ph question?

10 days into my first hydro grow from clones, and everything is looking great. I just wanted to know if this normal. My tap water is around 29 to 35 ppm with 9 ph. When I mix my nutes, I,m using gh micro, and bloom. My ph drops to around 4.8 in 24 hours. That's with or without plants. When I use ph up to get ph about 5.8 in about 3 days its back down to 4.8. Should my ph hold at 5.8 or is this normal, and I should I just ph up every 3 or 4 days. Thanks a lot in advance.

9 pH is a little high. tap water typically is a pH 7. pH does drop over time especially in a recirculating setup, use pH up to get pH 5.5 or 6.3 {watever you use} every few hours and it will even out the pH and should stay consistent

No offense, but pull your head out of your ass! Then try to share relevant information!

To OP: Your PH is dropping significantly due to you WAY overfeeding! Cut the nutes in half and then see what your PH does! The actual plants should be affecting the PH, and not the nutes so much!

If you want real help, then share all relevant information to your setup and grow. Until then, you will get people like player giving you total BS responses.

You're using GH micro and bloom but no grow, doesn't the formular call for all three in given measurements? ( I'm assuming you're using the GH flora series ), also are we talking soil or hydro?
