Hello guys, I have a weird problem. I tried flushing my plants today , it started from 6.1 to 7 . Ph . It started raising even after correcting ph to 5.6 . I am using soiless with vermicompost. The more I flush the more it goes up. Always maintained between 5.5 to 6.5. Thank you for your advice in advance.

Why were you flushing your plant today?
Clawing leaves, thank you.

You're checking runoff is my guess.

It's not reliable. And if you're giving acidic water it will want to flush out the Ca shit or whatever. Do you have pics of your plants. You don't want to mess if you don't need to.

Ignore it. If there is problems you'd check EC runoff. Not pH. pH is sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Often the media warms it changing the reading instantly.

That soil doesn't look very pretty. What kind is that?
Soiless with vermicompost. Thank you once again for patiently enquiring.

You just blasted the cation sites that were holding nutes, like padawan mentioned, and stripped all the Calcium and probably a ton of other nutes out.
Expect more problems from here on until finish.

pH only drops from increase in temperature. It doesn't rise. From room temperature to boiling it only drops less than 1 point. It's not temperature.

Is your medium soiless?
