i bought the new ph perfect 2 part sensi bloom the other day i filled up my res with 10 ltr of water left for 24 hours the ph was around 8 by then wen i mixed my nutes in and turned the pump on the ph went to around 7 so basically im jus wondering what dio i do now do i jus water the plants n it will sort its self out or should i lower the ph myself, im wonderinfg how the nutes know what ph to be how does it know if ill water soil or hydro there is a big difference betwen 6.3 and 7 it seems too much of a risk wen im 3 weeks into flower any help will be great

Dude - great questions.

I haven't had the privilege of using AN's pH Perfect, but I want to after reading this review - and it sounds like it answers some of your questions. Of course, I have no idea who wrote it, so I guess you have to take it with a grain of salt.

Personally, I've used AN for my MMJ for some time now and I love it, and I expect that pH Perfect is as great as some are saying.

Good luck!

Here's the link: http://www.advancednutrientsx.com/advanced-nutrients-ph-perfect-review.html

Its probably fair to say that all fertilizers effect pH as soon as they are mixed with water, and the Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect nutrients are no different except it doesn’t matter what your pH reading is it will always end up available to the plant because of the new smart release technology. The nutrient couldn’t possibly know what type of system it was in so the pH would read whatever the local water was after a nutrient was added, leading us to believe that the growers that have checked their pH immediately after mixing have seen a lucky result.
What Did We Find Out About Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect?
Example: One grower using the 3 part Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect in a hydro system with RO (Reverse Osmossis) water checked his pH after mixing the tank & said the pH was perfect at 5.8 without the addition of pH up or down. Another grower using the same 3 part in soil with local tap water checked his pH after mixing the tank & said the pH was perfect at 6.5 without addition of pH adjusters.
So how did the nutrient know?
It didn’t - it’s that old thing of nutrients changing the pH when mixed with water & the Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect would have worked any way even with a reading of 7.5 the nutrients will still all be available to the plant as and when they are needed. So what will my meters read? Whatever the water is with some nutrient added which could be anything.
Did Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect work?
Yes, very very well is the short answer.
The longer answer is we tried & tested the pH ppm Perfect nutrients at 4ml per litre from Advanced Nutrients on different plants & systems with great results without any pH adjustment or EC metering and the worst thing that happened was very minor tip burn while it seemed to be settling in, even with additions of Bud Blood & Big Bud.
We are very pleased to announce that our growers have grown crops full term over the last 4 or 5 months on total Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow and Bloom & Grow – Micro – Bloom’s new dilution formulations from Advanced Nutrients, with outstanding results finishing up to 1 wk early. Regular tank changes, up to every 4 days are preferable but our display systems have had none or very few.

thanks that was quite helpfully actually, so no matter what reading my ph says it doesnt matter if this really works it will be pretty good, i jus have one more problem i am using a boost which is not AN its ionic will this still work with no ph adjustment i doubt anyone will really know so i will probably jus try it out and see what happens.

come on guys there must be some others who have tried out this ph perfect nutes any info is helpfull, i started using the ph perfect on my pineapple express a few days ago without any ph adjustment there is some yellowing down a few of the leaves but nothing too major at the mo fingers crossed it works out fine jus need to find out about mixing other products with it, i have been using it on my other plant aswell but adding boost and ph it to 6.3 that plant is doing fine no burn or yellowing at all.
 
I would have to dissagree with the above post the nutes I don't care what kind need to be in the proper range to be water soluble there are no mithical compounds!!!!! I use gh flora series with good water and am lucky it sets the ph to 6.0 perfect for me stays there with no adjustment! But that does not mean you never have to adjust perfect ph just means if you have perfect water it will set ph for you if your water sucks you still need to make adjustments! So in short yes adjust you ph if it is off!

I have the grow micro bloom PH PERFECT. My buds have never looked better but then again i learn something new about everyday lol. My ph with 5ml of each in a gal of tap is 6.4ish even if i throw more nute in but my plants love it better then ever. i used fox farms 3 part and the go organic line for awhile. now just rapid start and gmb. I did get blood bud big bud samples i have the bud candy the clear version which i think burnt the hell out of my plants not sure no ppm metr only ph 200 working on it thou. which i add 4ml a gal too not if i use other two additives thou. hand water smart pots everyday 1 gal just alil closet grow but its finally starting to pay off now for sure.my buds have to be staked up and buds still fall to the floor.

i would pose this question. if the nutes are chelated thus allowing penetration into the roots regardless of ph, wouldnt the risk of overfeeding be a real issue? and since actual ph could be over/under what would this do to beneficial microbes?
