if you top up your resevoir with fresh water like you should be, your ph really should not be climbing like it is. also, everything you add to your water will effect the ph unless for example you are using a ph balanced nutrient like Floranova. as well only add a drop or 2 of ph down and wait a day as too much can have undesired effects on ph.
rule of thumb is 5 gallons for each plant.
i would consider 1 gallon/foot a better model.
regardless of your ph, 8 gallons is overkill for even a monstrous plant let alone your seedling lol
you'd think that would be the case, but not so. in hydro, it doesn't take much eating or drinking by the plants to have a big effect on the ph/ppm of the rez. a larger rez helps to buffer these changes, keeping things stable. a small rez/amount can't accomplish this.i would consider 1 gallon/foot a better model.
Noob here. Running DWC (bubbleponics setup) like in Rosemans thread. Problem is that my ph keeps rising. Rinsed my rockwool cube and rinsed my hydroton clay pellets. I am using a PH lower liquid from Petsmart. Will that work or is that not a good one to use?
I'm having similar issues. pH rises every 24 hours. EC was 650 going in. .5ml drops of down daily to stabilize back to 5.5ph, EC stays the same. Plants are growing nice tho.
