well i gave the girls a light water with a reg feed ( I flushed a few days ago) i put my ph high cus my last ph was so low! So Ph in today was 7.2 but still came out at 5.7 ??? im at a loss not sure what to do now!!!

I'd flush 2-3 times the pot's volume with plain ph'd water (like a 6.6 until you see a runoff in the 6.3 - 6.5 range)

then make a ph-buffered nute solution and feed. (6.3-6.5)

feeding does no good if ph is out:

well thanks JM but i just did that a few days ago!!!

I hate to say t... but do it again...

you need to flush out whatever is buffering you lower...

runoff at 5.7 with 7.2 in is roughly a soil ph of 5.2 ish

I'm gonna see if Muddy can swing by and take a peek at your situation BK. I know he has recommended using hydrated lime in cases similar to yours in the past... I want to get his advice on whether or not it would help here. :smokebuds:

runoff at 5.7 with 7.2 in is roughly a soil ph of 5.2 ish

Soil pH is closer to 4.2-4.5 with a -1.5 difference. :smokebuds:

ok weird i checked my run again (pulled it off with sarynge) and now my run off is 6.4??? put run off in a cup.

Are your drip trays/cups clean? If you measure runoff from something that has dissolved salts on it, you're going to think your runoff is high when it's just the tray...
