PPM and PH Rising

[AMG]

What you can do if you have the time and interest is to try lower it 200ppms from where you at. Look at the plant and the numbers, see what happens.... Then try raise 200ppms and again, look at the numbers and the health of the plant. You will solve the problem and you will also learn to know your plant and understand what happens for future grows.

If one thing doesn’t work, do the opposite, that’s how I learn.

PPM continues to rise and PH continues to fall. I didn't mark the water level after I removed some nute water and added fresh RO water but I did today. Today the water level appears to not have moved.
PPM: 770
PH: 5.4

So if PPM is rising and PH is falling and water level is staying the same does that mean I should add more fresh water to lower the PPM or add more nutrient water to increase the PPM?

ppm rising means plants want less food.
Too much food can affect pH, so fixing food might help stabilize pH.

Recalibrated my EC/PPM and PH meters again.

I did a new res change with fresh RO and nutes.

AN Rhino Skin - 2ml/L
AN B-52 - 1ml/L
AN Nirvana - 1ml/L
AN Bud Candy - 1ml/L
AN Big Bud - 1ml/L
AN Sensi Bloom (Base nutes) - 1ml/L
Botanicare Hydroguard - 2ml/Gallon

Water Level in Res with all pumps on - 17cm

New Readings:
PPM x700 = 550-560
EC = 0.8
PH = 6.0
Water Temp = 65-66 °F (18 °C)
Room Temp = 77 °F (25 °C)
Humidity = 65%
VPD = 1.11 - Optimal

I have some plants about the same age as yours, and they are wanting about the same ppm as you are now giving.

I'm a little worried about all those supplements you use.
Things like "voodoo juice" etc, can cause underfeeding of essential nutrients.
Supplements can fool us into thinking ppm is fine when it's really lacking in basic nutes.

I use the 1-3 part fertilizers GenHydro Flora or Megacrop, and nothing else, and plants do great.

I was given this and has helped a lot in my dwc

I am no longer using Voodoo Juice or any of the other beneficial bacteria besides Hydroguard now.
I do agree it is all a lot and a pain to deal with. I plan on doing Megacrop my next go around. Have heard nothing but good things about it.
