Hello Everyone,
I’ve been having major pH down swings recently. I run a DWC with tap water and the GH 3 part series. My plants are currently in late veg but for the past month have been having major problems with my pH dropping quickly. I haven’t really had this problem before and have about 4 grows under my belt. At first, I assumed I was overfeeding so I cut my nutes from 3/5 to 2/5 and still have been seeing problems with pH drop (as well as other deficiencies now). After doing some minor research and remembering my days using RO water, I added some CalMag to a new solution at 3/5 and haven’t seen any downward pH swings yet. Does CalMag act as some sort of buffer? Can anyone please explain this to me or educate me on why i’m experiencing this problem? Thank you!!
