how did you come across the light and decide to buy it? And is that quantum boards?
The light comes from ChilLED Tech. I ran across this when I was watching Growmau5 on youtube. He was always explaining things and was really "digging" into what actually made his gardens grow. I never understood all of his discussions but he had me listening to him when ever he posted. So I came to trust his opinion as I have watched and listened to many here. Anyway he was really into heavy stuff about lighting and what makes a good/great LED. One time he had on Vitaly from ChilLED Tech and was really impressed with this light. Growmau5 then went to work for Vitaly and that is when I was getting ready to start my 1st grow. So I bought on trust and faith. BOY am I happy I did. I encourage all to take a look. They are not cheap in price to be clear. But it was one of my best purchase and I can not say enough.
 
I see no more than a .2 drift in ph with megacrop. not an amount to fuss over. Saw a lot more than that with other nutes! Last grow I never even bothered to check the res ph, it just wasn't needed. IMO, it seems from my experience that messing with RES ph causes more problems than actually exist. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

:pop:

Trying to keep the PH in the top-off constant for two weeks without adjustment is a tall order. I have not been able to do that. Keep us posted on how you do.

Well this is good news for me. I do not plan to be gone for two weeks but in Dec I maybe out that long. So I am happy to get your results. Very Happy. It is because of you and @HemiSync that I switched to MegaCrop. I checked my rez PH once and freaked out and tried to make it "right". Well I failed at that attempt and will not test PH again. If something is wrong the ladies they will tell me. Thanks again. Also a big shout out to Man o green @Mañ'O'Green thank you too for all of your "testing" and trying things. I learn so much from you all.
 
Here's what I have noticed. I made a batch, ph'd to 6.5 and left it undisturbed in the bucket for 2 days. the ph had risen to 6.7 at 4 days still the same. I ph'd it back to 6.5 and it stayed there for a week in the bucket. So, I believe if staying at 6.5 ( or whatever you use ) seems important make your solution a couple days ahead of time, then adjust. I don't bother based on this anecdotal test. I may even get brave and venture a DWC grow with mega. I HATE DWC because of all the damned fussing trying to maintain PH and for a home grow, automation is too expensive.
then again, I love my auto pots! so the whole DWC thing may just never happen lol
