general organics used in reservoir?

[tleaf jr.]

Hey guys, I have a question for all the general organic users out there. How are ypu guys maintaining a stable ph in your res? Ive found that after phing my solution to 6.5 it raises to 8.0 after a day of areation. Sk what are you guys doing for res ph stability using GO..

okay update time, after adding the whole GO line which includes:
Bio Thrive- base
Bio marine- micro bacter.
bio weed- sea weed extract
Bio root- shit for roots lol
Diamond black- humic acids
CaMg+

at the recommended rates and checking the pH I see it registering at +/- 5.5 .... after adding 4mls of pot. silica the pH was raised to +/- 6.5 which is what I usually feed with. upon checking on them this morning they seemed to like the solution...Sooo now we will see if the solution can be maintained in a res with a proper pH. I wont be bubbling the mix, instead I will be employing a waterfall effect. Hopefully the pH will raise to the appropriate level after being in the res a day or so. O and I wont be adding the silica unless the mix doesn't raise in pH...

first,dont pH GO stuff,in fact i recommend never putting a pH pen in it ever since the number is more or less unimportant when dealing with veganics..
second,if you're going to rez it it needs to be in a light-proof rez or you will end up with an algae farm
third...it sucks in a rez,maybe 48 hours max before it starts settling out,it leaves bio gunk on everything...not a good rez nute,better to mix it fresh...remember its a fermented product and it will start fermenting again at the drop of a hat...

thanks unc I was hoping you popped in, so what would you recommend as i've been running the line for a while and I wanted to start a res using it or if I should switch nutes.. and wasn't sure what's the best way to switch nutes or if its possible without ill effects.
