Anyone using prime know about how to ph? I haven't been w prime then noticed it says on feed chart: don't ph adjust when using h16 prime. Which iv not been. However it says in parenthesis "5.5-6.5 is acceptable starting point". My water is low 7s... should I ph adjust it then to the range before mixing anything????

Thanks,

Im justt trying coco, been in promix hp. Liking what im seeing so far. Seems really nice and my girls like it the coco girl just looks better tho they are not a controlled side by side just going off the eyevand intuition... i really like the idea of more frequent watering or feeding....

I start my rez with water ph at 5.8 before adding h16 and it stays at 5.8. My drain to waste rez lasts 2-3 days typically, and the second day it's always risen to 6.2, which I usually ph down to 5.8 again. Is this wrong? I've tried with and without airstones without much difference in ph. I need to double check what plain water rises to, seems like not that much more.
I get the same with their veg and bloom, and I don't use roots or flush.

My temperatures are dropping at night now and the veg seems to show it more now than before I started using h16. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe something else

[Huckster79]

Are you using prome or just the bases? Also h16 says they discourge a bubbler in their brew... im a coco or promix guy so that bubbler stuff not in my a rea of expertise but that is from h16 literature..

AB Prime and Fire at the dosing from h16 nute calculator. I ran the Flush for a couple runs in flower and it did seem to help with the ph rising between feeds a little bit, but didn't help in keeping them from getting too salty by week 6. I'm curious if th complete line is necessary for ph stabilizing or just the prime

I beleive just the prime... idk if id worry about that swing but i know nothing of true hydroponics so i may be way off. In promix or coco that wouldnt bother me at all.... some folks let it wander a bit on purpose.... btw roots has some great reveiws of ppl that have tried diff root stimulators and the foliar is killer! The foliar i tell you, you can see the "perk" within hours from it. I quit using it regularly as with a small set up i outrow my
veg room if i push em to hard so now just use it when young and in times of stress. The shit goes a long way to as H16 recoments justba mist of it, you dont spray till its raining on the floor.... check foliar out....

The foliar with fire and roots i think it was all together is even better than the foliar by itself. I cantremember but its like .5 of roots and fire . look it up on google

anyway its awesome, i dont use it any more cause i never use barely any of my foliar bottle and had throwing away stuff. but if i had any kind of probs or difciancies iduse it again

never in 3-4 years have i ph'd h16, i use the whole line excluding the base, but talked to owner and if i ran their base id have even better results

Does anyone else find that Prime blasts the ph down to the 4's ?

Using RO water , following the nute Calc off of Heavys website ..

Kinda scared too water this low - I have noticed it raises over a few days - up to the mid 6s.

Is the swing from low to high ph part of the idea ? Open up a wider range of ph for nute absobsorbtion?

Peace !

No iv ph sampled mine and almost always 6.5 on Within a couple points....My tap water runs an ez 7.5.... you using it all? Im not sure that matters or not...seems like it could
