PH Testing

[space81]

Hi,
I am watering with a PH=8 water, when checking the run off it reads something around 5.5 or 6 is that fine?
As for flushing shall i flush with PH=7 water or the water am using will do the job?

thank you

Before i say anything, let me also ask, whats your media? Soil or hydro? nutes? just to get the ball rolling. Also what type of water do you use, tap,RO, distilled/.?

i am using potting soil with 5.5 to 6 Ph, currently am feeding Happy Frog 5 5 5 as for the water it is tap water.

No need to ph bro. Not only is happy frog soil and liquid organic, it also stabilizes PH for you. You're water ph goes down to 5. As it dries it goes back up to 8+ feeding the plant what it needed through the dry wet cycle.

So is ph of 7 fine with uptake of nutes? Im seeing a nitrogen deficiency and my ph is 7 and it was real bad only on a couple leaves but it seems to be recovering very slowly (very) should I increase grow big up to 3 tsp per gallon instead of 2.5 tsp? Ive also been doing . Tbs of big bloom and 1 tsp or 5 ml of cal mag.... Also i read that phosphorus doesnt up take well in ph of 7 during flower is this true? Srry to hijake post space81

Also runoff PH does not tell you rootzone PH, dont flush, you will lose all your mycrobes
