Water issues

[RugDr]

You are using cali/mag in addition to the GH tri with ro water, right ?

I agree with Fat beaver ..could be that there isn't enough of a canopy for a light leak? Or ? I dunno, I just dropped a bean and fought with my ph for about 24 hours , could be the dirty bucket , could be light , who knows ...stable 3 days in now thou

It's a weed ...pretty hard to kill ..you will get there

Cal/Mag is supposed to arrive any day along with z7 and amor SI. I've added a little tap water to get by for cal/mag, Still just a single seedling with roots int he water. i'm on a well so i don't have worry about chlorine, etc. I also ordered some z7 and silica.

I find my pH is most temperamental early on in the growth cycle and becomes more stable as the plant grows. I'm not sure why. Probably due to nutrient strength and more nutes to buffer the pH.

i was thinking the same thing, i probably wont need to do as much when my nute loads are higher to help buffer ph. the mix is so diluted right now.

I quit chasing/checking pH after a few grows with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect. Found out it didn't matter as long as I changed the reservoir every 7-10 days, or when the plant has consumed the amount of water I started the fresh reservoir with. Some grows I get plants drinking 4 to 6 qts a day so the reservoir gets refreshed every 3 or 4 days.
