Professor: General Hydro's pH kit with the: color coded comparison chart, the test chemical, test flask, pH up and pH down chemicals should do the trick unless you have other problems. Drastic swings are usually a sign of other problems. HSA

Swings are natural too. Try checking the pH just once a day and always at the same time. Don't get caught in a cycle of over adjusting.

also remember if youre nutes are not buffered then you will get swings. also roots sweat to wich can cause swings. so like illegal smile siad just check 1 or 2 a day and adjust

Professor: We've all given you good advice so what have you done to solve your problem? Just remember when you swing away from that golden spot of 5.8 pH you start locking out necessary nutrients. HSA

24-48 hours will swing few points especially if you have organics in DWC. Adding anything to your res can and probably will affect your ph as well. Also the plant does affect the ph, as when uptaking nutes it gives off positive and negative ions that effect the ph. If you are smart enough and read you can find out two what causes these ion shifts and this will help diagnose your plant is doing.
