I actually have several questions....

Did you adjust the ph when you put it into the system.....you said it was at 8.....did you adjust it to 6.0 or so before you added it? Then it went back to 8 in the system? Or was it just 8 all the way through?

A side questiion....what germination technique are you guys going to use?

PS....I hate hydroton.....for the reason Rhizome just mentioned
Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on . Suuuuuper High pH!! Finally, my friend has his set up ready to go; all temps within range, E&F working with no leaks, timers working, etc. But he tested the pH with a liquid test kit (its all the hydro shop had in stock besides $120 testers) and it read over 8.0. We waited a couple hours for it to run through a pump cycle once or twice and measured again and it still said 8.0+. Why is the pH so high and what should he do about it? He is ready to germinate the seeds but doesn't want to put them into the system Rating: 5
