BioBizz Confusion

So i have a 30 gallon res with air stones and a float that my RO fills. My PH is around 2.5-3.2 after i add my nutrients. I am adding ridiculous amounts of PH UP and it just feels wrong and non beneficial for the plants. There are also times where i will add less nutrients than the time before, but my PPM readings will be 200+ higher than when I used less nutes. I am using the same nutrients every time, I just adjust amounts. I am truly confused by this. Also, I am finding that if i follow the nute chart for biobizz, my PPM's will be off the charts. Can any of you kind people give me some insight on this?

btw, This is my first post on here and i have never been part of a forum. Thanks for the help.

That's an extremely low starting ph. How much and what are you feeding. Like all 5 bottles? How much of each are you adding? Are you using ro?

I am using RO system. Sits at around 5.0PH in the rez before adding anything. I am Using the Grow(15ml per gal.) Fish(10ml per gal.) Algi-MIC(15ml per gal) Cal-Mag(3ml per gal.) Silica(2 ml per gal.) in Veg. I am pretty close to recommended doses on each. I run lower than recommended because PPM's are so high if I run Full dose. Supposedly BioBizz will PH the water on its own. When I add it to the RO water though, it will drop 2-3 full points.

My Understanding is that Biobizz is a organic line. Being 100% organic would require Microbiology that is only available in the soil, in order to breakdown the organic matter and make it available to the plants. Not sure how all that goes along with Hydro...

I would try adding half tap water, half RO water to get some buffering capacity from the tap water, then see how it affects your PH. Lots of organic liquid nutes are extremely acidic to act as a preservative.

Thanks a lot! I will try it out!
