I added some cal mag not a ton just trying to let them sip now, also PH was low 5.5 ish so I brought that back to 5.8 ish and I increased my air movement I added a fan and I am leaving cabinet partially open RH at 47%. TDS right around 1k. Are the flower nutes more acidic? This is my first major swing in PH?
1st grow help!

Greetings, if you are referring to the pH swinging, that is s a combination of bio activity, D-Oxygen, buffer agents. It will swing daily and most times it down. You just need to learn what your setup does, you can control pH swing's with air bubbles.
Mine swings up but I still check daily when running a res, if I want a strict range. If not I let it swing between 5.8-6.2.
Furthermore ca:mg is the most common def in Cannabis growing in water and Coco.
Coco has issues with P loading as well. Hydro doesn't. Hydroguard is your friend too.
Also r/h in veg can be 70's with out issue as long as air movement and ventilation is adequate. In flower is when you want 45-53%

Last night I went trough my system to find that my air hose was crimped and not agitating the water so I fixed that OH is at 5.9 and purple steaks are vanishing !
Thank you!Good work!

Just a little strong on the nutes. Water next and reduce the next nutes next time.
*Because I add egg shells and worm poop to all containers they need no nutes till budding. I note they have minor depleated spots but this is okay. As long as no bugs, mold and mildew are present...no worries. Watch the humidity...to high= all the issues. Too low= dry and slow to grow herbs. (The humidity is a symtom of the heat fluctuating. Keep the heat regulated and they should flurish). The thing we don't see is how far the lights are from the cannopy. "Herbs can actually get burnt from LEDs, just not nearly as bad. Keep with the basic guidelines; 18-24deg celcius for hybrids. Cooler for indicas, warmer for sativas and keep that humidity correct.
