Looks like Canna needs to do their home work about the UC......it's a clue with the "carbonate buffer" reference, given it seems it's turning out to be excessive calmag usage with H&G that's causing the pH to be driven up.
Both Canna Aqua and Aqua Flakes are formulated not to need additional cal/mag supps....so it looks as though the presence of excess cal could be the culprit.
What's odd is that Canna Aqua seems to stay stable in the UC, contrary to Canna's presumption otherwise?

I use minimal Cal mag with H&G..maybe 1-2ml per gal. in veg. and no more than 3-5ml. per gal. in flower...Very healthy....The general concensus from most people who use H&G is that you need a little cal mag....but you can use 25% tap water and this works as well....Peace
Are you using a water culture system?
I can't agree that all hydro is the same bro.....though it's clear you are experienced with recommending nutes, if you've not run water culture than you should refrain from offering up specific recommendations for UC growers.
It may seem strange to someone who's not used the UC to believe that's it's different from other hydro methods but it is.....which is why these discussions are important. Water culture is still a new art/science.....and the UC is even newer.
Kinda figured you'd not used the UC based on your input so far. No disrespect intended to you, just be thoughtful when offering advice on something you've little to no experience with running.
I ran the Green Tree's Multi Flow (Blue Buckets) system for a couple years about a 15 years ago......awesome system, Vince is a cool guy and a true hydro innovator IMO
Operates differently than a UC for sure though.....you can get away with a lot more nutrient hocus pocus in a system like the Multi Flow.
as far as pH stability, i have not found this to be the case. I used Advanced, GH, botanicare PBP, and DM. And my H&G not only is outperforming those for me, but it is way more stable and clean, requiring less than 5% as much scrub and clean work as PBP. I've been extremely happy with these nutrients, and if you shop around they are really cheap, i bought 20 liters of A&B for 153$, and 500ml of excel(they're most expensive product by far treats 500 gal) for 96$. Not to mention they are far more concentrated than any other of the nutrients i have tried and cheaper per bottle with better more stable and cleaner res and either i'm getting alot better of they bumped my yield by 30%!! over my PBP run and 13% on my last run with advanced using a fucking retarded amount of additives. Thanks H&G you guys are gonna be in my garden for many years. peace farmers
