Hey man, as @wildeweed said you will constantly battle with pH and issues with your plants unless you get some nutrients that have good buffering capability. General hydroponics maxigro and maxibloom are the answer to your issues. It's cheap and it will hold your pH steady. The situation you are in now having to knock your pH back down all the time is stressful for the plants. The roots don't like constant fluctuation up and down. You can rotate frozen water bottles to keep it cool, but that won't actually change your pH. pH readings increase as temps drop but it is still technically the same. Just give the maxi nutrients a shot and it will make your life a lot easier.

You need to drain both buckets, flush the plants with some biocare clearex or sledgehammer, and start fresh. If your pH was a 7.1 you need to get everything perfect ASAP. Start fresh and clean, and get the ph 5.8 stable and check it every few hours for the first day. Just my opinion though. Good luck!

@Matahierbas, Not a problem. You got one of the best groups of people on here. They’ve saved my ass more times than I can count. Lol. Losing expensive nutrients suck, but I’d rather waste nutes than kill a plant ya know.

You will not keep a steady pH no matter what you do man. It’s a constant struggle. I couldn’t settle mine down until greenmachine put me on to maxigro and maxibloom. Water bottles frozen will help keep the temp down. But the pH will screw you fast if you can’t get it in check.

I defoliate my autos any time they need it. You’ll stunt growth for a short bit, but they recover fast regardless of grow medium.

She does look sad I think it's a pH imbalance. But all good learning as I go.
