420’s 3 White Widow & A Do-Si-Dos Hydro F&D 600W MH 1000W HPS Grow

Yeh the tap water stabalized eventually. I bubble mine 2 days before to vent off chlorine and balance the ph. Once I do this the res ph barley changes once I add nutes and some bacteria for the roots. It takes a while for the equation to balance during the exchange from cO2 to O2 that causes the ph to rise.

Hiya West!
Looking good! That's about the best you're gonna get the damaged leaves. As long as the new sets are verdant then you've fixed the issue!

The ph took the high road over night , meant to check them before the lights were off.
It only does this the first 24 hours then it stabilized.

You're using RO correct? Is there a reason why? From what I understand when the pH is constantly rising it's water related. Normal tap water has lots of minerals in it and makes the pH more stable. I don't know first hand, just something I've seen in the odd video here and there. You probably know more on this than I do but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Yes to the ro water my city water is crazy and sucks . 400 ppm plus 8.3 ph . @InTheShed and I already tried and it was a battle.

I’ve got Verizon phone and internet as usual it dropped to 3G and it compares to att dialup was why it took 35 minutes to get the word out !

Okay five hours later the ph for the tent ,

Yeh the tap water stabalized eventually. I bubble mine 2 days before to vent off chlorine and balance the ph.

Wished I could run city water , tried twice actually. Didn’t learn till I did it again , if I ph down it would keep on going down or if I added ph up it would keep rising till it was out of site !
out in the building now the 20 gallon reservoir is stable at 5.7 not going to touch . Both dwc took to 5.9 added 1 mL acid now both are 5.5 I guess we’ll see in the morning. Thanks Reave

Looking great west!

Looking great west!

Thanks Silverfox125, I wished my dwc was as cooperative. When you have a set of roots that take up a gallon and a half in four gallons of water and nutrients. When it drinks that much water and 90+ ppm in one night it changes the ph , makes it too high !

 

[Reave]

bigger res I guess

 

[West Hippie]

bigger res I guess

Bigger reservoir plus there little trikes feeding in it not a big mama WW. I’m gonna take a pic of the roots when I check them this morning!

Big mama WW .
The other thing I put her on 12/12 last night !
The water level only drops 1/4 gallon .
The tds dropped 119 ppm on the Hanna scale.
The ph rose to 6.1, dropped to 5.6 . Got the spoon wet with acid and brought it down slowly. I had my back up bucket tied up . I just put fresh Z7 in yesterday don’t want the acid to kill it .

I must have it right now the girls are growing!

The ph is far more stable in a 20 gallon reservoir verses a five gallon bucket that you can only put in 4 gallons of water and nutrients!

Mama WW did it again , hungry gal . Seems like every day I have to bring the ph down ! Was back to 6.1 ph this morning. Adjusted back to 5.7 . She actually took down 106 ppm in nutrients again . Down 1/2 gallon of water plus the ph rise . So for the chart Falling water Falling EC and Rising Ph .
That’s 426 ppm in nutrients used since the water and nutrients change .
