Rapid pH shift

What EC are you running? I use PH as an indicator to change out res, when I need to add up it's time, once every two weeks at the start then near end it's every 5 - 6 days.

My Hannah meter took a shit on me so I'm currently using my back up which is a Primo and only reads in ppm. I just changed my water out and after the nutes went in (GH flora series and calmag) it was sitting at about 325 or 330. pH was 5.6

That's what I run for rooted clones but my water is 200 :(. I also never go much beyond 750 in peak flower. After I started to chill my water things also stayed more constant as well (best thing I've done). I do run Vitanimo as it seems to stop the blotching I get due to water make up.

So far she isn't acting stressed from the nutes levels.. after I topped the water up today I took a ppm reading and it was still sitting at about 320.

Just an update for anyobe who is interested.... the mad pH swing has finally settled down in the last few days. On the down side I think I slightly over fed her, but she is working her way through it and I've been topping up with only water to get the ppm down. Anyway, here she is 14 days after emerging from her seed casing (took this last night)... sorry for the burple lighting but I figured since I wasn't asking for help it would be ok just this once. ... lol
