ok fantastic, looking online now for phosphoric
ok fantastic, looking online now for phosphoric
its actually quite funny, I purchased the ph down because it states underneath the brand (leaders in hydroponics) so I assumed it was good to go in hydro, turns out its actually quite bad! ha
thanks allot mate, I have been thinking, trying, thinking, trying, you get the hang of it, for a few weeks now, hopefully it now gets sorted.Also the hardness is a touch low so if you have trouble maintaining stability just let me know but the phosphoric acid should pretty much eliminate your issues
Which nutrients are you using? Lower light intensity means less demand maybe part of itthanks allot mate, I have been thinking, trying, thinking, trying, you get the hang of it, for a few weeks now, hopefully it now gets sorted.
Only other question though aqua if you can be bothered,
My last reservoir change my water climbed and stopped at 7.6, after four or so days it was 7.9, EC started at 1.3 and lowered with the ph rise (a good thing right?) at 1.1EC I topped up the res with some nutrients which lowered the ph to 7.6 and raised the EC to 1.3. the next day I raised EC to 1.4, day after 1.5. Plants have responded well to increased nutrients, growth and colour, I am a bit behind the feeding schedule as I was afraid of overdoing it with nutrients initially, as I am getting a little bit of confidence and getting used to NFT I decided to higher it closer to where they should be.
why? why am I having plants with no curled leaves, no yellowing tips, poor colouring, no growth? how can I have a ph of up to 8.0 and have flat happy leaves, growth, green, no leaf discolouration?
maybe this is an easy answer, but its got me stuffed!

cheers mate, can't wait for the shop to open, going to get some different phosphoric ph down shortly. might flush the system for an hour before adding new solutionI use citric acid for pH down because it's cheap. Media is peat. It works fine in peat. My pH rises gradually over the grow, but I don't get leaf defects. Starts at 6. Finishes at 7.5. Feeding at 5.5 pH.
It is not recommended for hydro tho. Good thing peat isn't hydro.
