PH problem with DWC.

[Sammy]

Started growing again after about 30 years. I tried to deep water culture kept having pH issue, switched to soil had great success with soil now I'm trying to go back with my deep water culture after two 1 to 2 days the pH goes from 5.5. To 7 plus. I'm using Sensi grow newts water temperature 71 degrees plenty of oxygen any help out there???Thanks Sammy

Do you have an air stone in your reservoir? If so does it just blast the bubbles up. I ask because I've noticed when I stir the crap out of my nute bucket the ph rises.

I'm shooting in the dark here....

I was in the same dark room as you but you could not see us. I have read the same thing. So far all I have done is flush the res. 1 time a week with Phed water and nutrients. I have only checked my PH after mixing the change mix . but before the res. flush itself. Between changes,I only add plain Pre PHed water nothing more. I do this to protect from too much salts build up . So far my plants live you can see them in my thread. Just remember do not try anything I am as you can tell by my forum name on the left[{

Sensi grow has "ph perfect" technology. It should balance your ph levels assuming your water is not crazy high or low ph. I use the 3 part from advanced nutrients with the same ph perfect stuff. My water starts at 8.4 (tap water. Yes 8.4....) and it drops to 6.3 after adding nutes.

If you're just using the Sensi grow and water it shouldn't be rising like that. Something is causing your ph to drift up.

wow 8.4! You must live inside the "exclusion zone".

I had to adjust pH every day before I started canna nutes but they stabilize in the 5.5-6.5 range.
