terpenophenolic
I see your point, and used to do that too, until I started getting inaccurate readings(liquid test) soon after the plants started to lockout I started checking the water first, got my ph correct first then added nutes. All went well, even picked up a ph pen and dropped the liquid. My ph didint drop when I added nutes, so I stayed with the same procedure, ever since I have never had a single problem with PH.
What nutes are you using.... I was using GH at the time.
i use all organic nutes, right now I'm using Alaska fish emulsion maxi-crop seaweed and liquid bone meal for veg, and the same thing but different ratios for bloom and I also add bat guano for bloom...........
