Mixed everything per the instructions, and my ph is at 7.7. I adjusted my ph down to around 6.2 last night, and when I checked a few minutes ago, it's back to 7.7 again. I'm getting allot of yellowing on one of my girls. Any advice?

No advice but I wanted to tell you that I've heard this more than one time over the years but at least you found out what it was, a lot of people just mix it and never check it and can't figure out what the hell is wrong with their plants, good luckMixed everything per the instructions, and my ph is at 7.7.

normally your right jim,also lack of drainage will build salt up causing the ph to swing also,but lack of info leads to wrong advice at times,i just asume he growing in soilWhat medium are you growing in? It sounds like too much buffering or possibly lime that is raising your ph. Are you using calmag or anything else?
have you checked your tap water ph and ppm? heat in the room will swing the mix too,sounds like clorine or clorimine might be in it with that kind of swingRdwc system, ph 7.7 tap, hydroton.
Ppm is a little bit high out of the tap you may want to consider mixing 50/50 with RO or just using RO. If I remember right I believe ph perfect was designed to be used with pure RO water.Water is 7.8 and 270 ppm out the tap. After sitting, the ppm's settle at 207. Water temp is 72f, and cab temp is 77-80f depending on ambient temps.
And how long have they been transplanted?Clones transplanted from soil. Pic is from 1 day later.

do it half and half,that would save you money,im not sure about hydroguard ive heard of it but dont know contents,silica will raise your ph ,so safe side id do as aqua said half and half,worth a try anyway,5 gal of ro water here is 1.75 and from what im told thats cheap from rest of the country,i disagree with that when i already pay for tap water hahahah,i moved to this new place 3 yrs ago and have a well with extremly hard water,the aquifer is all limestone base from source to house,have the damnest time buffering it with my soil but some how do,mine is at 400 ppm out the tap and 7.2 ph,hard shit,anyway if half and half wont work try lower ph number to adjustOnly thing other than nutes is hydroguard. I think I'll pump out the whole system and refill with RO tonight.
