow nutes the ph naturally went to 5.7...never had to adjust it before I put new stuff in. With the pro-bloom when I mix the ph stands at 4.6 until I adjust it up with baking soda before I add it to the rez. I am willing to swear to this in court, lol:D I have found this grow that the ph will drop a little the first day then start to go up slowly. I also could not keep my ph down with well water which is why I switched to RO.

7 days of 12/12 after 28 days of 18/6 32 days from seed

I have done a lot of trimming to keep things under control such as lower fan leaves, lower side branches, and I topped the tallest plant to keep her low as the others catch up. I grow from seed so it's not unusual for me to get two or three different size or shape plants. I'm a little surprised that I have three different size/shape plants with this strain however, as Easy Bud from Femaleseeds.nl is said to be very stabile. All I really need from the three plants is 5 or six of each plants best kolas to rise to the top and I will have a canopy full of donkey dicks. THe rest is all gravy.

One thing about RO water, it has like ZERO buffering, so it can shoot all over the place. Try throwing in say 1/2 gal tap water for every 5 gal of RO water. That shouldn't hurt anything, but tap water is usually buffered pretty well. Just let it sit overnight to get out the chlorine, or boil it first.
