ph climbing

[so high guy]

:mad0233:I have a producer with a 14gallon/ 56liter rez .I ph my nutes at 5.6 and over night its at 6.0 6.2 . They are small right now ,roots arent touching the water yet no root rot .All that they are gatting is dutch master silica o-o-2 . What is causeing this rise need to get this worked out asap.

 

[ttystikk]

a lot of people don't use the silica because it messes with pH.

 

[Budshoteyes]

Just correct the ph and keep using the silica!
Everything fucks with ph!!!

Is the ph rise something that just happens the once or is it continuos every day?....if it is continuos do take ttystikk's advice.

Check it daily!

you should monitor your ppms as well. see what they are doing in relationship to your ph.

it is normal for your pH to swing a bit, i have to beat mine back down every day or two. bucketcleaner is right check your ppm's too your pH is probably swinging because the plants arent fully utilizing the nutes yet. also, what are you using for pest/algae control? algae growth in your rez can mess your pH.

tbh, we need more info about your grow. like they say, everything messes with your pH.
