Help on reading pH in and out

[Minime2020]

Hi
Could any give me advice on pH levels in and out,
I have 2gallon pots with Coco coir and feeding with every water canna Coco nuits A Nd B,
My water before nuits is 6ph
I haven't tested my run of yet, any advice and as simple as ya can get first time grower

Mix up your nutrients according to the vendors instructions many components need to be added in a specific order. Check to see that the PPM is in the target range and wait 15 minutes then PH to 5.8- 6.2 going in. Fertigate to 15% run off by the end of the day. Start fertigating 2 hours after lights on and stop 2 hours before lights out. The reason to wait to start feeding is to give the plant a chance to assimilate the nutrients manufactured by the root biome over night. Yes, even inert media will have a biome of living organism that the roots have initiated. During the day and night the roots exude carbohydrates and other substances to stimulate the biome to produce something the plant wants. If you start fertigating too soon the plant will not have time to take in these valuable nutrients. Then stop fertigating a couple hours before lights out. Plants do not like to go to sleep with wet feet. This old farmer maxim stems from water uptake at nite can lead to too much transpiration and wet leaves. This is not good for many reasons Powdery Mildew is one of them. Do not pay too much attention to run-off. The plant is always changing the PH and make-up of the root zone. The idea in hydroponics (coco is hydroponics) is to have the nutrients the plant needs available in the root zone when the plant wants them. As long as everything is in balance the plant will use what it wants and ignore what it does not. Then we come along and replace everything with a balanced mix replacing what the plant may have used - so the nutrients the plant needs is always there. Measuring run-off with out a lab to test tells you nothing about what the plant has actually done to the mix. I personally don't even bother looking at it because it tells you nothing reliable.
