Pray tell. Why are you checking runoff pH? What medium are you in? Fox Farms makes several.

Could too much co2 in the room have caused the issue? We have a generator that maintains the room between 1000-1500 while the lights are on

Are your plants showing you any signs they’re not happy?
Hard to tell in that light.
Early signs, no more than one or 2 large fan leafs on 3 or so of my girls have some orange markings and curling tips, i tried to get pics but like u said, the lights make it hard, but i can see it with my eye. We haul in our water and the quality varies a ton.

You're wasting time. You read a few too many posts. At least one by some doofus.

I wouldn't be surprised, i make things complicated sometimes... can you help me understand a little? Does my run off not matter? Im pretty surr he was checking to see hoe much nutes were in the soil, and he checks the ph to be careful, when he saw it was low we thought it would affect the way the plants absorbed the nutrietents. But im truly not a smart person,,,

You really don’t need to test soil. For PH or PPM.
It’s why you use it.
19 days into flower you need to start adding some bloom nutes.

Well that's a decent size setup. Sounds like he's been feeding acidic shit that's lowering the soil pH. You can add alkaline water to help get shit back on track.

Check this thread out.

Ok, he said he balances the water every watering, but its kept going down, all my water is hauled or collected, it has given us issues in the past. Could too high of co2 cause it?
