PH problem

[diesel707]

The PH in my ez-clone keeps climbing to 8.0 and idk why. I add EJ PH down and by the next day its back to 8.0. This isnt the first time this has happened to me

did you try hitting it? lol
my guess would be either its something in your cloner or its a prob with ur water

you using tap? let a sample sit next to the turbo cloner and see if the same thing happens. if this is the prob just start buying water

any hyrdroton in there? if it didnt get flushed good it will shoot your ph

 

[diesel707]

I'm using filtered well water. I don't know what hydroton is. Should i be using it?

 

[mastacheeser]

just a growing medium that some people use to stop light leaks
the clay in it causes ur ph to rise, but if ur not using it no biggy

whats the ppm of ur water? if its too low it wont be ph stable

 

[diesel707]

I'm not sure of the PPM i need to get a tester. Can anyone suggest a good one.

try this

I had the same problem and found that the rockwool will boost your PH also. Make sure you adjust it before you use it.
