Try to avoid organic matter in hydros setup !

So I've been getting the ph down to about 5.6 but then it goes back up to about 6.0-6.3 within about an hour or two.., does this mean my girls eating the nutes which makes the ph go up or is it the lemon juice I'm using just "wearing off" "breaking down" or whatever.. I realize I should have already had the proper supplies when I started the plant but it just didn't workout that way..plus I couldn't wait,impatience got the better of me... Oh and I hear you guys about organic nutes leaving all kinds of stuff in the res.Aerogardens come with organic nutrients that also totally lack any micro nutrient or atleast they don't put them on the bottle.

I suggest u use HNO3 during veg and H3PO4 during bloom to adjust ph negative, KOH to get it up !
Also take the time to let the ph stabelize when you measure.
if you adjust ph you should measure 2 min later and see if its still the same.
Also temperature increase changes your ph, so if the nutrient solution goes up your ph changes!
Calibrate your device every 14 days !

So I changed out the res this morning and I used rain water plus 4ml of nutes and that seems a perfect 5.6,I was using the spring water that comes from the tap here its high in minerals so I thought that would be good but it's just too many dissolved solids plus 7 ph. The rain water is 6 so my problems seem solves until my nutes and gear come in the mail.
Plus I found a dead gnat or fruitfly floater and mother of viniger growing(and who knows what else)hence the res change..lol

Update

So I thought I'd post an update and another question. All signs of nutrient lockout are slowly fading or gone....new problem:this girl doesn't seem to be showing pre flower..no hairs..the other two seeds from the 3pack showed flowers at about 23 days or so if I remember correctly. When should I get worried? And does anyone have experience with Attitude replacing faulty autoflowers?

 

[Icenitribe]

If anyone respondes they get first crack at identifying an Indica from Pakistan opposed to an American strain.do have them both and love them equally ..but I love sativa more.

Damn you people are hardcore..which is which

So I was sick off my ass for two days and everything has gone down hill ...only plus is that my plant shows flower but is having serious root issues .."spotted dick" has to be from the root slime and fungus I found,these could be the last pictures...I live in a Victorian house built about 1867...I could probably grow mushrooms on the wallpaper,not much I can do about that.

So I think I'm having root rot issues...I'm now using GH floraseries nutrients and with the flora blend&floralicious+ the solution is kind of light tea brown but I was having browning roots before I started those nutes. I'm giving it a soak in h2o2 in old solution along with the floraKleen stuff and with give my res a good 90%isopropl alcohol cleaning and give it new solution..how bad do these roots look? I'm used to growing in soil so rarely see them also is there any thing else I can do to keep this bacteria/fungi away from my roots? I'm going to put a couple drops of superthrive and rapid root in the res too,anyhow she still looks better than she did. I'm starting to think she'll make it another month and 10 days then chop chop,but her sisters went much longer..like 90 days and they were still putting out new flowers so maybe 2 months more.
