Anyone else using RO water? What's your secret?

[Bjaebjoch]

I've been having the hardest time with pH flux in my 10gal dwc. My roommate said it might be because the RO pulls out all the buffering elements. So I was wondering if anyone else gets this problem and what you do to solve it. I use AN 2-part and have been supplementing with AN SensiCal with the idea that it replaces the micro nutes in the water at the proper ratios. Except I don't really know how much to add and if I should add it to the water before I top off the res or just add it to the res with the other nutes after I top off.

Peace

If your plants are growing fast... you'll not be able to keep the ph stable anyways... dont worry about it mang! check and adjust the ph when u can (every couple days at the worst) and u'll be fine.
