it shouldnt be rising
since I started using all gh
when I set my ph to 5.9
it stays there
if ph is rising that means you have something in your res eating nutes

only have that circ pump run once every few hours also
so adding back in your case maybe not

but I am running 20gal
so when I get down to 2 gal and add back 18 it dilutes everything enough that adding back silica is no problem
My ph doesn't climb but I do get some settlement on the bottom even with my waterfall going. I think it's the B vitamin supplement B-52. Whenever I'm in there before a feeding I just mix it around. Other than possibly clogging lines can this be a problem? My ph is stable and using the ph perfect probably helps that

And onther thjing, how bad is it to interupt the night hrs in veg? If i want to get in there and do a ph reading, can I shock the plants in veg?
I've tried to read a lot about it and from what I'm gathering it's not a problem. I rarely but occasionally go in during veg. Not sure if it affects in anyway. I would imagine if you interrupt it enough that it's not getting 3-4 straight hours at least then you might as well be 24 hr light but I personally don't think it will affect it

I stop doing that about a week before flip and I changed from 20-4 to 18-6 for a week. That's just my own personal thing that makes me feel better. I'm letting them know "winter is coming". Hahah

Ok good info...
I do run 15 mins every hr on circulation.
But the real good info here, is that I can add silca back with out causing lock out if my res is less than 5% from full..
That Is good to know, because I plan to run a 55 gal res on my Rdwc, and this time instead of having it just top off with plain ro, im gonna start using the res to guide my ec, and ph...
I found last time on my 4 bucket system, that DID NOT have auto top off, that once i put it at 1.5 it could drink over half the bucket and stay really really close in Ec, and Ph..
I learned a lot from that! Sweet spots/before fli[p/after flip, etc about how plants feed..
Instead of buying a $1000 ec/ph controller, I think I can control it myself, the same way I did that system..I can always change the ph , and the ec in the res to guide me. And I will just use your method to keep res going. I change out, at flip...
Every week I will just shut the valve off to the epicenter, and drain system, turn valve back on and exact same nutrient profile goes right back in, unless i make a change before turning the valve on....

No I agree. I do try to avoid it. Just knowin a lot of people run 24-0 means it's not absolutely necessary. But if someone decides the hormonal change in the 6 hours dark is benificial I would imagine it will definitely affect it. Noticeably? I dunno. Need more experience with controlled tests. Lol

Ive toyed in my mind with diff thoughts to deal with trellis...
I think instead of doing 1 net 4x8, im gonna just use 2 4x4

Ya I thought about multiple nets (when there is more plants not this run) but I decided Since I want the canopy even the multiple nets would be at the exact same level anyway. I'm thinking of better ways of adjusting where my pot sits so shorter plants are sitting higher to even out the canopy. After stretch I will adjust them accordingly and leave them

News today in San Fran,,,,
We had to spend some of your tax money :(

San Francisco will pay $190K to an illegal immigrant following wrongful detainment
the Cucks and Snowflakes love "Virtue Signaling" with other peoples money

how can someone be illegally detained if.....their very presence is illegal
if anything that person should be paying the city back for forcing the public to pay for their detainment

you know

illegals are a double edged sword

my wife as well as her fam were illegal at one point
came here in the early 80's
then amnesty by Ronnie
where I live
probably 70%illegal
all work in the fields
all work 12-14hours a day
6 days a week
no health ins
no bennies
and they have to obtain an illegal SS which means they have tax stripped from their pay so that the owners dont get in trouble

if it werent for them

the 60% white/black welfare recipients aint gonna get off their asses to go work them fields

the problem I see is

and dont get me wrong
I would be considered "New Right"
but one of the things I think that the right has wrong is immigration

Yes I agree with Travel Ban
No I do NOT agree with open borders

however

for all these illegal workers
I dont think they should be "Illegal Workers"
we should have a program as to where they get a workers # and register in a gov program that tracks them and tracks which company's they work for
forcing the company to pay them benefits such as on sight ins etc and also pay them above ground at least minimum wage
the problem with illegal workers isnt the workers its the company's that hire them

but see both Republican and Democrats own those companys and/or own stock in those companys or parent companys

so IMO
if there are jobs that Americans dont want to do and Mexicans/central/south Americans do....put them in a program

and I can attest to the fact that it is widely falsely reported that illegals get welfare....they dont
they dont get shit
everyone in my town that gets welfare is White and Black
the Mexicans all have jobs....field/factory/cooling houses/cut flower.......gardening
while the Whites and Blacks sit on their asses and complain how society owes them something
and how the GOV needs to help them and not the "illegals" even though the "illegals are the ones making my tiny town run


just like say if there was no cannabis industry up in the Emerald Triangle there wouldnt be any economy there and nobody would live there

second point

if somebody commits a crime and are arrested and found to be "illegal"
the country of which they are from should be charged for every day they spend in an American Prison/Jail
after the sentence they should be sent back from which they came

sorry for the rant.....
JMO
and some of this has been weighing on my mind lately

I dont believe in Santuary cities
I think if we start focusing inwards towards helping the people that live in this country now
and stop focusing globally at all the other countries
we will do much better

you know how people say "you need to work on your inner self"
well
the people and states and cities etc are our inner self
and we have neglected that for a long time
