Anyone ever mixed sulfuric acid and h202? Shit will disolve justbabout anything organic down to just carbon and water...hotdogs just disappear
Yes it’s very caustic. Ph in excess of 12.Isn't lye caustic? Like high ph?
4 is about as acidic as juice.
mentions of lye, and now mixing sulfuric acid and h2o2... we breaking bad or what? lolAnyone ever mixed sulfuric acid and h202? Shit will disolve justbabout anything organic down to just carbon and water...hotdogs just disappear

Sorry, I saw the probe sitting in a solo cup and wondered if that would be a concern for longer term storage of the probe and diverted the topic. Sorry to the OP.mentions of lye, and now mixing sulfuric acid and h2o2... we breaking bad or what? lol
Yeah you should.I thought people let the probe sit with liquid in the cap?
Yes, the good probes have a nice rubber seal on the cap to help with thatI thought people let the probe sit with liquid in the cap?
See I find it odd, after I use my pen I shake it once and rub it on my shirt and cap it lol and I’ve had no problems and test it on different solutions a lot always close “” and it’s a cheap 10$ pen from China the instruction no joke no English lol.Yes, the good probes have a nice rubber seal on the cap to help with that
step 3. why check ph and adjust to 6.5?Here's my rez routine, I use the same GH nutes as you. Workin for me so far but always happy to hear from guys like @Aqua Man to fine tune my technique
I have fountain style aeration so my rez is always mixing.
1. Fill it up and add h2o2 and then silica.
2. Let that mix for 10 min while I roll one up
3. Check Ph and lower to 6.5
4. Add cal mag..puff 2 min
5. Add micro...puff 2 min
6. Add grow..puff 2 min
7. Add bloom...put out joint
8. Add diamond nectar and whatever else like floralicious
9. Check ph and adjust to 5.8...done
Takes me about 20-30 min start to finish. I will double check ph periodically to monitor drift and throw some h2o2 in there. I'm drain to waste so rez ppm never changes.
The silica is so alkaline it will really shoot up the ph and cause precipitation issues when you add the calmag etc. At least this is my belief from what I've learned here at the Farm. Especially from @Aqua Manstep 3. why check ph and adjust to 6.5?
100% bro...The silica is so alkaline it will really shoot up the ph and cause precipitation issues when you add the calmag etc. At least this is my belief from what I've learned here at the Farm. Especially from @Aqua Man
You must ph down after adding silica as the ph will be well over 9 and sometime as high over 12. As @Grownsince95 stated if you don't you WILL get precipitate. This is why its added first then ph adjusted. Unless your want the res to look like a snow globe of unavailable nutrientsstep 3. why check ph and adjust to 6.5?
That or the silica could gel up I’ve had that happen when I didn’t mix correctly one time and my 1ml dropper gelled up and that shit is hard to get out! Lol100% bro...

got ya, i don't use any of that stuff and was just wondering why ph adjust right after silica. i guess my learning will continue on new years.100% bro...
