I don't know for sure, but I suspect it has something to do with the content of the water (the particular dissolved solids) not being able to stabilize the pH... sadly, I'm far from an expert on pH. I've heard that adding some CalMag helps stabilize pH, but I haven't tried that with my starters... I have recently used CalMag for growing, it seems to help my cabbage but not impressed with the results for the lettuce (I know you didn't ask for that rabbit trail, it was just something that came to mind). I just know, with my water, this is what occurs with my pH. It may be different with other water sources. I appreciate you stopping by and watching! Let me know if you have other questions.
Do you still use the Maxigrow for week 2? Or were you just using it up and now use the Master Blend?
Yep, still use the Maxigrow. Or sometimes I'll use about 20% strength of the MasterBlend.
Why Did The PH go up after you PH downed it when You started the seeds?

@@HydroHavenGrow thanks for that info. I’m going to start checking my ph more often
