Ph question
Newbie87started grow question 3y ago
When you buy spring water, how can the company say it's a certain pH if temperature affects this ?
I'm struggling to understand how temperature affects water so much.
Does the heat make ph rise or fall ?

Inversely related. So, temp goes up, pH goes down. increased H+ activity, therefore more hydronium formed on average in any 1 snapshot of time.

Also I'm using spring water which is 0.0 EC, should I always use calmag to raise it up to 0.6 EC before adding nutes?Week 2

Minor compost tea - how long will it keepI have a 5 gal bucket of dechlorinated water, ph 6.5 and ppm 300. Watering seedlings to the bucket is going to last a while until empty. I wasn’t thinking when I made it up. How long will this be okay to water with? I have bubblers in it and keep it covered.4y ago

Will excessively aerating and circulation change the PH?I have a reservoir which holds my nutrients until they need to be used. Recently I had added in a pump for circulation in addition to my air stone. Since then my solution has been rising to over 7 within a few hours. I adjust back down and it goes back up again?
