m0useanswered grow question 3 years ago I'm not overly familiar with auto pots but this is a little snip it from the web.
When the plant consumes these acidic nutrients, the natural reaction is a rise in pH. This means it is normal for your reservoir to have a natural pH up-swing. It is much more desirable than your pH dropping, which would indicate you have too much nutrient in your solution.
I've also read if your microbe life is high they also cause PH to rise.
