...Lucas says to use the "hard water" if your tap is above 400ppm I believe...to prevent the micro from locking up.

...good deal, your tap is fine bro...with the 1k, I'd drop at them minimum 0-5-10 (Grow-Micro-Bloom) or maybe the full strength Lucas @ 0-8-16 in my res...that's good light, and they'll responde really well either way with no issues, promise.

...correct, your pH will lower as the EC drops toward the end of each res change....which as stated, is a good thing.Pro Tip: stable pH is not always best.
regards,
EDIT:...I haven't used my pH pens for about 3 years. <--- no lie.
EDIT (AGAIN!) ...I'm wrong here, the the pH raises as superstoner points out, I'm bass ackwards sometimes when I get too baked...sorry fellas.

as nutrients are used the ppm will drop and the ph will rise. think about it. you have 7.0 tap water and add nutes to it, it brings it down to say 6.0. so how can you say when ec or ppm drops ph drops also?

...my chemicals are acidic, and my tap is alkline....as my chemicals are absorbed by the plants the pH seems to lower in my res.
...I haven't used my pH pens for awhile since I haven't had any issues, so it's hard to say if that is still goin on
...not about to debate about that, so. Good day.
EDIT: ^^^ I'm a dumbass, I'm backwards here....ph raises, not lowers.

fill us in on your nutes and water because that is exactly opposite of all nutes i have seen. and even if that is so you are giving bad advise based on something that seems to be only in your grow.

...I should add that I tapoff my res with tap water....straight out of the tap up until res change.
EDIT: tap pH = 7.4

I'll offer a somewhat dissenting experience/opinion. I used GH three-part and had lockoutlike symptoms at 170ppm indicated. Once I went to RO, things improved. cn
