Would my PH go from 5.8.....to 4.8 in one day if I had the beginning of root rot or slime....or would it go up....

Is there anybody that runs DWC with drip rings on here that has had root rot...if so what did your PH do....up or down or both?

Either too high a nute concentration, or could be algae.

Also how big of a rez? anything under 15 gallons will drift like crazy.

Is it flowering? the roots excrete waste during flower.

Someone with a more concrete answer will come hopefully...not a dwc guy.

I really don't now whats up with my plants...they seam to still be growing...the root production slowed way down last week...when I noticed the PH dropping...so I have been changing nutes every day ...I moved my Ph to 6.2 and one day later it is at 5.0....

I can see new roots growing now that I change nutes every day....My main nute barrell has a stable PH...It is just crashing in my bubble buckets....

I have read on here that the PH goes up with root rot....I can see some darker brown on my roots right under the net pot for an inch or so the rest looks ok a little staining from GH nutes....but OK....thanks

There is something in there that is causing it to go down....
stripping and cleaning everything may be in order
