PH keep rising in DWS, RO water?
LiberFelixstarted grow question 3 years ago
I use tap water (soft water), Canna Vega A/B and related products, with rockwool.
PH is stable around 7.2 - 7.5. I PH down to 5,5 and 6-12 hours later its back up. This is my second rund and had the same problem then.
Could reverse osmosis water help this, or other advices?

I also use tap water, when you PH it its best to let it sit overnight or aerate it. this will help even out the ph range and keep it more stable.
for my tap water I need to add in 9 drops of phosphoric acid and bubble for 2hrs to get to stable to 6.7.
if I do not bubble/aerate it. 4 drops gets me down to 6.5 but it does not stay there for long.
Every city/towns tap water will be slightly different got to experiment whats best for you.
Also RO water would take the waiting time out of it. its just a lot of extra money if you don't have a system installed yet.
Good Luck!

Bad ph water, it bounces like a pogo stickMy city water supply sucks. The ph rises and falls in such a wide range that it is difficult to keep up to what it needs to level out the ph. I have seen 5.8 up to 8.9 just in the last month.
Is there a cheaper method than using the standard PH down?Week 8

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycleSo Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle.

Water uptake slowed considerably. D83 DWC Auto.Water uptake has slowed considerably this last week. From what I understand this is expected as she finishes her life cycle. Should I continue res changes at full strength or lower the nute ratio to match her uptake? Trichs are still clear/cloudy with little amber.
