You really need to get a better ph pen if you are using ph as a guidepost. Those yellow pens are not really too good. I use a:

Very easy to calibrate, its accurate, and it will last. I have (had) 2 of those yellow pens and watched their numbers jump all over the place. If/when you can get a quality ph tester.

So starting on these types of systems are pretty great, you stat with a little nutrient, much like adding nicotine to a finished product… There’s calculators and what not… Eseentially week by week you bump it up, each time… As the water is taken on by the plants, they grow, absorb the nutrients and grow veggies or leaves, etc… After a certain point it’s just maintaining nutrient levels in your resevoir. Pretty cool.
