hi i just added nutrients to my water without adjusting the ph first. the ph was at 8 when i added the nutrients. should i dump it out and make a new batch or can i leave it as is? and i havent feed the plants yet. thanks for your time

I like to add nutes and then check PH anyway. The nutes I use drop the PH to just the right level and have buffers that keep it there.

im going to change the water before i feed. but does high ph effect nutrients? i know it effects the plant and how it takes nutrients but does it effect nutrients by itself?

it doesnt effect the nutrients. but who cares about the effect on the nutrients. ph being too high will prevent the uptake of some of the nutrients and ph being too low will prevent the uptake of the other nutrients
