Nutrients changing pH?

[Mixwell63]

I'm growing in FFOF, I pH the water to around 6.5, then put in nutes which changes the pH and is a big hassle to get back in range. Are there any brands of nutes that don't change the pH of the water when added it for a soil grow?

nutes change ph . especailly organic ones. i use a good organic soil thats alive . no ph required.have you tried just adding nutes and then check ph. i havent needed to check ph in years .

first off, why pH before nutes?

second, as super said, your doing organic? so why pH ?

third, only organic I've ever run, that was best, even with R/O was, bio seiva

fourth, your lime, is gonna buffer pH

Don't waste ur drops or ur batt. Ph.ing ur h20 b4 u add the nutes even if ur using tap the base will drop ur ph quite a bit and on top of adding the additional stuff drops it even furthur.. I'm using soul syn. Line up and with ro I come out super low 4 if not high 3s so quite a bit of ph up is needed.. I've only done ans jungle juice lucas with no additives but switched to the go line for the last 2 runs and wasn't very happy so I'm tryin the aurora company now back to synthitics and I use a 50/50 mix of ffof and canna cocco..but yes agreed don't ph b4 nutes if u want just check it if ur using tap and add ur nutes around that but ro is gonna give u 6 even solid... I use the h20 vending machines they are regulated by the fda so they gotta stay on top of there shit... after all they are despensing and selling purified drinking water, so its gotta be good or they get fucked

Yes, pH always changes when you add nutrients. It's more about keeping the pH at the ideal level, depending on the medium in which you are growing.

pH after your nutrients have been mixed in. There's no point pHing before that.
