hello,
I was wondering when using silica products generally dyna-gro pro tekt as a p.h. up? When should it be added? I've been told to put in first before base nutes. Why is this?
Today I was using R/O starting at 6.8, I added clonex for my ez cloner 60 site and the ph went down to 5.6 ph. added half teaspoon of cal-mag plus, didn't change ph a bit. Then i added pro tekt silica at 1 ml. The ph went to 8.4!
I'am using GH ph up and down i put some ph down in some water to dilute it then use it that way. Then i put hygrozyme in at 1 ml per gallon after i got the water down to 6.0 then it went down. to 5.75 ph. I added the silica a lil more to raise it a tad to 5.87. tested an hr later then settled at 5.9.
Any one have any comment to how i'am going about doing this? How much is too much for ph up and down, like at how much does it take to go over board.
