ph Problems
Zappdoggystarted grow question a year ago
I have always used tap water in a big bucket that I scoop from to water. I am using Root Farm phDown. The tap water is 7.6 to 8.
If I ph the bucket the ph rises again within a day.
Is it Root Farm or should I ph only the amount I need per watering?
Do other ph down's do this?

That seems to be pretty typical, I have to say... I use General Hydroponics PH-Down and the same thing happens to me if, for some reason, I don't use all the water I've pH'd... so I only pH the water I'm going to use if I'm growing in soil.... I happen to grow in DWC and it takes a couple of days, when I change out my bucket, to get the pH stablized... for me, growing the way I grow (DWC), it's all a balance between nutes and water and pH down...
Good luck!

Thank you GrowinGrannie and the other that I can't see now.
Very much appreciated.
I guess I will be doing it in small daily batch then. I could not find that information anywhere.
A big help and I bet I will use a lot less phdown now.
This is a great website and resource.
Thanks

Ph does tend to naturally rise back up. I'd be tempted to just ph down the water when your using it.

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

GHE vs GHE europeHi,
are there differences in composition between the fertilizers of these two companies?
In Europe, we have completely different product names than the ones I see here on the diares.
CAliMAGic = calmag
DIAMOND NECTAR = fulvic acid
armor si = silicate / mineral magicFeeding. Chemical composition
