Time for a Rez change I think I will run the eight step process I don't really need to but still have two plants that are not doing well so I do them all anyway. Generally speaking my girls are doing better a lot greener and growing.
Going to make two small changes this week going to mix one fifth of my water from the tap added to my ro water, and I am going to add some calmag to my mix, not supposed to need it with the to system I have but I have been foliage feeding calmag and my girls love it. So I am going to add a little to my mix

Cool man. Good to see you still going at it. Bet your next go-around will be 10x better. Im still in soil and having ph problems so my stuff is way behind too. Once i get it dialed-in look for my next too be better as well. Keep up good work youll have it down in no time. :smokebuds:
Thx spellbound the hydro has been a huge learning curve for me but I have been studying here hard and I am thinking I have a better understanding of what I am doing and things like ph adjustments are easier. I am looking forward to next grow though I have some nice photo strains started for mothers so I will be doing photos next but will do an auto with them as well not sure what yet but something that has potential to produce heavy! Thx for checking on me good luck with your stuff I'll check your thread later
Tell yah, I like that HygroHybrid on youtube. Got his shit down and makes it look so easy. Hands on knowledge is best teacher but having some-what of an understanding is big advantage for sure. He explains lot of stuff.
A little up date changed rezs yesterday added two gallons tap water to 8 ro on hopes of stabilizing ph also added a little calmag to the mix. Ph still climbs everyday I start the day by achecking and adjusting ph, start the day at 5.8 next morning 6.5. I only adjust it once a day because it adds 50 ppm am adjustment if I do it perfectly. That adds up fast.
Something in my system is unstable either the cotton media or too much rock wool I don't think it's light.
The hydro store going out of business really doomed this grow if the white widow wasn't such a fighter I wouldn't have a plant alive.
I plan on replacing all my media before I try my next attempt. I will fight this ph thing thru it has to be hard on the plants though. I don't think I can change media now sure to to full of roots.
So I will keep fighting this out and change solution more often to keep the amount of buffer I have in it to minimum.
Anybody got any ideas what else I can try! I really don't want give up I know I am going to yield nothing it's a principle thing now.
My two best plants the others are trying these two are really trying.
Off to study the master seymore -buds peace

Hi there. About your ph keep rising. I use a top feed system myself. And my ph goes from 5.7 to 6.2 in 24 hours. Seems to be more stable in flower. I adjust one time a day and my plant is doing fine. so dont worry to much about it. Im using tap water at 200-430 ppm so my water is pretty hard to.adjusting ph, It's just a thing you have to do on a daily basis ;-). Keep it up.
Peace
Peace

Thx ksjauto my plants look better I underfed early and then over fed and now I am ok I think on nutes but the ph drift is killing me but I am getting real good at adjusting it. I have no choice but to keep trying I learn a lot on here AFN every one is lots of help. Thx for checking in on me peace
Question about my ph drift???? Ok something is causing my ph to climb a lot everyday not sure why but I suspect it is the cotton /polyester ???? Media that I had no choice but to use. That or the fact that I started my seeds in rock wool cubes then they went to a bigger rock wool cube maybe too much rock wool the two I lost the roots never made past the first rock wool!
Whatever it is I have a ph drift from 5.8/6.5 everyday. I adjust in the morning and a couple hours later it is back up.
What is my best plan here I have been adjusting it once a day back to. 5.8. Should I stick with this or should I take down to. 5.5 and let it climb from there?
I can't keep it stable so what's my best plan of attack now other than killing these getting the right stuff and starting I often feel like doing this but it's not really an option. I don't want to give up but feel I am fighting a losing battle
Any advice comments appreciated
