    Default ph going DOWN!?

    I got some really healthy looking plants, the roots are all nice and white, and they seem great. But the ph will drop from 5.9 to 5.1 in 12 hours, it doesnt go up just down, the E.C remains the same so I know I'm not over feeding. Plus I don't own a bottle of ph UP, only ph down, so i add plain tap water to bring the ph back up, this obviously lowers my PPMs, but the ph still goes down, they are at EC 0.8 in third week and that 0.8 includes the 0.4 background EC, so very light;y fed IMO. what could be making my PH go down like this?? baffled!

    Im using canna aqua a&b veg, rhizotonic, cannzym and bud link (silicon)

    The EC isn't going up its just staying the same but the ph drops about 0.7 over 12 hours for the last few days, theyre taking on water and feed equally but the ph is going down rather than up. Makes no sense and I can't find an answer anywhere. It's not overfeeding though

    Never use ph up, use liquid silicone instead, if you don't want to touch it use a syringe for easy application or an eye dropper.
