wow...that sucked. My comp. just got back online...got some kind of virus lastnight shortly after my last post. Had to restore everything...lost all my pics. too. Oh well...my plants are okay...thats all that matters..lol.
Back to the PH...I found some sodium hydroxide drops in my fishtank PH kit. The PH in my DWC went up to 5.5-5.8 overnight, so its good now. My ebb & flow res. PH is always at 6.0...it's just the DWC that keeps going down, and the water temp is alttle warmer too. This is kinda my 1st DWC grow..so still got a lot to learn. I made a DWC power cloner last month...got 10 outta 12 to root in 7 days.:mrgreen: I almost gave up on cloning untill I tried this method. Anyways , they did so good in the DWC cloner that I decided to grow them out in DWC. So far so good. See ya
Peace

most tap water will be between 6.5 and 8.5, as Vento hinted the easiest solution would be adding more water.

Thats what I was going to say, "sodium hydroxide" :) I was looking into it a while back, I just ended up diluting with tap water but whatever works!! I'd like to try that cloning method, so far I'm 2/4 getting clones to root and then 0/4 on getting them to survive lol.. Just took WAY to long! Plus I wan't to break into the hydro game soon and I'd like to start with the clones.. Good luck on your grow!

Sucks abotu the computer btw, I've been there..
