PH is set 5.8 e.c set 1.2
I come back next day and pH is 6.5-7
EC is 2. Which is confusing because pH going up means they're eating but the EC is going up anyone else experience this.

Dwc system
Dechlorinated tap water with vitamin C
Southern AG Garden friendly fungicide
Raw enzymes
Grow more Mendocino 20-20-20
Apogee meter at 500par

and if you are new to DWC, i'd bubble your water for 24 hours or so to get rid of the chlorine. Skip the Vitamin C and skip the RAW enzymes too.

southern ag and base nutes should be all you need.

When I used a strictly nitrate veg nutrient, I needed daily nitric to hold pH in check. Hydro

My question was why is EC rising and ph rising... Again both rising. But i found reason.
Device needed to be recalibrated and oddly the southern ag gff also raises EC, weird.

Could very well be. I never measured using EC and i also never used high nutes in dwc. Always under 400 ppm. I think I'll go back to ppm

As @rkymtnman says , the ph imbalance is the difference in the mix from the h20 being used up and not the nutes which inbalances the mix that once was ok.

Also as he says rising ec is too high , to strong.

Good luck with your grow.

Its was the new monitor error. Had the soup double checked with another device and everything was great.
Far as raw enzymes they're working
Working great. Growth was being stunted added the enzymes 2-3 day they're praying again
