    Adding Cana A+B lowers my pH when adding to RO water and cal mag to 0.3 EC

    This time around I have invested in a PH pen (haven't got EC reader yet), tested my water after calibration and it's sat around 7.0.

    I'm presuming after adding the nutrients this lowers the PH level, not raises it? What if the PH is still not lower enough - what is best solution to lower the PH further?

    Do I need an EC pen? Is it much harder to without one? Can you grow successfully without one?

    Thanks for your help guys
    Matter of interest, what kind of results did you get without thinking of PH etc?

    Tbh dude, I got double than what I was expecting.. Last grow was around 8 years ago (My old account is on this site before thctalk members database got hacked/leaked) But I didn't want to reuse my old login because it has my personal email on (which could be linked to my address)

    I got just short of 25Oz, with 1 x 600w HPS and 4 Inch outtake (No intake)

    It was my crappest setup, but by biggest ever haul. I just used as instructed on bottle Canna A+B.

    Cheers

    Yeh I always thought the nutes lowered the PH level.

    I always put it down to my base water must of been the perfect PH, I did get the occasional nute burn, but I trimmed them quite heavily in the past whilst in flower (the stress seemed to egg them on to flower a bit more - not sure why)
