Thanks Briain.......i have to stop over and see hpw you looking.....:five:
its new to me Kgreen i have no idea what it will bebut i can tell you that i'm not going to worry about the runoff if the plants look good...... or maybe i learn something along the way but i was taught not too worry about runoff in my hempy bucket!?...we will see
I didn't think pH perfect had a buffering capability or although it may you would still have to pH up or down it to the pH you want for optimum affect (who wants to wait a couple hours or more while your roots buffer the pH you want the food instant!) - the difference with pH perfect nutes is they contain chelated nutrients which can be absorbed on a much wider pH scale like 5.0-8.0 or even wider sometimes. But keeping you water to a correct pH is still essential.

Sorry i was being an idiot - pH perfect is balanced and buffered let me tell you how it works if you havent read the huge pH manifesto!
Basically in your water there is alkalinity and if you havent got a reverse osmosis system some of this alkalinity contains anions which are nitrates, phosphates, sulfates, carbonates and bicarbonates which positively charge your water and roots creating a chemical reaction which sends the pH in your medium up depending on the amount of anions in your water to start with.
With pH perfect they contain a completely balanced amount of cations to anions which when added to your medium react in perfect synchronization keeping the pH at where you set it - now this does depend whether or not you have Reverse Osmosis water as although they have the perfect balance of cations to anions if your water has a high anion or alkalinity source this will still affect the pH rising.
So what they done - to further cover their backs on the pH perfect claim - was to make pretty much all the nutrients in the solutions fully chelated which means they can be taken up on a pH scale of 4-9 (They can be uptaken at 1-10 but the roots get burned up faster than they can use the nutrients at ph 4-9)
So yeah hopefully that made sense - and will save you an hour or so reading the pH manifesto - but if you are interested in reading the whole thing just type in pH manifesto on google it should be top of the list PDF
