Ive never had gnat problems fingers crossed lol, what type of lights are you running?

I like the structure of that white widow. Looks like some killer smoke. Definitely keep posting results, I'd love to see the outcome.

Awesome, looking good brother. Did you ever find out what the ph swing was caused by.

Interesting, I will keep that in mind. Thanks for your input.

So what's your advice, 24/7

I'm try to figure out why the air stones would affect the ph. I have heard if you run co2 and air stone that it can be a problem from the co2 filtering into the water but that I've heard about it.

There ya go, I'm betting it being better then what your dealing with. Definitely post results.

Hmmm, yeah its either the air stones or just because your starting off with high ph like me. Definitely one of the 2 since roots haven't been in contact. Also like you said maybe the perlite but I've known perilite to be neutral as well. Let me know if you find out. I'd be interested to know to...

I dont think I have it anymore but this might help

That's why or would be my guess. I had same problems. My ph from tap was around 8. I didn't start getting a stable ph balance until plants were about 3 weeks old with healthy roots. I found an article along time ago about as your resivore level drops along with ppms you start getting your...

What's the ph of your water before nuts and adjustment?

My ppm is around 40 from the tap. I forgot to mention alot of my ppms is from calmag, roughly 300.

If I had a pump that could trickle, I'd probably give that a try for sure. I usually stay around 400 to 600ppm for the first 2 weeks of veg. Then increase 200ppm a week but never exceeding 1200ppm during flower. Not sure if that's normal but works for me.

How many droppers do you run in total?

I would like to try that, I've just never tried. Also my pump is 600watts and it was $400 so I'd hate to burn it up. Did you use Dutch buckets or hempy?
