I have used 55 gal ebb and flo system for 12 or so waterings. I use rockwool and hydroton. I mixed how I wanted it and PH is where I chose. Question is: Why has my res PH,PPM,EC not fluctuated but just a LITTLE ??? Lets say 1110 to 1120 and 6.3 to 6.4. Small changes ???? Help me tune this in I am new to hydro. I am pretty knowledgeable with what I have going but need to get a few things tuned in. Come on by and check it out and I hope to get some love on this question.

 | Do you have a journal? How are the plants responding?

| A few quick things I noticed. 1. Your PH seems high for Hydro. Hydro should be 5.6 to 6.2 PH. 2. Your running a nice large 55gallon reservoir which is great. The larger the reservoir the smaller the changes will be generally. It allows for a larger buffer zone. 3. if the EC is going up that means the water is evaporating faster then the plants can drink. Creating a higher concentration of dissolved solids to water ratio. Generally I have to add 6-8gallons of water to my 45gallon reservoir every 3-4 days. I started with Hempy buckets thinking it was the easiest system to learn and use. I can't believe how much easier Ebb and Flow is. | ||
