Alkalinity VS PH inverted readings

[b]

Im having this inverted relationship with alk and ph. I have been dosing nyos two part manually a couple hours before lights off. I can't find anything on the subject.

Alk is mostly used during the day.

If you dose at lights off, alk rises, then drops during the next day when pH is rising.

When my pump arrives should I spread the dose evenly over 24hrs or just during the photoperiod?

Depends on whether you are mostly trying to stabilize alk or pH. Both have benefits.

More people stabilize alk unless the pH is very low.
