Ph stability !?
SanderanderSstarted grow question 3 years ago
My ph goes from 5.5 to 6.5 in 12 hours. I use a drip system on clay pebbles. ( GHe Aquafarm).
If I have to adjust it every day my 1 liter of ph -/- is gone in weeks ,that can't be right, right.?
What am I missing,the bottle says "for ph stability!", I mean wtf? Diarie Help !?.😩

prepare your water 24 hours in advance to let the natural ph up drift to settle. ph it to 5.6 or 5.7. pour plenty of that water through your pebbles to buffer the pebbles to that ph. It is best to let pebbles sit in ph water for 12 hours to buffer properly. Always let your water sit for 24 hours before mixing your nutrients and bring the solution to your desired ph. Should be much more stable after.

Do a test. make up a small batch of your nute mix in a clean container...and just leave it. Test the ph each day and see what happens. If its just sitting around and not even being used on a plant, and the ph is changing daily, id look at a diff nute line, and good advice about letting water sit for 24 hrs or longer if poss if your not using filtered or RO water. Tap water is full of junk that should be given time to evaporate out if possible.
Also can try making up nute mix the day before you need it, dont ph it then, let it sit til the next day and then ph it then before use. Should also be a way to stablize it.

You need a good nutrient that buffers your ph. I use maxigro and maxibloom. I can run my reservoir for weeks with no ph adjustments

Would you try continuous drip in soil with hyper oxygenated water?Has anyone tried continuous drip with hyper oxygenated water in quality soil on recirculation? Would you ever try that? Would the oxygenated water compensate for the problem of overwatering as in DWC, but in soil? Why would you or would you not try this?Week 5

Automatic irrigationI bought a dustbin with a lid as bought a water pump, tubing, 4mm connectors and 4mm plastic sprayers that are meant to be controllable by screwing a lid.
It’s not all 4mm tubing. The flow is so weak and I can’t figure out why. The pump has a big enough flow. What a let down :(

Diamond black vs. Diamond nectar by GHEHi everyone,
I've read Diamond nectar is very good. But I noticed there is a very similar product from the same brand: diamond black.
I was wondering what's the difference, and which one would be the best in an indoor grow in coco with high frequency fertigation.

currently i got a 25L bucket with a submersible water pump that pushes the water. but this is not really a reliable solution.. ideas?
