Ok so Im not really a novice when it comes to growing as I have grown plenty of good stuff and gotten good results...
But I have been noticing that after I make my solution to about 1250ppm and 5.9 ph, about 2-3 days later ppm has gone up to 1400 and ph was down to 4.5
Are the plants only drinking the water there-for increasing ppm and lowering ph (as water seems to be more acidic then the core nutrients)...
Is this normal as I never really checked it before, but I have to keep adding water and silica blast to correct the ppm and ph.
Is this due to nutrient lockout? maybe rootbound? they are in 3-5 gallon containers with perlite #3.
This is happening in flower, but also happening in veg as well.
TIA.
