pH in Hydroponics: What NO ONE Tells You

In this video, I reveal one of the most underestimated aspects of hydroponics: pH! I'll explain why maintaining the right pH is crucial for nutrient uptake and how it can either help your plants thrive or block essential nutrients. It's not just about hitting the right number; several factors are at play, and I'm sharing insights nobody told me when I started. I dive into how nutrient solution strength, plant type, and even daylight cycles can impact your pH balance. Learn about common issues like pH swings caused by algae or rotting organic matter and how a dirty system can constantly drive your pH down. I also discuss the pros and cons of using reverse osmosis versus tap water, explaining how each affects buffering capacity and pH stability. I'll show you how to fine-tune your pH with both commercial solutions and simple homemade alternatives like baking soda and vinegar. Plus, I share my personal target PPM for RO water and how often I test my system. Discover the ideal pH range for my plants, especially my sweet strawberries!
