Counter to what alot of people believe, a change in the ph from what you put in to what you get out is a good thing. We need a certian amount of "ph shift" to allow all the nutrients to be available to the plant, since the max uptake of each, N P K, is different at different PH's. (Hope I'm not being too confusing here).
wow, your in a good mood today:jointsmile: lol. thanks man that was a good post i never thought of it that way and thats a good point. see my nutes i use auto buffer my PH so i have never had to worry about the ph thing, i always thought the auto ph buffer thing was bs but i have never had any problems with ph so i guess it works. ive cheched my run off and its always been fine. now i have heard during to last stages of riping plants want a differnt ph range do u know if thats true? i just tried that sunshine#4 mix this grow and i like it alot. thanks for the good feed back. how about we call it truths and put all of this bs behind us:thumbsup:
