For anyone watching what he just did NEVER do that, when you add nutrients into your water they change the PH balance by a lot in my experience it will take water that's 6. 6PH down all the way to 4. 3PH. Yes it's THAT kind of change, so don't ever PH your water then add nutrients, that's a good way to mess up your PH balance and get decimated plants. Add your nutrients, do not PH balance the water, check your water an hour after you've added the nutrients to see in which direction the PH is going, if it's low and it's coming up wait for it to come up as high as it can naturally and then balance it out, otherwise what will happen is you'll balance it right there and the PH will keep going up and you'll come so far out of range that you'll have to chemically balance it out wasting a ton of PH up and down.

Hey Kevin, love the video. Just starting out so of course, I have 1 question. On a small home made system such as this, I would think without a water filter or a system that circulated water in and out, would the water eventually become stagnet? Like a fish tank needs cleaning, how about the water tub? Is it the same on larger system?
Thank you Kevin. was just what I was looking for.
Cant wait to become an expert someday

An effective way to grow plants and fruits without toxic chemicals with hydroponics system is taking full advantage of hydroponics pro, no need to try and fail such as them before!

Hi Epic, Lemon juice is a natural PH lowerer and more user friendly for creeping down to the number required. Enjoyed your video, keep up the excellent work

New to the hydroponic system game, how often should you add nutrients to yoursystem? I have the PH down pat but wasn't sure about nutrient situation.

I've had good success at 6. 2 or so. It tries to float up to 7. 0 every week but adding some more pH down will fix it. Thanks for watching: )

U should PH balance AFTER putting nutrients in the water. The nutrients can, in some cases, throw of the PH levels.

I probably should have done one more video here, you're right - I can add another one. what would you like to see in it?

Yup, you're right! Usually do, just was barely putting in any nutrients so I did it out of order. Good point though: )

you should ph after you add nutrients. most nutrients change the ph, so your ph will be off if you ph first
