Water problems still making me crazy PH PLUNGES, and no real pattern or obvious reason why.
Now if you tell me that's a pic of you too I'll start to lose it. Where are you again in Cali?

Anyway, the pH plunging sounds to me like you don't have the right balance of nutes for your plant yet. So the plants are drinking lots of water and less nutes and that's why your pH is not aligned.

Try this: take a reading of your EC (ppm) everyday. Does it go up, down, or stay the same?

If it's going up, it's a little strong for your plants, if it goes down, its a little weak. If it stays the same pretty much, then you have a good balance.

Do that and report back.
herbie the love bud Reviewed by herbie the love bud on . Directions on hydroponic nutes I just did a bucket of nutes, and with only 2 gallons of distilled water and the appropriate nutes I test the water 2 hours later in the bucket still and my numbers are half of what they should be. My nutes say the PPM should be between 1000-1200 and I am only measuring 520ppm? Any idea why its not where the range should be and since its 3 part and a supplement of golden nectar do I just add more of all nutrients or some of certain ones or not? I want to be at the PPM per the Rating: 5
