Your EC is way too high for young plants My EC is about 1 for full grown plants in full flower. It is normal for my nutes to rapidly rise in ph the first day or so. The less water you have, the less stable your EC and PH will be.

Common problem not much water and lots of air.No roots in the system.Dont fret over it,keep the ppm down until you get some roots.

Could also be your nutes and your ph down,what r u using?
In the past ive added ph up @ 1.5 ml/gallon,this gave the nutes and ph down something to cling too.Made my ph more stable.Ive since changed my ph down to GH and no problems now.

Why are you fucking with the ph when using ph perfect. It is called ph perfect for a reason. If you want to run ph perfect put your ph pen in a safe. It will only drive you crazy.

AN will tell you to leave the ph alone.

If you want to have a ph below 6 ditch the AN and pick up some dry nutes. Not going to tell you which one..do a lil research and choose your own.

Cut nute cost by 99%.

Dry life is an easy life

Well something is a miss. I suspect your nutes. I’ve never run AN. I understand there ph down to be the strongest though? If you can try a different brand. I know more money but that’s all I got. Or your ph pen is outa wack. Are using drops to confirm your pen?
Are you adding something other then the AN? Like Si or something that’s doing this?
