Hi guys,
I'm moving over to hydro from soil for the first time.
I've got 2 bubblers and been practising setting PH/EC etc
My bacground EC is 0.5 and the PH is 7.9
I've been making up 12 litres for a full res per bucket - then adding 10ml Canna Aqua Vega A & B, 40ml Rhizo & 8ml PH Down to make it 1.0 EC and 5.8 PH
I set the bubblers up with no plants in, then checked the levels the following day.
The EC had gone up in one to 1.4 and the other to 1.7 and the PH had gone back up to over 8!
How does this happen?
One thing I wondered is I used water straigh out of the tap, and only left the nute solution a few mins before adding PH down.
If I leave the water to stand over night, then add nutes, then adjust PH the following day, will it keep it stable?
