So theres no minerals for the buffers to grab onto IDK.I cant remember but a search will bring up what others have done with.AN.
I think most think its over priced,Ive never tried it.

Rvd the ph issue, its like you're describing my current bucket issues. The crash after 48, I've noticed it tied into ppms not being right. In process of trying to figure it out and dial it in

I'm thinking it's more the fault of my nutrients but I have to start a new run to test. Also I wasn't sure if my boiler running had anything to do with this because I turned down my heater in my lung room at the same time I was having issues. I have read of similar people having my issues and PPMs not having a factor. For example several people said oh you're under feeding others would say oh you're overfeeding. My plants are happy that's all that matters but I think I'll switch nutrient line next time and see what happens

Great. Sitting at 750 ppm and adding 3ml each part A and B nutes to water every other day. Set at 750 they lose about 25-30 ppm and half gallon water per day. My buddy says I'm underfeeding since I'm at week 7. But I'm reading the plants and they aren't deficient. The tip burn showed up on all my plants even at 1000ppm (.5 scale). Went to 800 and finally 750 and I like this zone. Buckets holding pH steady and plants eating/drinking. My buddy says since I'm underfeeding I won't have the bud density he does hes telling me I need to have my buckets at 1200ppm

so I FINALLY. Have it dialed in. The plants are thriving and I just added a mini split for optimal environment control.

weeks 1-2 360ppm(250ppm is cal-mag) ro water
Week 3 480ppm
Week 4 500 ppm
Every week after week 2 jump up 120ppm until week 7 the. Flush

my plants have never looked so great. Feels good to finally get the girls dialed in. It took me a long time to figure it out but now I can play with it to maximize yield and quality. Remember fellas with aero less is better. Don’t use additives until your stuff is dialed in and you will win!
