Hey peoples, I have a ppk setup that is sitting solid on ph 5.5, before it was rising daily so I'd let it swing between 5.5 and 6.1, but now we're in the middle of summer the water is coming out of the tap at 6.5 (usually up to 7.8 most of the year)
Am I ok to leave at 5.5?
Can I add extra silica to bring up? I've added about as much as directions suggest, not sure if this is toxic in higher quantities..
I have no ph up as in 5 years of growing hydro I've never needed it before. I did have a bottle when I first started not sure where that went haha
Are there other nutrients that will help to raise it?
Can't get another bottle of up for another 5 days at least...
Week 6 of flower using nutrifield grow at .4 ec, flairform bloom .4ec and koolbloom dry .3ec
Cheers
