Tbh I think your stressing over small changes. Give it another 24 hours

Had a wee smoke an a wee internet read there mate an was thinking the same thing lol. It’s Just after my two previous disastrous grows and all the time effort and money iv put into this and also the money I spend daily keeping the meds and levels up I badly need this to work otherwise I won’t be able to do another one lol. The missus has spoken fs, the money I’m spending on electricity and this hobby and also keeping my habit going by buying it off stinking dealers is scary Mate. I’m gonna put us under if I can’t sustain my own supply. I read up on articles every night and spend hours reading through different threads on here and just can’t get the hang of it lol. Always think is it because of the system I chose and did I jump into the deep end too quickly. My first grow I managed to get some decent weed of even after all the learning mess ups and mistakes. However the second one I ruined diagnosing things wrong and lost the whole crop after harvest the weed was just pure dirt.

Sorry to hear you're having problems, mate. We all do from time to time.

I always suggest to new growers to start off in soil. It's far cheaper to do so, and less of a steep learning curve.

I know mate I thought about this when I experienced how hard rdwc was on my first grow. But with spending so much on the system and being so deep in I thought I had to try and learn it

I hear you, mate. Don't give up though. If the worst comes to the worst, change the wife. There's plenty out there. :D

I have been speaking to the scientist and owner of Shogun nutrients this morning lol and she said

It is normal for drop as the plants start to release H+ ions so that it can take up more nutrients from the solution.

I checked it again there before the lights went out and EC is stable at 0.8 and has been for a near two days and the ph is jumping between 5.8 and 6.5, just jumps about and then settled at 5.9

Gonna go this morning and buy a new EC and ph pen. I’m also curious if any other rdwc growers on here experience the same ph drop when changing to bloom nutes

you should be 4 weeks and a day now if I added up right?
They are quite dark so keep the EC down.
How are they looking in person? starting to fill at all nodes?
