I’m telling you dude it’s not that important. I take and put water into a little jug, then put a cap full of PH down in it, and then add the nurturance. You’re not going to over adjust your PH, because you can’t. Trust me dude I wouldn’t give you bunk info. You just give the plants what they need the order in how you do it isn’t pertinent to how the plants are going to do.

I can see the anxiety that you have, you don’t want to kill your plants and I respect that, but just remember that hydro is easy, that is all you got to tell yourself. As long as you don’t try to rewrite the book of growing you’re going to be successful in your growing ventures.

Cool cool. Thanks man. Gotta spread the rep around or I'd have more for ya haha. I'm gonna go fux with my water now. Be sure and check out the journal.

On another note though I added a little ph down to the res and topped off with some phd water and they grew more overnight than they have in the last week lol

you can get a pet store fish tank R/O system for about $50 or so.
i get about 3PPM and 7.0 PH every time.
i'm on city water, loaded with chlorine and ammonia.

just a heads up on that.

Useing too much ph up or down can cause adverse effects on the plants so use a ph chart or even better a digi one to get the ph correct.You will only normaly need one ph ajuster by adding water this will bring the ph up or down but this all depends if your water is hard or soft.......................tyke.....................................................................................................................................
