Currently using ph perfect sensi grow and connoisseur in hempy buckets, no complaints. I use distilled water and after 3 weeks I stopped checking my ph before I fed because its pointless. I did have a cal def but started adding a gram of calcium nitrate and a half gram of epsom salt to each gallon of water first, that brought my ppm to around 150 and then added my nutes and that took care of it. I feed every other day and once a week I check my runoff ph/ppm and its always at 5.8-5.9, and my ppm doesnt fluctuate by more than 30. I cant say it grows them better or worse than anything iv used before but it does what it says, ph is perfect. DWC guys say the ph climbs after a couple days and they have to adjust it a little. Like I said, iv run the GH line lucas formula with calimagic in hempys and was pleased, GH 3 part with additives and was pleased, H&G and additives and was pleased and a few others. They all work if you use them as directed and at the correct ph/ppm. If I run in dirt I wont use any of them tho, I run Dr earth potting mix, add perlite, and feed with Jacks classic. Simple, cheap, and effective
