Hello icmagers ,
My ph updrifting adventure is over and Japanfreakier is the man .
Yesterday i was tired to chasing my ph with ph down and i decide to
add some more nutes to my solution based on the Weak nutes=little buffer capacity of Japanfreakier.
in my 8-4-2 GMB per gallon solution of 60 liters (almost 16 gallons) i add 24-12-6 ml of nutes and this is it my ph is stable and my ppm is downdrifting very very slow.
Conclusion this rule works
EC up, pH down is too rich
EC down, pH up is too lean
EC flat, pH flat is balanced BUT, a bad thing to maintain as no one pH reading allows proper absorption of all nutes. A small pH swing (and matching EC swing in opposite direction) is good for you.
Finaly closing maybe i need a ec meter calibration cause i am geting 1,8 EC for lighter recipe that others take readings of 1,6 EC.
Thanks everyone for your help and i hope this thread help some more newbs like me to
understand the relation of ph and ec movements.
