word, dont forget the bigger the plant the more water they drink so the p.h. changes at differant times i use n.f.t. tanks and i check p.h. morning and night and depending on how much water they drink the p.h. is differant each night
xxxhazexxx Reviewed by xxxhazexxx on . Nutrient Strength pH Balance Relationship? I just saw this on another site and since I hadn't heard this before, wanted to run it by some of you - whatcha think? "There are a couple factors that cause your PH to drift. The most common is running the nute solution too strong or too weak. If it's too strong, your PH drops. If it's too weak the PH rises. You have to find the balance point." Rating: 5
