hey budlove

yea i got all that other stuff just currently got the soil grow going but will be starting this one (i'm using the 1 gallon buckets)

just got it all setup and running the 10 gallon tote is working just fine i have it set to flood every 4 hrs

i started out with tap water my tap water is ph'd around 8.5 where i live

i added some ph down (this stuff gets expensive a friend was like use pool ph up and down but i don't think that would b ne good ne suggestions on the matter)

and after the 2nd cycle it was down to 6 - 6.5

after the 3rd cycle it was going back up about 7 - 7.5

any ideas why this might be happening

i rinsed the hydroton really well b4 starting

well thanks guys hope to hear something lol
