pH problems anyone? I have been adding around 3ml per gallon cal mag and keep my Mills around 5ml AB 4ml R in veg. Ive noticed If I leave it in my res aerating, my pH will rise from 5.8 to 6.5 by the next day. Could it be from aerating it?

I used mills this past run and I wont be using them again, the buds were lacking in the smell department. Flavor is also lacking. I never went above 1000ppm in heavy flower. You'll need to supplement with calmag. Its a ok line,

Are you using RO or tap water?

How did they yield?

RO water. I realized it was because I was aerating my res too much and I was adding too many different additives (calmag, silica, drip clean). They are not needed..

As a good friend owns a store, over the past year or so, I have been running different samples, including Mills. Mills are easy, and produce well. I added some sugars, and have very nice results with smell, taste, yield. In my experience, most systems take some time to get to know, but Mills is certainly a fine choice. I have a lot to play with, but I will be running Mills against a few tried and true favorites, and we will see what the side by side says. So far, it seems to hold its own against most, but each plant, grower, and experience is different. You may want to try subsituting some things here or there, but Mills will get the job done.

Mills was actually among the best i've recently sampled for pH. Hardly ever have to adjust.

I use coco/peat mix. Sunshine advanced #4 - but have a few other sample soils to try out too..

We are just finishing our first run with Mills. The colas on Lemon Skunk are so big they caved in due to small weak stems. Supported with several poles and twine spider-webbed. 8 week veg. and had its own 1000w. 1200-1400 ppm

Has anyone found this to be problem? I have started to using Pro-Tekt to get bigger stronger stems.
