ph balance

[Buddhalovah]

Does the ph balance the water change when beginning to flower? Right now I have it around 6.5-6.8.

I keep my hydro ph from 5.5-6.0 Try my best to keep it right at 5.8 as best I can. During flowering I've noticed my ph flucuates a lot more than it did during veg so I am using larger resevoir to hold more water, to keep the ph less sensitive to change

^^^very good advice. bigger=less fluctuation.^^^

maybe more details would help, lol...

Lol ok. Well idk what you mean by does it change. Do you change the ph level when watering during flower? I don't realy know. I would think you'd keep it the same ph. I only do hydro

I have seen some "experts" post of raising it as flower progresses to more around 6.7-6.8. Rationale being (a) your lime is gone and that brings it up when using lower ph water (b) the maximum intake for individual nutrients that help flower. With that said, I don't know the truth to it and have never experimented to see.

i remember a guy that raised his ph in flower. he did it to make it easier for the plants to take in those nutes needed in flower...
