I was running low on hydroton, so I added in a bag of mother earth hydropebbles. Basically the same as normal round hydroton, but darker. Washed as usual with 8.0 pH tap water. Then soaked and sterilized with a strong h2o2 tap water solution. About 40 days in, and the pH is still diving. Upping pH with everything from Dyna Gro Protekt to pH up.
I've never had this problem with hydroton (4 years I've used it) Also, there is no root rot/other root issues. I've read various storing/cat ion issues with hydroton, but this problem seems to be brand related. Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced pH diving with this brand.
