ph drop 5.8 to 4.2 in 24 hours

been growing for a good while now. I recently moved. I have a flowering well the water coming out of pipe has a ppm of 8 and ph 0f 5.8. By the time i add nutrients the ph drops down to 4. I add PH up to around 5.8 to 6. in 24 hours its down to 4.2. Any ideas how I can make stay?

Sounds like something in the nutrition is fucking with your pH. I've been have the exact same problem with the K addictive I've been using pushing my pH up over 7.5 then I started using a product called Torus Perfect pH and it's been a lot better. Still swings a bit and needs to be checked the day after I mix and adjusted a little but it's not jumping through the roof like it was before.

totally normal
if your water measure 8ppm its the same as RO water ... totally demineralized
your water is very soft, it do not contain any buffers

the nutrients on market are designed to work with hard water = water buffered with bicarbonates

you need to use RO water nutrients .. pretty hard to get depending on where you live
there are designed to run with very soft waters, so they dont lower the ph

personnaly i use ''FERRO osmose'' line with reverse osmosis water/ water from my AC
you can also use gh tripart soft water etc..

Switch to a professional fertilizer that's stable. Jack's 5-12-26, epsom salt, ans calcium nitrate. Dilute to 1.6 EC. PH adjust to 5.8. Clone to harvest. The PH stays stable in a 32 gallon reservoir for up to 8 days with no movement. I recommend you start Jack'n it 3-2-1 style daily sir
