Hi all.

When i follow the Canna nutrient guide to mix nutrients I end up with an extremely acidic reservoir.

For example: water is 6.5 PH but this has dropped as low as 3.5 after nutrient dose is added.

I could then use PH Up to bring the PH level to an acceptable level or I could reduce the nutrients.

If I reduce nutrients there is less available to the plant for use but then being a newbee I don't know whether PH Up/Down should be used like this to prevent lock out versus varying my nutrient doseage to control PH.

Thanks.
