Your nutrients may be precipitating out of solution after that long of time. I add my nutes to tap water and wait 20 minutes to check…. No longer, chemical reactions take place. Be sure you are adding one nutrient at a time in the bucket of water, don’t add the nutes directly to one another THEN dump it into your water.Hello so I recently was using ro water and my ph would stay perfect once I set it to my correct ph. Now I switched to a tall boy dechlorinator instead of ro water. My water ppm is 130. When I fill my resivor and add nutes then correct my ph to 5.7 a few hours later it will go back up to 6.1 then I ph down it again to 5.7 a few hours later at 6-6.1 again. I am using advanced nutrients ph down. Any ideas on what to do? Never had this problem with ro water. Only dechlorinated tap water
I know Bluelab Ph pens specifically state NOT to use RO water with them.Hello so I recently was using ro water and my ph would stay perfect once I set it to my correct ph.

Hey so the air stone is gonna be good for putting air into the water which in turn evaporates more, try using a small pump to stir the water not put air in it.Hello so I recently was using ro water and my ph would stay perfect once I set it to my correct ph.

Run your air stone for an hr and then take that out as it only takes about and hr to dechlorinate your water then put a small pump in to continue mixing nutrientsFirst, try a declorinator. You probably have Chlorine in your tap water and it does this. Years ago I moved, and i was having this very issue. The de chlorinator was suggested to me and it worked perfectly. It’s cheap and goes a long way.
Let's not start disinformation. They are saying it's hard to measure pH in RO water, not that you shouldn't use their pens.I know Bluelab Ph pens specifically state NOT to use RO water with them.
Maybe your Ph pen could be the same hence the differences in readings?
Arrrgh just read your post again please ignore my comment.
