Soo... I'm still having problems, my pH has been rising constantly and I've tried to balance it out and it just kept on for a few days. So then I decided to do full rez changed... and clean out my rez AGAIN just in case I left any algae. I added my 5 gallons of about 7.9 ph water then mixed my other gal up with 1/4 dose micro & grow. Tested the pH of that and adjusted it down to like 4.2 4.4 something like that and then added it. Tested my pH and it was 6.4 which I though was good enough so I left it. 6 hours later checked it and it was up 7.5! There is nothing going in my rez but my feeder tubes, waterpump, NEW airstone (soaked for about 5 hours in pH balanced water), and my 1/4 micro & grow nutes. I thoroughly cleaned my hydroton at the begin of the grow ummm, I poured hydroton peroxide thru my rockwool and hydroton due to algae problems, then poured just reg water thru it. Idk wat is causing my pH to just KEEP on rising.

Any help appreciated :thanks:

PS. But my plants do look MUCH better than before despite the pH spikes

No, peroxide is water by now. What! - 4.2-4.4 pH...Slap yourself....hard! pH your water down to around 6.0, THEN add nutes, then wait an hr until everything settles down again and pH again. NOTE> Ph does fluctuate as plants eat and excrete waste. Just keep it between 5.5 - 6.5 and dont chase it.
 
So they look ok .. So 3 & 4 thats normal see the one that sprouted at the level of the rock wool .. How close should i have the lights I have them now at about 12 inches i did have em at about 2 inches but looked like it was not letting them go upward ...I raised it to 12 now is this ok I am useing now 4 26 watt 65 k cfl`s at 100 watts each and 2 26 watt 27 k bulbs is this too much ?????

?????? Cause my first bubble grow was bad . I learned what I did wrong And Fixed it.. First issue I had was Light getting in the tub once the algae grew I could not get rid of it..and was adjusting the Ph every 4 or 5 hours so I kind of screwed it up not knowing it was algae ..

Even with this new grow I blocked all light / and still had an algae issue with greyish looking water and snotty looking bubbles at water level on the sides of the tank after about 4 days . It was no the light this time or water temps they are at 63 degrees . Seems after exactley 4 days the water turned. Can not figure it out ..

So now I just add 3/4 cup of peroxide to 8 gallons of water every 4 to 5 days and the water seems to be ok thus far . Glad I cought it before the roots hit the water . So far water is ok still can not figure out why the 6 pot gets that nasty shit going while the DWC does not have any of those issues as the Bubble system does .. Thanks for your input


And MR SMOKE your stuff is looking real good hope mine looks as good as yours LOL thankyou::thanks::thanks::thanks::thanks::bongrip::bongrip::ganjamon::bong::rollit:
 
Hey, if anyone in interested, tonight's full moon is the brightest (about 14% wider and 30% brighter) than the average moon of the year. This is due to the elipitical orbit of the moon, this is the nearest the moon will come to the Earth, called perigee. This year perigee has coincided with the full moon here in January.

And as a bonus Mars is the bright reddish orange object just to the left of the moon.

Hope you didn't mine this little departure from our typical favorite hobby!
