PH falling caused by dilution /hydro

Maskedcucumber
Maskedcucumberstarted grow question 3 years ago
I noticed that when I dilute my soup too much with osmosis water in order to lower EC, PH starts falling eventually, even when my soup is a few days old (I have an air pump, it always goes up). Does it mean I have to make a new tank in that case ? why is that happening? Thanks!

when I use an air stone in my water tank I also notice my PH goes up. If I don't aerate, I only need 3-4 drops to bring it down to 6.5, if I aerate I need 8-9 drops per 4L of 85% phosphoric acid. I did a little test of it on my one grow, the link below is to the image of the results. its by no means perfect, and only used just over 1L of tap. growdiaries.com/diaries/129773-grow-journal-by-m0use/week/704902 I would bubble the water for 40min with PH adjustment before adding into the tank to help avoid any unnecessary ph fluctuations But I don't know if that works for you. Can try it out and see how well it works for yea. Good Luck!

If your ph drops it's almost always a nutrient issue. Some nutrients dont play well together in hydro. I had this issue when I used open sesame and cha ching from fox farm. The beastie blooms runs stable but the other 2 make the ph steadily drop.
