Ph is rising, can't seem to stabilize

ROFLMAO - Look at the bright side. You now know much more about mixing nutes than you did earlier today.

...damn, you put almost 1/4 bottle of calmag in there. That's just too funny.

OK - enough laughing at your expense.

PC :smokin:

So I am about to go pick up 5 more gallons of R/O water and then drain 5 gallons from my res, then pour the straight R/O water in there and see how much it dilutes. From there I will balance the ph and then add a bit more nutes, like 50-100 ppm.

Sound good?

EDIT: God, I can't stop laughing at myself. My girlfriend is never going to let this down. I need some medicine, feel a migraine coming on.:stoned:

Sounds good to me as long as you end up with 50/50 mix of each....equalling about 400 (i wouldn't go above that for now..) Your plants will thank you for being so dedicated....no joke.....like PC said....here's one you won't do again.....

[Weedhound]

Ps....ALWAYS balance ph last.....last thing is ph....mix all your nutes first....then adjust ph right before you add it to your rez.

Weedhound - Thanks for the replies, the local water store is closer than the local 711, so it's all good I am going to do as you said and add in 500 ppm of ProGrow, then dilute it down to 400 total. After that I will ph adjust. Finally, I am going to foilar feed with some Pure Blend Pro Grow at 7ml/gal.

How does this sound? I hope my girls will appreciate the work I've been putting into this, although it's all my fault for any yield sufferings :P

[Weedhound]

ha ha....I think once you start seeing some growth from those puppies you'll forget all about this day and be as proud as punch.

My main reason for loving hydro is that it is SO consistent that you can practically set your clock by it. Watch ph, watch nute numbers, etc....your plants will start growing like gangbusters...:thumbsup:

You have plenty of time to get things dialed in and I seriously doubt issues now ....if taken care of ....will have an effect on the plant's yield later.....but I honestly know very little about clones so I could be wrong there.

Good news!

ppm is down to 400, 200 ppm of calmag and 200 ppm of progrow!

ph was just lowered to 5.5 from 5.8.

I am super medicated and just had the police knock on my dooor about a noise complaint. He thought we were having a party; We were just playing Rockband on the Xbox! haha soo Anyways I am going to bed and i just switched the light starting the 6 hours of sleep.

G'night all!

[Weedhound]

Sounds good.....except the police part.....(hey....maybe they grow and would have some advice...)

update when you can so we can keep an eye on how they are doing.

[cmasfca]

Good morning all, I woke up and immediately checked the my ph meter and it was at 6.1, so I lowered it down to 5.5. The ph is still 400 with canopy temps of 75 degrees and humidity at 45%. If you think the girls would be showing signs of improving already I will take a quick picture for you guys, otherwise I'll wait until at least tomorrow to compare. Patience is a virtue, right? haha

Would it be worth it to set an alarm every two or three hours during the night so I can keep the ph right around 5.5?

[Weedhound]

if you keep your ph between 5.6-6.2 (5.5 is ok) then no worries. Anything in that range is good for you plants. I would give them a good 24 hours with correct ph (so far...you have correct ph :thumbsup and then you should start to see some changes.. We loves pics so please.....slap them up here.
