It may be pricey. But that $70 5 liter bottle will treat a 105 gallon rez (mine) for a year. That's $11 per grow. Not too bad in the breakdown.

Day 16 Flowering.
I've decided to drain and re-fill my reservoir, with much hesitation... My pH has been dropping fast, with no explanation whatsoever.
I use Lucas formula with different types of system elsewhere without doing a rez change at all, but I really can't come up with much else.
I am adding 200ml of GH pH up every 2-3 days now just to maintain proper pH levels.
Keep in mind that:
1)my root systems are perfectly healthy on every plant
2)I only use lucas +h202 +zone (zone and h202 have no nutrient profile)
3)plants look perfect

Day 19 Flowering
Changed out the rez 3 days ago, and the ph swing has returned to normal (climbing ever so slowly). A big shoutout to Medicalm for the help. Maybe DWC requires a rez change more often than ebb/flow or drip?
Either way, it got me perfect growth in that system for 32 days without a rez change, so I'm thinking every 3 weeks to be safe ought to be perfect. Write this down lucas users
. It'll at least save you money on pH up lol.

Day 22 Flowering.
Not much going on here. pH is slowly climbing like a normal grow after I changed out the rez. The nug density is pretty disappointing compared to my ebb/grow system with clay pebbles (compared to day 22 flowering over there). I don't really know what to chalk that up to. I'm thinking maybe since I was running lower PPM at the grow I'm journaling here. Could also be due to the low pH on a couple days back when it was dropping like crazy, but I doubt it.
The plants look perfectly healthy, so I can't complain too much. Pics attached.
