Thanks good info to know. I did check it and it was close to perfect like the last reservoir I mixed up. Where I started screwing up with the last one was I was running a water pump inside the reservoir 24/7 which was doing two things, it was heating up the water and it was aerating the mix as well causing the pH to go up to which I was adding pH down. I now have it on a timer that turns on for 15 minutes twice a day to mix things up and filter the mix a little and the temp and pH did not move after that. So I won't be checking it again. I might check when changing it next time just to see, but I am putting the pH up and down away.
Looking good.... they are a little on the slow side, but looking good.
Re the water pump. I have been running a water pump in my Reservoirs for the last 2 grows... without it effecting the PH at all.
When using a water pump that is set correctly, no additional air is added, PH remains the same (as opposed to airstones - that do raise the PH). It should be set to just break the surface tension of your res.
So maybe it is Nutrient based, far more likely. Especially when using a bit of this and a bit of that. You only need one of them to react under stimulation.
Hard to believe they went into the ground on the same day. Next time I'm popping the seed right in the coco.
