Hi guys,
I haven't been on for ages, unfortunately I haven't been able to have my tent up for a year due to circumstances but it's back up and running! I have moved to a different area now and have different water, it's soft water now with a very low ec, around 0.1 and pH is around 7.2 but when I add food now it goes down to about 5.1! I've never needed to raise ph before, only lower it. Is this OK this is happening? The pH was the same at my last address just ec was higher at about 0.7or8 and the pH would only drop to about 6.8. I'm using Buddhas tree food and mixing it to about ec 1.2.
Do I need to be concerned about such a big drop in ph after adding nutes? Do I just raise it and feed them? It is worrying me a little.
Any help or opinions would be great please guys.
Hope you all have a great winter/Christmas
