Ive heard from people that you shouldnt use pvc pipe to make bowls or use that shit to drink from because they caot the inside with some chemicals. When i looked into your journal the first thing that cought my eye is how you made your own containers red flag shot up and then i saw that your using pvc pipe. If you continue to have problems maybe its because your using pvc piping idk just saying might help if you switch to something like those little nursey sqaure pots that are like 1 liter. I think it might even be cheaper than pvc pipe those pots are like 50 cents a piece or cheaper.

The grow thread is listed in the first post, and as I am growing flood to waste passive hydro I really need to keep the PH around 5.8 and that is the problem...I cannot make it stay down....

@ iLuvIndica
Indeed I have also heard similar about PVC piping however I made sure to get food grade piping and not stormwater piping.
But of course it is possible that the PVC is part of the problem but I really dont think it is as I have had this issue with other containers.

Since I changed to flood to waste is when these issues started to appear, I cannot seem to keep the PH below 6 and as the grow progresses the plants and PH get worse and worse.
All the problems only start to appear after the plants are sexed, between day 20 and day 30 is when most of the problems start getting out of hand...

I am still experimenting with flood to waste with Perlite/Vermiculite and Coco as I really suck ass at soil growing and dont like it

/ EDIT: It seems that the 75mm pipe I got is storm water pipe....but I don't think it will matter that much...we will see.
