just checked the PH in my res and its way down which has never been an issue. Can I use spa ph up till I get to the shop tomorrow or do I need to be concerned for one day?

You should be fine. That is if your PH has only been low for a while....It takes quite a few days for ph issues to really take hold and fuck up your plants. I know, low batteries in my PH pen caused me to kill a God Bud plant 3 weeks from harvest. Took about 5 days till I realized the problem by than the damage was done. If you make a trip to the hydro store your top priority tomorrow, you should be fine. If you tap water is higher in PH, add some extra straight tap water to your rez......

photo.JPGI get it I just can't keep it....lol. The PH is up, then its down, then its up again, maybe I am checking to much. If I dont check it wont change right lol. Anyways I drain and refilled the res. today and will add nutes again for the third time in two weeks. I did order a better meter today so that might help, its a hanna. I do have a pile to learn I guess, I'll keep reading. The girls do seem happy as they are now double the size of the pic and they were planted on sept 23th. It is basically a flood and drain system I built for $120. I'm not sure about pump schedule though, I have it turn on every 30min and it fills to about 1.5" below top. Should it be a longer off time?
