How do i avoid this issue?

Notacrimeyostarted grow question 3y ago

Hello growers, I'm new to hydro, how do i avoid all of this crazy foam forming (it tends to come ouuta the bucket for about 30min, then it disappears). Is my ph down solution bad? Also, it tends to fluctuate from ph6.0 to 7++ in a couple of hrs. Why? Thanks.

Na that’s not normal, not that I’ve ever seen. And those fluctuations aren’t good either. You don’t maintain a diary so we have no information beyond the couple sentences these questions allow you to input. 🤷‍♂️

I bet you have some clean ass roots😂 maybe get some nutes that automaticly change the ph and another tip. Mix your solution in some big clean jerrycans an hour or so before adding it

You are getting a chemical reaction. Use a phosphorus ph down. Don't mix brands of chemicals.

Will nutes degrade if left in the sun for a week?Nutes- If I mix up a gallon batch (fox farm grow big and big bloom) but only use half of that gallon, can I save the rest for the next feeding, which might be a week later? Also, is it ok if the jug is left outside where it will get sun, or will this ruin the nutrients?
