AC Infinity Self-Watering Buckets: pH Drift, Soil vs Hydro, and What I’m Doing Differently

I’m using AC Infinity self-watering bucket bases again, this time paying close attention to pH, water quality, and how the system behaves in a soil grow. Once I started measuring the reservoir consistently, I noticed the pH drifting back toward 7.0 no matter how carefully I corrected it. This video documents what that looked like, the questions it raised for me, and how my approach shifted once I stopped treating a soil grow like hydro. I’m growing in FoxFarm Ocean Forest and transitioning into flower, focusing on using the base for stable moisture while relying more intentionally on top watering to guide the root zone. This is a real-time log, not a tutorial. just documenting what I’m seeing as I dial this system in.
