Do your nutes drop your pH?

Wish Dongle 69 was still around , she'd have killer input on this I'd bet .

I too wish dongle69 was still around. I went so far as to ask her to Mod this forum with me, or at least ask to become a mentor. She was one smart cookie...

Plant Magic drops the pH, both Grow and Bloom

Same goes for Hesi, the whole range

GH Ripen ---ditto------

Vitalink Buddy ----ditto----

Plant Magic is the only one that keeps near it's pH after a day of aeration ..... excellent stuff

Yep, full strength (4 ml/L A+B) drops PH from 7.6 to 6.0. 1/2 str drops to 6.4 approx. I have been feeding every watering at 1/2 str. w/ the odd time at full str. (soilless)

Bloom formula is the same as grow pH-wise, all is well so far...


Peace

Does anyone about adjusting pH befiore adding nutes, if ph drops from 6.5-7 to 4.5-5 should i bring ph up to 8.5 then add nutes, ?

I've always found that adjusting the water first takes less pH up/down then doing it later. (gh 3 part)

do you adjust ph to 8.5 then add 3 parts GH? what is your water ph before you adjust it. mine is about 6.5 mabye a couple points less when just water. I was told i could set to 8.5 then add my 3 part and my additives. Cheers
