So I just got my SH Bubbleponics system fired up on the 21st, things are still running fine as far as mechanics go but I've run into a few problems.
Two days ago I checked everything, all systems were go, water was clear, pH was good. I added my nutes (1/2 strength as I am just getting started) and today, two days late I come home to find my pH to be 8.0 and the water is looking murky. There is also a bit of a smell, not sure if it's from the water down in the tub or the warm mist from the bubbles.
I just dropped the pH again but should I be checking and adjusting it AFTER I add the nutes? In other words, are the nutes changing the pH in the water or do I have other problems? Is the water having turned murky an issue or is this normal? Do I need to change the water already?
I have just one seed in Rockwool right now, it's popped but I have no sprout yet, I'm assuming I am a couple days away from that... Any and all help is appreciated.
