Alright, my pH has been jacked up the past couple of days, it gets up to like 7.2 in my DWC setup, I have probably 25 gallons in the reservoir and I'll add like 40 mL of distilled white vinegar and get the pH down to like a 6.4 or 6.5 level, yeah I know you're not supposed to have it move so much, I got nute lockout going so I'd rather have a big pH swing then just slowly let the plants die off... I got my the pH down to like 6.2-6.4 earlier today and I just checked it and it's up to like 7.2 again.... Is it an ongoing battle using distilled vinegar all the time??? Is pH down a more permanent fix?? I'm probably going to go to the hydro shop and get pH down tmw but if this is just an ongoing deal I'm going to say fuck hydro and go to soil cuz it's a pain in the ass....
