I took the jump to powdered nutes I have been using Yara Kristalon Brown and Yara Calcinit
Since switching from bottled nutes i've had the whole system PH dropping from 6.5 > 4.5 in 2 days this has been ongoing throughout flower and I've tried everything (it was fine in veg until about week 2 floweer)
- Adding more P and K with MKP and pottasium sulfate
- Switching to nitric acid for PH down
-Running much less calcinit in comparison to kristalon
So far nothing has worked and it's a real headache, before with the top off resevoir I was able to keep a nice steady PH, but now even with a top of res of 6.9 PH and plants drinking large amounts the system ph will still drop super quick. The PPM stays pretty stable and doesn't rise or lower much at all. My tap water has a hardness of 275ppm it worked well with hard water nutrients from the bottle but always felt there was room for improvement, but these PH issues are driving me crazy
Any idea where I could be going wrong here?
