ya be real hard to convince me to buy that stuff,like i mentioned above sounds like a gimmick to me hahaah i wouldnt doubt at all that you are rightThere is a video out here that shows advanced demoing the ph perfect nutes. Im sure there are instructions too but i have never even read the bottles.
The video showed a res with the proper temp and ppm’s for the stable ph.
Sorry i dont have time to search for the info right now.
Mixing tap and ro will still over buffer the nute system i am sure. Advanced is not trying to save anyone any money thats for sure.
Yeah if they call for RO which I think they do you kinda hooped on it and I would say go full RO.There is a video out here that shows advanced demoing the ph perfect nutes. Im sure there are instructions too but i have never even read the bottles.

Is the ph perfect made for hydro or soil? That's going to be 2 way different ph's its trying to maintain Just sounds like it has a shit ton of buffers in it so if it is sitting that high after using it you might want to switch to the regular 3 part from them. You will be fighting the buffers and prob have to use so much down you will be wacking almost 100 ppm or more of P by the time you get it to where you want it. 7 is way too high for what you are doing. In the end that stuff is going to be more trouble and money then it's worth since it takes the control out of your hands, and in rdwc, that is exactly what you want.
I use Advanced PH Down since its so concentrated and don't want to fuck with pure acid....that's about it and the only money they would ever get from me.
its gonna need a minute to get used to a new way of growing,soil and hydro work in different ways.they wont make it in hydro if you cant control your ph soil is much more forgivingClones transplanted from soil. Pic is from 1 day later.
hydroguard is beneficial bacteria for hydro growing.It's made for hydro. I only bought it because of reading from people about how it would keep their ph in the perfect range throughout the grow. Guess I'll see what happens when I switch to RO. Hopefully the ph corrects. Wanted one less thing to constantly adjust to make it easier for my 1st hydro run. We'll see what happens, but I don't think I'll be buying it anymore. Also, it says 5 in 1, but it's only 3 bottles. Is that right? There's a Micro, a Grow, and a Bloom. Doesn't mention anything else.
do 50% of mfr recommendedDrained the system and refilled with 30 gallons of RO. PH is sitting at 6.5 right now, with 30 ppm. Plants gotten noticeably lighter since last night. What PPM should I shoot for? Don't want to mix too hot if they need recovery time.
If you used RO and added the nutrients in proper ratios I would leave it. Again I'm not familiar with this line but I have read many posts of people chasing the ph with this product that didn't end well.Thanks. Mixed everything up, and now my ph is 6.1, and 169ppm. Sound good?
Yeah distilled and RO water have to have buffers addeded back. Ph perfect is hydro and contains buffers so once added it stabilizes the ph. I would say this is why chasing it usually results in problemsWith RO water ph is a useless metric. There’s not enough dissolved minerals in it to keep it stable. Blue lab meters say not to use them in straight RO or distilled water as they will ruin the probes and that seems to be true as @1diesel1 can attest. With purified water such as RO or distilled the ph of the water itself is null. When doing the slurry test using purified water the liquid takes on the ph of the soil very quickly. That’s what makes the slurry test so accurate. You can test ph and ppm’s of your soil using the slurry test. When in doubt do slurry tests. It will show you where you are at and give you the ability to make adjustments to get back on track.
