ph Problems
Zappdoggystarted grow question 2 years 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.

What Ph should I water my Autos at? Considering this substrate and the previous problems I had with it ?I grow in this substrate, is it considered soil or coco ? What Ph should I water it at ? Had loads of problems in first grow with nutes due to over feeding which lowered my run off Ph to 4.7 and gave me problems. This time I will go slow with those but at what Ph? 🙏

Proper Mix SequenceFor nutrients some say to add cal mag after silica sits and bonds but before base nutes and others say to add after base nutes SMH so much misinformation makes it hard for new growers😅 I know mixing sequence matters. I just don't know which is correct.Week 3

Has anyone tried Ethephon containing products such as Florel?I am gonna spray my hermies with this stuff that has Ethephon in it. Hopefully itll deter my herms from making pollen. I was wondering if anyone on here has it and if its effective for them? I'm only gonna try one or two at a time in case it hurts them. They're just herms anyways

Why is my PH possessed?Why is my PH refusing to go down from 9s to 6 unless I quadruple the normal amount of apple cider vinegar to 12ml? Normally 3ml does the job. This week, ml somehow doesn't move the needle. The EC is a little higher, could that be it? The RO is normal starting at 8, this week 10+Week 6
