This week I thought my plants had a root problem but it was wind burn 🤣. I corrected the problem by not pointing the fans directly onto the plants. I left for 4 days and everything looked good when I came home but for once my PH level went down to 4.5 which I found odd because it was always the opposite. I trimmed all the big leaves that were blocking the light and the ones that had minor mold on them. While I was gone for 4 days I had some friends from another country that are visiting stay at my place. They turned off the AC because it was cold for them but when I got home it was 79° and 60% humidity in my house which didn't help my plants stat cool or dry. Therefore I got some mold on the leaves. It seems to be okay now. Stay High ✌️🏽

PablosFarmstarted grow question 5 years ago
Why would my PH level jump from 5.6-5.8 to 7+ in a 24 hour period? I leave for 2 days every weekend so no one to tend to my plants. I don't want to deal with a lock out.

Couple of reason: i) reservoir too small, so any small change in solution concentration will greatly impact the pH. This will happen as the plant takes water and nutrients in different ratios than what you put in the reservoir. Since probably you can't increase the reservoir size, you could try to buffer the pH: put both pH up and down so to stabilize the pH against said changes.

@Wicked_Stix, Thanks man. I am actually excited for the water change then with RO water. I did you tap for this first water batch. I have to systems in my tent a RDWC and DWC 3 bubble buckets. The RDWC is cloudy but I think part of it was I didn't rinse my clay stones good enough. I will throw some HP in there for the time being before I do my water change. Thanks for the info✌️🏽

@PablosFarm, it is never a good idea to pH up and pH down the same batch of nutrients. If all 3 of them are rising at the same rate then it is something in your water and nutrients. The ro water should help, but a lot of different nutrients don't play well together especially in dwc. I have tried most the popular nutrients over the years and general hydroponics maxi nutrients hold stable for weeks in a healthy system. I have fluctuations if I mix anything with it. If you have cloudy water then something funky is probably growing in your system and a couple tsp of 3% hydrogen peroxide will clear that up. Best of luck with the rest of your grow.

What hydro kit is that? I think I want to upgrade to hydro next.

@StoneyNugs, I agree with PablosFarm that it's easy to build something. See my DIY for example which can be customised to suit... growdiaries.com/diaries/31812

@StoneyNugs, it is made by Viagrow I bought it off amazon. I think it would be easy to make though. I bought different hoses from home depot because I wanted to setup the buckets a certain way and I didn't want my res in the grow tent. My water stays nice and cool without the res in the grow tent. I like it so far.

i have a very similar garden to yours except no res just all independent bubble buckets and i was using tap water at first and it stunted my plants horribly i switched over to distilled water and i dont even have to adjust ph anymore just add nutes... im a newbie but this is for sure a problem ive had and fixed with neutral pHd water

@bloomerang, I am thinking switch to RO will help. I did too use tap water. Thanks for the info✌️🏽
