Greetings everyone, first my setup :
I have a 1.2m/1.2m/2m grow tent ( i think it`s 4/4/6 or smth) with 2x600 lights in cool tubes
I am using the aeroponic system from growTOOL (german)
plenty of ventilation ( i cool my lights separately from tent ventilation )
the room is dedicated for plants with good envoierment (25C/60% max rh)
now my problem that has persisted over 3 or 4 grows and is driving me MAD
whatever i do to my ph it drops rapidly (in less then 12 hours it goes from 5.8 to 3.8 or smth (4.0-3.5) )
when i change solution there is no problem for 1 or 2 days but after that it all goes nuts
i have tried changing nutes i went through every nute one by one (replaced booster, didn`t help, replaced aditives same shit, replaced base nutrients again NOTHING)
my res takes 180l of water and it would seem stupid for me to do a res change every 1-2 days, it takes out the point of having a hydro/aero system
i was thinking maybe not enough oxygen dissolved in water i got the biggest air pump I could get my hands on (one of those huge ones with 10 exit ports or smth) and currently have 10 airstones all over my res bottom aerating the hell out of that solution.
i set the drain hose to take water to the other end of the res so i have optimum circulation and again optimum aeration
still the same problem i have to add 3-5 ml of ph+ pro (20% KOH) to the sollution every 10 hours or so to keep the ph in a decent range.
oh and i thought maybe someone was fooling around with my grow even if it would be impossible for me to hear, so i put a second door to my room with a stronger and better lock.
the problem is still there and the system was expensive and is very well crafted yet, if i don`t manage to find the source of the problem i think i`ll burn the grow tool and piss on it and go with flood and drain or something else
p.s : i was using hesy hydro with canna boost and hammerhead
first switched hammerhead with hesy pk 13/14 than canna boost with hesy boost now hesy boost and pk 13/14 with plagron green sensation and now i`m using general hydroponics flora nutes with plagron green sensation
p.p.s i was using hesy enzimes but now i use no enzymes still no change
p.p.p.s i have cleaned the system well many times rinced-it perfectly so that`s not an issue.
please if you have any ideea that might help me just say-it, if you need some more info just ask, PLEASE HELP ME this is my most frustrating grow problem ever
