ok, i guess i was wrong, but my pH issue is back. it was good for about 3 days...today i checked it in the morning and it was around 5.5 and then i just checked it and it was like 6.0....i dont know what i'm doing wrong, but obviously i'm doing something wrong. please help

ok, so not 10 minutes after i posted that, i went back in the room and the damn thing was standing on it's own again...wtf...but the damn'd pH was 5.5! just checked it a few minutes ago and 5.6...it's lookin good...that might have resolved my issues! NOW GROW GREEN PLANTS! GROW GREEN!

ok, so last night i tried to fix everything. when i got up this morning...the pH was still pretty good. this evening i went in to check the pH and it's holding at about 5.8. little high, but all in all pretty good. BUT! one of my plants has fallen over. the main stem is not hard enough to...

so, now that i've fixed the PH and lowered the PPM...how long should it take for the plants to recover? is 200 PPM low enough?

ok, well i have lowered the PPMs to 200, hopefully that will help

they seem to be getting worse! some leaves are curling up and some are drooping bad! is this the result of over watering? what should my watering schedule be?

ok, i will add some more pH balanced water to my rig to bring the PPM down. I will make sure that the pH is 5.5. Should I adjust the pH of the water in the reservoir daily? (i've got pH up and pH down made by GH) Also, adding those solutions increases the PPM, is that ok? or should I check...
