    Hey guys I have a ph question, I am on spring water it comes out of the ground behind my house. It’s always a ph of around 6.3 but when I am my nutrients (new millennium) I’ll try growdots next I promise. But anyway my ph drops to around 4.7 with nutrients. Do I need to bring my ph back up to 6.2? My plants have been growing like crazy do far buy some do have purple stems. Would it be more detrimental to start changing ph halfway through a run? I just coukd afford a decent ph pen. Thanks yall

    Yeah, adjust it back up. You’ll have problems at such a low level. The change won’t hurt them.

    Doesn’t matter ph level of water before nutrients. Maybe ppms, thats why I like RO I always start at 0 ppms.

    Before you feed your plants. ALWAYS ph. 6.0-6.2 when feeding.
