Why do you guys even bother taking the PH of your RO before adding nutes? I fill my reservoir with RO, add nutes, and it is usually 6.0 ph by itself. If I need to adjust it then I do.

Well we dont, but when I stuck my meter in to watch Ec as I filled my res, I noticed that it would not give me a ph reading so I thought My batteries were going bad. But just as soon as I added Si, and Calmag, it started showing a ph... I finely figured out how much Si to add in the beginning to equal out the nutes which are acidic.. my ph will come in 5.7 to 5.9 with no adjustment..

I had this happen to me on my last run of Chemdog #4, it happened after about week 6 of 9 weeks total. Had to start adding ph up instead of ph down, doesn't sound like it was as severe as what you are describing though.. I was following cch2o's nutrient chart and realized that i was using a 10 week strain on an 8 week guide and i started dropping the nutrient ppm like 2 weeks to soon, i think thats why that happened to me.

Rep told me not to add silica.
No adverse effects for you?

You won't find RO water in nature. It isn't stable. Not good for plants. Not good to drink. It is an ingredient for hydro to which other ingredients must be added.

Turns out he wasn't full of shit. I contacted CC and they responded to this.

No problem man. Well at least now there is a little FYI to whoever is having any bio film and is running silica.
Silica is a potential problem.
If there has been no issue for you than right on!


Has anybody here experimented with some MOAB and or Floralicious Plus while using the Cs nutes?
