After mixing my nutrients I had to PH up from 5.2ph to 6.2ph. After 24 hours I had a 8.0ph so I had to adjust my PH down. At this point my water is still clear. 24 hours after I added my PH down my PH was stable, but my water is slightly cloudy. I am using RO water that is at 30 ppm with 7.0 ph. This water is stored in a clean mason jar, in a cool dark place.
1.Is this normal or does this sound like my PH down has been contaminated?
2. I also noticed that when I first mixed my nutrients in RO water, 30ppm with 7.0PH, my ph was very low, 5.2ph. I adjusted my PH up to my target of 6.2PH. After 24 hours this mixture had a very high ph of 8.0ph. This mixture is the same as above, stored in a clean mason jar, in a cool dark place. Does this make any sense? Would you all suggest that I mix my nutrients and let it sit before I adjust my PH? If so how long should I wait before I start to adjust my PH?
