Its been a couple of weeks now since i bought my first ponics and have been reading and learning on this forum from since and i was wondering how come some peoples adjust their PH when they put a new res and not worry about it for a week or so.....and mee :D I need to adjust it every day ...whats up with that :D

and yeah .. what do you think which system is the best for maintaining ph and ec fluctuations

I use about 1.33 gallons r/o in a 2 gallon bucket dwc, and ph stays where I put it... although I do top up with 7.0 r/o and set ph every 2-3 days in full bloom. You might have buffers in your water or nutes. If you're using tap water, that's probably the problem.

i good size plant in full flower can easily take 1-1.5gal per day, try to have a res that allows for 7-10 days worth of water. it will make life much easier, i can go 8-9 days without worrying or checking ph.

Well I'm growing inside a 38" dresser, and if a gallon of water stays ph stable for me several days at a time then it should be np in a medium sized res.
