First time with molasses.
Problem come in 24 hours after making and bubbling ---the ph is way off.
So I make it:
Molasses
Touch of cane sugar
Floranova bloom.
Ph is 6.4 without any adjustments.
Ph down added to 5.8
24 hours later ph is 4.3
Is that normal? Did I not add enough oxygen?
Is it the organic matter in the floranova interacting with sugars?
Would pure hydro nutes fix this?
I can't have a swing like that happen inside my coco.
Are there normal swings in ph with molasses, like with most other nutes (slow rise in ph after inital adjustment to 5.8, the greatest swing being in first 24 hours)
Thanks
Ps. I think general hydroponics calls it voodoo juice. What I'm trying to make pretty much.
