BlueGold® pH Adjusters (pH UP & pH DOWN)

pH ADJUSTERS: pH UP & pH DOWN –
DERIVED FROM: CONCENTRATE HYDRONIUM

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. First, test all below with a 1-5 gallon bucket to calculate how much you will need to get to the desired 6.4 pH (or pond 6.9 to 7.2) range.
2. Fill the bucket/reservoir. (If city water is used, let it sit for 48 hours in an open container to outgas some of the chemicals.)
3. Add all your nutrients to the test bucket, up to your desired EC / PPM level. Stir in with a wooden stir stick. (Wood will not give off a charge capacity liken to a metal or plastic stir stick; which can hinder your nutrients.)
4. While stirring or circulating, dribble in, by syringe or eyedropper, a measured amount of the BlueGold® pH Solution till you reach the 6.4 pH (resistance).
5. Now let sit idle after mixing or circulating by a pump for 24 hours to see how nutrients hold with the BlueGold® pH Solution at 6.4 pH.
6. You may need to adjust the pH with your nutrients less or more after the 24 hour period to grab the 6.4 pH (resistance) sweet spot.
7. Now the known correct amount will remain the same every time if your water conductivity remains stable. City water seems to change daily so be careful.
8. Unless your water resistance or nutrients change, then re-test the bucket system to learn the desired amount again.

NOTE: Our best success is with Blue Lab Wire to Probe Resistance (pH) Meters. Pen meters seem not as reliable as probe meters. NOTE: 6.4 pH (resistance) is our empirical data “sweet spot”. It is merely our scientific suggestion for you to verify usability in your grow. 

BlueGold® pH Solutions are a more aggressive solution for use in high EC / PPM nutrient environments. But, will work in all nutrient situations, low or high. We believe our pH Solutions are the most revolutionary and amazing natural pH UP & DOWN in the industry. They impact growers unlike ever before in how they move the resistance (pH) in liquids. We have experienced using up to 200% less of the BlueGold® pH Solutions with organic or chemical nutrients against traditional industry solutions (these savings depend on your water conductivity). It all starts with rounding up concentrate Hydrogen ions in a straightforward and proprietary method. Hydrogen is the simplest and most clean source of energy known to exist. Anionic Hydrogen ions are a strong alkali (Hydrides), and cationic Hydrogen ions are a strong acid (Hydrons). Most importantly, Hydrogen is the most potent oxidizer (think of buffering) known to man. So we have hitched up the horsepower of non-caustic Hydrogen magnetic frequencies that are safer for you, plants, water, fish, and the environment. 

The industryʼs lack of understand causes it to put little importance on resistance (pH). The worldʼs definition of ʻpotential Hydrogenʼ (pH) can arguably be stated as simply a matter of “resistance.” All grow problems start with water, nutrients, soil, and a plant sap resistance (pH) that is below 6.3 or above 6.5. Problems will continue to magnify further out of balance the farther you migrate away from the perfectly balanced water/ soil/sap resistance (pH) of 6.4. We have learned this over many years of research and development from the school of disaster and success. At this 6.4 resistance (pH), the availability of nutrients is in abundance rather than being locked out by improper dielectric resistance levels. 

Think of this as magnetics. When the proper dielectric, magnetic field strength is applied around the magnetic relationships between nutrients (anion/ cation), harmony occurs. However, when an improper magnetic field is (think too strong or too weak) is applied to around the magnetic relationships of nutrients, disharmony and disorganization will occur, resulting in some nutrient values being unable to pair and react with one another properly. This disharmony means your nutrients are unavailable to the plant in varying degrees, a little or a lot, but still unavailable and wasted. 

Each 1/10th of resistance (pH), for example, 7.0 to 6.9, represents a 100% difference. The difference between 7.0 and 6.0 is 1,000%. The exact proper water/soil/sap resistance (pH) is vastly significant in any environment, and simply cannot be treated lightly. With 6.4 being used as the marker for the perfect balance of resistance for elemental relations (nutrient to nutrient dielectric pairing and interaction), your nutrients become exponentially less available the further you move away from the nutrient water, soil, and plant sap resistance (pH) of 6.4. So, “close” does not count in the game of resistance (pH); instead, it equals disaster and headaches. Using potent and caustic traditional pH adjusters can make this attention to dielectric resistance (pH) an even more difficult task, requiring high daily administering dose rates that put significant strains on the plants and impede root nutrient uptake. 

Also, these heavy chemical acids can separate from the liquids and fall out towards the bottom of the reservoir, causing a lower pH at the bottom of the tank and a higher pH at the middle/top of the tank. Test this for yourself. High Na Salts first impede Calcium, high Chlorides first lockout Phosphate. Ever wonder why the industry cannot pound enough Calcium and Magnesium to the plants; with a resistance level of 5.9 to 6.1, these are the first to go along with Potassium and available Salts. If you do not manage your water/soil or plant sap resistance (pH), they will manage you. This is the single most important simplistic foundational principle to successfully growing. CAUTION: if you move the pH ʻtoo fastʼ, it will cause unavailable elements to rush into the plant, creating problems. 

BlueGOLD® pH Solutions are very powerful in moving the dielectric resistance (pH) down with tiny amounts of the product added. ALWAYS err on the side of caution when you lower the pH of your nutrient tank for the first time. We do not want you to pass up 6.4 by going too low and then having to raise it back up. Be patient with it. If you put it in the tank and run to 6.4, then come back in 15-45 minutes, you may find it crept down 0.2 to 0.3 tenths more. Always pre-test the BlueGOLD® pH Solutions in a smaller container (see instructions) and with your organic or chemical inputs for at least 24 hours before adding to your system. We have consistently seen the pH hold stable for up to 3 to 7 days with a 600-1000+ PPM chemical or organic solution range IF a bubbler is NOT used, and using JUST a tiny circulatory pump or wooden mixer and then let sit. The oxygen (anionic charge) caused by the bubbler will displace the Hydrogen charge and cause the resistance (pH) to bounce and/or creep up on the meter. We highly recommend no bubblers (aeration) at any time with this solution if you want the resistance (pH) to hold. BlueGOLD® pH Solutions are safe, non-caustic (keep away from natural cloth fibers), and very gentle on you, plants, roots, and the environment. Ever wonder where all the acids and chemicals go when they are sent down the drain? They all eventually end up in the oceans of the world. Think green.

WATER

Water is water, correct? It surely is not. City water contains all or some of the following: ammonia, chlorine, chloramine, fluorides, perchlorates, and hydrofluosilicic acid, to name a few. If you do not have rainwater, distilled water, or reverse osmosis (RO) water, let your city water sit, in an open container, for 48 hours to outgas those chemicals and then run through a double steam activated carbon filter, if possible, before you add your nutrients and feed the plants. The conductivity of the water is critical. The lower the conductivity, the more nutrient transferability the water exhibits. City water is ever-increasing in chemical additives.

AQUAPONICS

BlueGold® pH Solutions are fish safe when not mixed with any chemicals in the water and used in conjunction with clean water with a low PPM count below 200. Tiny amounts are needed, such as 5-10 mL (or lower) per 15-20 gallons of water. If you place alkali (Calcium) type stones in your pond or fish tank water, you will be forever fighting this resistance battle. Choose rocks or stones that maintain a close resistance to 6.4 to 6.7, and the stones will help self-adjust the water along with the proper aquatic plants. Then you need very little or no resistance (pH) adjusters. Harsh chemical pH adjusters can cause the fish to barrel roll. All fish may require differing resistance (pH) then plants; we have seen 6.9 to 7.2 work well with fish and plants. BlueGold® pH DOWN will help reduce/ eliminate string algae conditions. You do not want to use a bubbler with this product. If you do, you will use more product. Air pollution high in Aluminum particles causes pond water resistance to creep up; another factor in adjusting water resistance. Call us on 1-307-275-7010 about your pond conditions.
