Hey Leather, couple things to consider1)the plastic your res is made of. Some types of recycled plastics have adverse effects on plants by releasing toxic sweat, at least that's how I understand it. Another thing, is your res completely light proof? and what kind of nutes you using? Also tap water or Reverse Osmosis?

I get that when my res isnt mixed through enough, after adding your nutes take your time and realy mix the sollution wile adding ph down to get the desired level and keep mixing. To mantain my PH of 5.7 is prity easy after the first setting, i check the PH daily but 99% of the time theres no need as it only ever goes up .1 to .3 every 3 days. Lots of stiring and mixing on you fresh sollution should help.
