I just ran r/o wtaer ph'ed at 5.8 thru my plants that are in a soiless mix and the ph is coming out @ 6.5-7.0.wtf????
 
Is this your first flush? May be salt build up? Might keep flushing them until the water comes out at the PH you put in them.
 
no i just flushed them a week ago had the same problem. But my plants are locked out for sure. Since i flushed them last week i have been givin them a 50% base diet and 2.5ml of calmag plus to my r/o.

I would flush until the water comes out the same ph as I was putting in. Also, get 1 part noots, much easier for beginners.
I like the Advanced nutrients. I started out just using that stuff. Then later you can get creative with the Calcium and shooting powder or whatever you like.
 
i have flushed 5 gal so far the pots are 1.5 gal. Ph is still 6.5 and need it at 5.8...should i keep going???
 
I do not think that it will hurt them to flush more, as long a sit is all during the same period. How fresh is the dirt? Is it a high ph mix? This will be my last post here as you may need someone with more experience than me. And I don't want to steer you wrong. Good luck:)
