Low pH with kristalon brown

967

Active member
I've been using kristalon brown recirculating for a few months now and the pH drops to high 4's to 5 constantly. Have read another thread someone complains about exactly this. What do people do to combat this issue? Or is it really a non issue just keep throwing pH up at it? That's what I've been doing and plants seem perfectly fine, but would be nice to not have to

I have a top off res I adjust to 6.5 but it still drops. I know a fair few people rate this stuff I'm wondering about other people's experiences in regards to this.. ?

It's important to stabilize the pH with cal mag before adding fertilizers.
