Here they r.Ph dropped 1 point. Not giving up yet I might cut air to each bucket 10%. Is it wise to shut the air off for 12 hrs to c what happens. The buckets still get watered through a half inch feed tube. So they would still have the water fall effect
It shouldn’t harm them for 12 hours, are you using RO water or tap water?

I will try a res change and cut the air to the buckets first before I try this.
Ok your water level is falling, is your ppm falling or remaining static?

Sorry for the lack of info lol. Yes water level is falling. 7L in 24 hrs. Ppm is remaining the same
If reducing the air to your system has no effect then bump up your ppm’s.

Had the wife kill the air at 11 am almost 7 hrs later same numbers. Ph dropped from 6.2 this morning to 4.7 tonight. So tonight I will do a res change. I will cut the air to the entire system by 50%. I will also try to get 800ppm. Then try to bump the ppm up with my top ups. I will have my fist top up tomorrow morning raising my ppm little by little. Even if these plants fail its all good I have reserves lol. Lessons cost money good ones cost lots. This is exactly y I started small

It’s usually not this hard to get ph stabilized

My solo dwc buckets r very easy. I add 2or 3 drops of ph down every 3 days to each bucket to keep them at 6.0. They do stay very stable between res changes. Sometimes up to 2 weeks no problem. In the solo buckets the water level falls and the ec falls and the ph remains stable. Yet 20 feet away in flower the same water Fluctuates so much.
It’s weird, can’t quite put 2 + 2 together yet
Me either

Ya it crazy my wife thinks I have lost my mind. She caught me sniffing the root balls the other day. She looked at me like she was honestly worried lol. Needless to say I like things in my life very very balanced and my system is not lol. I will leave no stone unturned to get this right.
I’m still running it through my head
It's like an intense movie
I'm on the edge of my seat
