hi all,
hope someone can help me before i evict these ladies lol. this isnt my first grow but is my virgin scrog and have run into some baaadass ph issues. i have a 40ltr bubbler running at ec-1.8 (just upped nutes from 1.6 to try and sort problem) 2weeks into flower.
the problem is the ph will drop from 5.8 right down to 4.5 some days. i correct with tap water but still falls rapidly. @tap ph-7.3, ec 0.4 .....canna aqua, riznotonic, canazym and nothing else. mix up all nutes and additives first then ph down.
they dont look unhealthy...far from it roots fluffy n white and no nasty smells from res but i know this problem will kill em if not sorted i am lovin the simplicity of the bubbler but am losing patience with the ph issue. will post pics once i know how to lol.....any advice would be gr8.....thanx guys
 
hey man, are you dechlorinating your tap water? tap water has added chemicals including chlorine that can hurt your plants. also could be water temps that keep fucking with the ph

Hey JTO, glad to hear your PH prob is finally worked out.
I notice a few ppl having probs with Canna products in DWC.

One thing I learned is that the breeders never give you the right flowering time they probably lessen it by 10 days or so to make it more appealing to the grower, also you never know how they grew their plants was it hydro, dirt, soiless ??? who knows. Best way is to do it yourself with a 100x's microscope from Radio Shack ( 15 bucks ) and check the trichomes your self.
