luvfriday: A whole bottle of ph up in a couple of weeks? I've got the opposite problem. My well water comes out at around 8.1, but I use GH's ph down. (phosphoric acid) I got a gallon a couple of years ago, and still have 1/2 gallon left, and use it for my houseplants, too.
When was the last time you calibrated or checked the accuracy of your meter?

Any chance of getting that link from ya? I'd love to find out how to do a half-assed job, with inadequate lighting and no nutes, yet still have a smokable result. How was your next grow?
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . The PH battle I am almost nearing the end of my first grow, last night I couldnā??t sleep thinking do I want to do this again? Well NO, but no one should expect perfection so Ill give it another try. . . I have battled low PH from day 1. If I set it at 6.5, in 24 hours its under 6.0. Double check by using the meter and the drops it plunges. So I used the entire bottle of PH UP in just over 9 weeks and I opted 3 nights ago to use Baking Soda to raise the PH.
