have grown a few different times, but continue to have same problem. Heres my setup:
growing hydro, with a 5 gallon bucket and bubbler in the bucket. I have 2 rooms, 1 for veg. and other for bloom, with a 400 hps lite in each room. Temp. hangs around 72 degrees. I use general hydroponics nutes(micro, grow, bloom, nectar).
Heres the problem and it only happens during blooming: i keep getting sever nute burn and i think its the acid i add to plain water to bring down the ph. my process of adding water to the bucket SUCKS! every 10 days i start with new water and add nutes to the fresh bucket, but the problem is what to do between i change water. I have been adding the ph down to plain water in a separate bucket than pour that water in the the plant bucket, but it seems like the plant just sucks up the acid which of course hurts the plant.
hope someone has a MUCH better plan of refilling the buckets!
Thanks
