i have read some reviews and people said Company reps told them to:

1. fill your res and PH it properly
2.Add ph perfect nutes

They said this will prevent ph drifting so much but the chelated nutrients remain available from like 5.0 - 8.0 or something crazy like that


SO apparently they work better if the REs is correct before you add them.....Ph perfect doesn't change the actual Ph, it just has nutrients available in a wide ph range so they dont get locked out.

i guess it makes sense that you still want to be optimal ph range regardless for the most efficient uptake of available nutrients.

also i guess its less effective at lower than recommended dosages per feeding......less buffer in res to stabilize means less stabilization, again kinda makes sense

hmm... Not PHing was the ONLY thing making me want to go that route lol... I normally would would mix up 50 gallons at a time. But with this system I was just going to keep the 50 gallon normal water (which I use rain water which is always in the safe range) and i was just going to throw the PH perfect nutes in, and move along my day lol

I've used AN nutes and additives for a good while now and I've never ph'd my water, nor does it say you need to on their website.

MrKline006. You don't want to make up anything you cant use within a week as things start to go funky after that

As long as your starting ph is between 4.8-8.5 all's good

I use the veg base nutes starting at 1ml and work up to 3ml p/l, full strength i get nute burn ( 4ml p/l ) Bloom i use at 3ml p/l throughout the phase. If you want to use their bloom boosters, they need to be at full strength
