Thanks you guys for all the replies. Sorry for the late response.

The reservoir has been upped to 40 gal. Hopefully all goes well and the PH doesn't plummet like before!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The nutrient regiment is going to be switched over to :

1=ml

Week 1-4

45-175-350/PH 5.5(is ph 5.5 good for this stage?)

Week 5-8

0-175-350/PH 5.4-5.8 going up .1 every week

Reservoir will be topped off with 4ml of CalMag+/ top off water will be 5.8 PH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The nutrient mixture is for a 35 gallon res but from past experience with nutrients, less is more. Do you guys think that this will cause nutrient deficiency? Nutrient burn is scary

Thanks again :thumbsup:

Low PH problem First time poster, Long time lingerer :p These problems have been occurring for a long time and I have never found a solution so the plants have suffered for some years. :( Right now there are some plants growing in a homemade tube system almost exactly like pictured below. The ingredients consist of PVC fence posts, PVC pipes for the manifold, plastic reservoir, PVC glue to hold the manifold together, Plumbing grade rubber tubing to connect the Rubbermaid top-off reservoir, a pump, Rating: 5
