I've used only GH nutes with r/o water, for 15 years, and have found them to be rock solid stable. The pH and ppm changes are very predicatable. Ppm goes down, pH goes up.My first goal is to achieve a PH stable stock solution.
Will a stock a & b type fertiliser solution have a tendency to remain PH stable over time all by it's self no buffering needed?
Thank you all again

In a tightly screwed bottle, there will only be pH changes if you have incompatibilities (i.e. precipitation). A mineral fertiliser with a low pH has a veeeery long shelf life if closed airtight.@OO The reason I wanted to buffer my stock solutions was to increase shelf life by means of controlling PH swings in the bottle.
Are you saying there is no need to such a thing?
I guess I assumed this was a must for long term storage of a stock solution.
What nutes have you used with this effect?I meant my rez or soil ph perfect with no swings. My experience has been that roots take in solution and don't either drink or eat but take in solution as a whole and never part. Yet for over 15 years i read people reporting their belief that cannabis roots can separately eat or drink. Roots ate more like an iv, take in solution at the rate and amount exposed.
Well this explains why you don't see changes. Topping off with nutes *and* changing out your res every week? Wasting a lot of water and nutes there, unless your veggie garden is getting it.Changing res out once a week. Topping off water and ferts 2x a day.
