  As teens in the early 80's. We didn't know about pH & had huge beautiful indoor plants using 20-20-20 & 10-60-10 garden plant food 🤨

  I add dry silica amendment &nbsp;to my ro water before adding the ph down. This gives the ph down something to grab on to. <br> Hope this helps someone growing dwc.

  My run off was 2700s in 45 day of flower my plants had terrible lock out especially potassium had to do a huge flush got back down in 8-900s then fed my buds look ok but damn I fucked up bad ph meter I’m back on track but will never know how much better they could have been I let my girls down 😢

  This grow i have been running salts, my tap comes in fairly neutral and the salts i use balance to around 6. But, just to be safe I am throwing in some recharge with every water. I also don&apos;t go to runoff because im lazy and dont want to dispose of the excess. Harvested 3 plants so far and it&apos;s been working out great. Good stuff guys!

  I use Sensi grow and bloom with perfect pH technology. I couldn’t mess my pH up if I wanted to.

  The first time I did DWC, I used tap water, I did everything wrong and the plants got massive and the buds were dank af. The 2nd time I did everything right and I had a bunch of issues, I went back to doing everything wrong and that&apos;s where I&apos;m at. I spent some good money on a ph tester, $150.00 and as long as you calibrate it every other month and maintain it properly, it&apos;s awesome I&apos;ve had it for 4 years and it&apos;s still working great.

  PH reagent works great for coco. No calibration required. I ditched the pH pen long ago

  The reason why RO and to a lesser extent rainwater lack ph buffering and react too quickly to adjustments is from a lack of bicarbonate. &nbsp;Adding 0.1g of potassium bicarbonate per liter of purified water will make your solution much more stable and easier to control in terms of pH. &nbsp;This is for the same reason that swimming pool guys add &quot;alkalinity control&quot; which is really baking soda/sodium bicarbonate to help keep the ph stable. &nbsp;We don&apos;t want sodium so use potassium bicarb intead.

  A lot of growers put bubblers in there water which raise the ph i do this at the beginning when i take the chlorine out of the water

  Big time learning curve on this topic. I have been mixing my soil using peat moss, compost and perlite. The water I use is hard and has a high ph. Trying to get a system going is a challenge. If I use ph down , I will mix up a gallon of water with 5 ml and it sets until I’m ready to water. I started with vinegar, but that faded. The ph down seems to remain good for days. I get a little runoff when I water, and test the ph and ppm from that to get n idea of how my soil is doing. Only my second grow, so gotta ways to go yet, but this is a really cool show man. Thanks
