Super quick and raw video for you today. Nothing fancy here, just wanted to get the message out to those of you putting pH up/down directly into your nutrient solution. Adding pH up/down directly into the nutrient solution is a mistake that I've made before and I don't hear many people talk about this crucial step. Here is that video by Everest Fernandez that I spoke about within this video-> ruclips.net/video/X5vLME0N-54/видео.html Also...

Damn. I've been making this mistake for 3 grows, now. Oops. Thanks for the video Chris, I hope you know how much of a help you are to "our community". Keep em coming, man. I can't get enough.
It's called flockulation it happens anytime you ad up to a fert solution to avoid do as you did or adjust the plane water first then add the fert and it will drop down. Flockulation is binding the fert molecules up too big to enter the roots it turns into something similar to gyprock turning cloudy and falling out of solution. Great tip I worked in a hydro store for over ten years and almost no one was aware of this
Excellent advice Chris, It was a mistake I made thirty years ago and had to learn by myself because there was no internet back then. You new growers don't realize how good you have it with people Like Chris to steer you right. My first and last experience with adding potassium silicate was awful, It coagulated into a suspended sludge like substance (thats what the cloud Chris showed you) my pump distributed it throughout my system and plugged up drip lines and I had to scrape it off my rock wool so the water would go through it again, I replaced all of my spaghetti lines.
I was trying to cheap out on PH testing on the first grow (single plant). I just used the aquarium ph tester and it said 7.4. I have ordered things from Amazon. Thank you for the info. You are one of the best presenters on youtube.
Keep the water turning in one circular stirring motion while adding your droplets and it will cut down on the clouding tremendously. Very good thoughts though, diluting it would be the A+ way to go. So med.
THIS is why it's important to watch old videos from people you follow. I have never known this and have been doing it wrong my last 4 grows. Thank you Chris!!
Anytime you mix acid or base into a chemical compound you are always going to get a chemical reaction. That’s the point. Just because you deleted it doesn’t mean it’s not still doing the same thing. You see the cloud because it’s a high dose reaction but in reality when it’s diluted it’s a smaller scale but the same chemical reaction is still occurring
Look at that! I've learned something new today! Thanks Chris! I'll definitely keep that in mind for now on. Just another extra step to keep the girls happy! Happy growing!
Hey man could you revisit this on a grow talk. Maybe like chemical reactions with nutes. You could talk about the ph cloudy again. Also include proper silica mixing so you don't make sand. And I also know about calcium locking out phosphorus or potassium if mixed in the wrong ratios. I'm trying to think of any other reactions to be aware of but I'm sure there's alot. Didnt you settle that phing is fine for microbes. But I think you get the jist, I think this would be a great topic.
Thank you for this video! I just make this mistake and saw the “cloud” you speak of. I began to wonder if the nutrients were reacting with the ph up and down.
Finally found what I need. Cause when I put in ph up it just cloud like that. Thanks for the video. I knew that there was something wrong with it when I put in the ph
The TNB Down & Up is a salt bass and you can just had a little at a time tell the Ph is at your standards it’s amazing & works every time. Also it’s mess free 💯 Good video thanks again 💚
Thanks man! good video. Only thing that sucks is having so much extra water in your dwc that you’ll either have to scoop or drain out to get back to the appropriate level of your net pot. And then also having to re-assess PPMs, EC, and TDS. It’s a never ending cycle it seems. And also seems like it would take hours to feed your plants plants playing catch up
I've been struggling with this to the point that I stopped doing it, this video super simple and informative. Do you also check ppm run off and how do you do this
Thank you very much for this information!! My Ph always go back up when I adjust it to 5.8 and let it sit for a few it’s always goes back up to 6.1 or +
I always do this. With almost everything I mix. It just allows things to combine easier too and of course avoiding the danger of having things crash out.
Your video randomly popped up and made me realize I forgot to ph my 55gal drum I mixed earlier when I had a major distraction. . I'm in promix and the drum was at 6.7.. Thank you,. I also dilute and ph down my silica before adding to the drum. it has a very high ph and can cause some fallout when nutrients start getting added depending on your starting ph. I think around 8 bad things start happening. I was having clouding issues and this stopped it immediately. Using jacks 3-2-1 and I mix in a 5 gallon bucket and then add it to the drum in the proper order. For me Its more steps but gives me the opportunity to catch myself if I screw up.
I am new to cannabis cultivation and I am in the process of learning how to grow. So far, I have decided to grow autoflowers in coir mixed with 15% perlite and with granular organic fertilizer. Just recently, I've learned of the importance of pH. I am on well water and had it laboratory tested about 7 years ago. It showed that I had a pH of 7.17 which I understand is far too alkaline for growing in a soil-less medium. I'm assuming this number hasn't changed significantly so apparently I have to bring the pH down to around 5.8 or slightly lower. While I understand how to do this, my problem is in finding good, objective information as to which particular pH meter I should purchase. The most consistent and credible information is that the cheap meters aren't worth purchasing. The reviews of the cheaper units on Amazon seem to support this. I noticed that you are using an Apera p60 which happens to be one of the two that I'm considering. The other is the Bluelab BLU2210 pH Pen. The most significant difference between the two (in my opinion) is that you can purchase a replacement probe for the Apera but not the Bluelab. I have no idea if this is an important consideration. I'm hoping that you could provide me with your recommendations. I've watched many of your videos and find them extremely helpful. Thanks for your efforts. Cheers.
I was trying to raise PH off a 5 gallon bucket of solution and it did not want to move from 4.1. i added a bit at a time, testing after each but after 5 try, I tested other things to make sure my meter was not broken. I then tried to raise pH in same solution but just a cup of it and it worked. Could not figure outlets why the main 5 gallon world not move from 4.1. I rested enough so I left it as-is at that point since I already wasted a good amount of my small bottle. What you explained in this vid must be what I was going through. I'll try the dilute first method and see if that gets things moving. Thanks.
After only a few watering's you should know how much of which product (Up or Down.) that you'll need to add to get within your pH range. Once you know that you can add your pH prior to mixing. Started doing that when I switched to well water, where I had to start using pH down & because it was acidic ( As apposed to pH up just being a base.) I figured that it would lock up easier and after I have my water measured out adding more water is just that extra water that throws off the formula (However minor that is.). Never really thought of it from a chemical reaction stand point.
Wow I just saw that! Thanks I would have fell right into that non- deluded and added just like that..Thanks and to that rocket scientist who said bad chemistry was happening..u guys rock!!!
So I feed my plants this morning and discovered a few results regarding ph levels. The ph of the 1L tap water was 8.9. Added 1ml of fish mix. Ph dropped from 8.9 to 7.1. After adding a quarter of ml fish mix it dropped to 7.0. After leaving the water for 10min I test the Ph again and 7.0 was the reading. I'm using coco coir perlite. My question is do I have to use ph down to adjust to 6.2 - 6.3 ?? I discovered that the ph liquid I have is not organic. Can I use non organic ph liquid with organic nutrients?
yes, and with cococoir you want to have a ph of around 5.8, you can use non organic ph with your nutes but if you want to keep a completely organic feed, diluted lemon juice will bring your ph down
@@chrisfarlee6496 no you cannot use regular ph up and down in organic soil/coco it will destroy the microbiology a simple google search will tell u this.
so whats the down side to this-if i mix a batch and add up/down and the ph raises or lowers { which it does } how does this make for a bad reaction or how does this affect my crop ? ive never noticed any bad side affects from this
How much dolomite lime do I need to get a 5 gallon bucket of soil from pH of 5.2 to 6.2 pH? My soil keeps acidifying and then ALL bloom I'm FIGHTING to try and raise it but the runoff keeps coming out at 5.2-5.5 pH when the water going in is 7.3ph. Help!
Thanks so much for your videos, didn't realize about the PH. also thanks for your par testing on the growers choice E680, helped in deciding what to buy. Keep growing, keep sharing.
Gosh, I really wish I could talk to somebody about acidity and pH. What I would like to know is, do I need to start balancing my pH before I pour Foxfarm into soil or should I just follow the recommended chart regardless of how high my pH gets because my babies seem to keep disintegrating every time I does, even when I dial it back. It’s just a conundrum to me and I don’t want to mess up and I wanna get this figured out and how to convert fox farms for soil has been a journey; most definitely switching to Hydro in the next few years when I can afford it.
Help, does adding ph up or down add more ppms? I checked my ph after afew days and it raised after the first adjustment. Maybe from it being a hot few days someone said , so I adjusted down again as it raised to 8! out of curiosity of tested the ppms and it said 1000! these are only seedlings , when I first measured it was only 300pm’s
I did not know this...I have been having problems with my ppm fluctuating and have had no idea why. Could this be the reason for my fluctuating ppm? Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Hellz yeah brother been researching around the clock for quite some time and never have never heard about this hack or pre-diluting your ph up and down before adding to your nutrient solution!👍 So kind of just stating the obvious here but if your just ph'ing your water without any other nutrients involved theres obviously no need for this ......correct!?!?👍

I've been growing Cannabis since 2014 and never had a problem with my plants until this 2023 i started using Organic banana mango orange and potato to help them grow stronger and now my leafs are Yellow and many are dry 😢 before i started giving them Nutrients they would grow healthy and green. Now they even lost smell 😢 i think with a good mix of soil and plenty of water and sun light they should grown fine
@@jst4572 I thought of this yesterday, assuming we use the same brand of nutrients each time. We know how much PH down is required, so just putting the PH down in first would achieve the same thing surely ? My babies looking so green and vibrant just adding it whenever though.
Wow now I’m wondering why I’ve had issues with my fox farm nutrients these past two runs!!!! Doing absolutely everything right and both runs around the first two weeks of flower on my autos I’m getting magnesium deficiencies!!!

Oh and wizard npk and lex blazer You guys are our top 4
@@linseywicker6843 Can't forget lex blazer and check out DGC's grow talks; learnt so much from those guys
Its actually the nutrients binding together and locking out which becomes un available to the plant
This is honestly huge, I’m glad I found this.
Damn. I've been making this mistake for 3 grows, now. Oops. Thanks for the video Chris, I hope you know how much of a help you are to "our community". Keep em coming, man. I can't get enough.

And how did their plants grow ? Just fine I bet. Or they could have had 2% more yield , not worth it.
I been using lemon juice and baking soda as a ph up and ph down. Working wonderful
Or white vinegar.
Beginners make this mistake all the time and don't realize the impact on soil health. Thanks for sharing with the community
well in hydro it does not matter

Thank you for this video! I just make this mistake and saw the “cloud” you speak of. I began to wonder if the nutrients were reacting with the ph up and down.
I def make this mistake and have noticed the grey cloud many times. Ty for this,.
I use distilled white vinegar and baking soda to adjust ph. Never noticed a cloud but am going to use this method from now on. Thank you for the tip!
I was going to ask about this. I also use vinegar and baking soda. Is there any reason not to?
Vinegar will not stabilize pH in the medium long term. It also kills microbial life.
Finally found what I need. Cause when I put in ph up it just cloud like that. Thanks for the video. I knew that there was something wrong with it when I put in the ph

@chamed3381 i believe there are 2 kinds make sure you get the one with phosphorus
@ with one is the one with phosphorus?
I dilute mine in distilled water 1/10 then store it in a large medicine syringe. Makes it easy to dose and it stores well for a week or so.
Smart. So you mix your ph w your distilled water then store it in a syringe?
@@Javanni correct. I use 80 % phosphoric acid. I find it easier to work with this way.
I always do this. With almost everything I mix. It just allows things to combine easier too and of course avoiding the danger of having things crash out.
I’ve tried this method twice now and not only did it still cloud up it fucked up both of my feeds. Any insight to this?

So Chris is that for all PH up’s? Manufacturer label doesn’t say to do that just curious?
This is incredibly helpful and the first time I’ve heard this thank you
Comment 420 yaaaaaa
Do you find that the ph level in prepared water changes over time?
It does
After only a few watering's you should know how much of which product (Up or Down.) that you'll need to add to get within your pH range.
Once you know that you can add your pH prior to mixing.
Started doing that when I switched to well water, where I had to start using pH down & because it was acidic ( As apposed to pH up just being a base.) I figured that it would lock up easier and after I have my water measured out adding more water is just that extra water that throws off the formula (However minor that is.).
Never really thought of it from a chemical reaction stand point.
