Questions about PH

[Madtabman]

Hey guys I'm growing 4 trippy gorilla from a friends clone. I've done them before and they are bulletproof (very strong and sturdy). I'm in day 12 of flower,running autopots and CX range Nutrition. I have a 100 litre tank/res which I always work around PH 5.8. Now 2 days ago I prepared the res put in nutes and then left for 24 hours the PH in res came back at PH 6.3. So I panicked a little and put in some PH down and totally messed it up. Put my head in my hands and sighed as I'm sure you all have done before. I got motivated again and empted res and started again 24 later and back a PH 6.3. So finally my questions are. Would you even bother with trying to add PH down? And what would you guys do in this situation?

Are you using well water? Or municipal source?

That's a useful chart but autopots don't generally recirculate. His problem is in the water chemistry unless he's using them differently than I've seen in the past.

Underground aquifers change seasonally. I need to use a different amount of pH down from summer to winter for the same type and amount of nutrients.

I figured it could be helpful to show it may just be bad water or a general idea of maybe what to look for.

Thanks this very interesting. I'd never thought of that

Tap water

All water comes from a tap LMAO. Where does it come from before that? Do you have a well? Or are you connected to water provided to you by a municipality?

If you don't give us any information it's impossible to help you. Good luck
