Res is 12 gallons. I use general hydro ph up , ppm is 300 and theyre drinking more water than nutes.
What would be the isse if the planta are drinkin more water than nutes?
Ec too high?

Vader og, oceangrown genetics, solved my problem. I was getting to much air into the system. I removed a air stone and one of the air pumps and within 15 min ph began to rise and plant is eating. Thought I would share this with everyone so if anyone else runs into the problem they’ll be able to try this to fix it! Cheers guys
anyone think it might be a nutrient lockout? I just changed my res and have 80 ppm but ph is still dropping and ppm is staying steady. Would nutrient lockout have anything to do with ph dropping?
I find that very strange. I've been doing DWC for almost 20 years and never ran into air volume having any effect on pH. For years I used a small air pump with a 12" stone in Rubbermaid tubs then got larger pumps and went to two stones. I would set my pH at around 5.5 and over three days it would rise to 6.2 or so and I'd knock it down to 5.5 again with conc. sulfuric acid. Then I got pH Perfect nutes and retired my pH pen.![]()
i was thinking if he was using CO2 but that would lower pH
i've never had my pH rise unless I added tap water
I do know that if it were to be done it'd have to be in an unoccupied building with a fire suppression system.
