Seeking advice from here:
Added 250 ML of Armor SI 1.5, Cal Mag 1, Rapid Start 1, Floralicious 1, Liquid Seaweed, and forgot to PH it after telling myself to do it first thing today. I down ph'd immediately to finish watering with 6.2 PH.
My PH soil meter is reading close to 8 after 750 ml of PH 6.2. The runoff is like 5.5 but the meter still reads high just sticking it in the soil. I read the soil can lower the ph and this is what I was seeing previously.

Today is also the first feed of a 4-week old plant. Could the soil ph also be influenced by not having enough nutrition? I believe I read this over on 420 mag somewhere?

Any advice? Today's pics attached.

I will try a soil test. 2 parts soil 1 part water
The soil test is using the corrected solution and 2 parts of soil from the pot. It reads where it should be. I plan to wait 24 hours and go in with a soil test kit (NPK) and PH. The soil meter is probably the least accurate, and the soil is reading on the high side of 7 with that meter. I guess I need to look for a more accurate solution.

I would be suspicious of the soil meter.

Thanks, for the advice. I did a different test from dry soil with a ph test solution. It came up 6.0 I am OK with this... enough to watch the plant over a few days.

They look healthy to me mate don't see any pH issue next time u feed check the pH of your mix before u feed don't adjust it then feed your soil collect some run off and test the pH of that your soil should of adjusted it into the correct pH zone when you collect the run off don't get the first bit of water that comes out

Thanks. I think the meter may be what got me excited. I did another test after drying some soil adding something to help it settle and clear with the ph solution. It came up around 6.0 From here I am on your plan as a follow-up. Thanks! Started LST. But this girl is dense and compact. (To me)

Good job with the lst try tucking them bigger leaves under the grow site so they get more light once you have done that check every now and again to make sure they haven't readjusted them self's you should notice some good stretching from the lower sites

Question? Do you have any thoughts on the LST plastic clips? When I started my initial supplies inventory I added a bag of those. I am thinking of using them on the big leaves to direct them out of the way. I know I don't need to use them, but I have them. ;) Also, thanks again!
