I have had no problems with an ebb and flow system, which is fairly stable. Temperature does not seem to be problem. Went from 5.5 to 8.3 in 24 hours.

Did someone say you were using lemon juice to lower your PH?

They may have said that, but only DWV. Just dropped ph to 5 (with DWV, but less than I have used), and will see what happens tomorrow. Maybe it is normalizing.

Lordjin was right!! It was the solution being to warm. My clones were so screwed up, that they effected the water for about 48 hours, but now PH is stable.
