Rising ph level?
Our tap water comes to us at a ph level of right around 9.0 with 20 ppm of tsd. I use PH Down to lower it to about 5.8 using a calibrated digital meter. I store it in an opaque, 3 gallon container, placed in the grow room. I was trying to get my plants run-off to be around 6.0, so i was checking the water before i used it. It seems to have gone up over a full point in about a week. The room has a 1,000 watt mh in it now. I was wondering if the PH Down is light sensitive? Anyone ever noticed anything like this before? It seems like the container holding the ph adjusted water and Sensi-Grow is staying alot closer to the 5.8 I set it at.:wtf:
