I'm about a week into my first grow and i'm using a stealth hydrokit. I just started putting my nutes in yesterday and changed my ph a little bit and my water is now green. Is this because of my nutes or ph down OR does my water have algae?

It takes a week or two to grow algae. The GROW nutes do give the water a green tint. The BLOOM nutes tint it pink.

Are you going to be posting pics?
