hey guys i'm running a flow and drain type of set up. My issues is that the ph lvls are off after 24 hours. I set it at 5.8-6.0 then 24 hours later it drops down to 4.9-5.3. the water temp is 76 (no cooler yet) water doesnt look milky or smell funny either, and the plants are still growing strong. What can be the issue? I just dumped the water 2 days ago.

Checked the EC level to see if the plants where using more nutrients ?
or even more water than normal due to temperature rise ?
These both can effect Ph level...

well i'm using a ppm meter... the water it self sits a 28 ppm.. with nuits 70.. its been 2 and it is sitting at 56 water is at 77.2 ph.
When I left this morning I adjusted the PH to 5.8 and the nutrients at 68.. I just checked it and the PH is at 5.3... nutrients at 60.. is it normal to drop that much??
I'm thinking of adding a few teaspoons of hydrogen proxide to my water to see if that fixes anything..
your thoughts??
