I watered the Hindu Kush (the one with more stains) with a bottled mineral water with pH 6.6 and tds 30ppm (which I use to calibrate my meter).
The runoff pH was 5.8 and tds was 180ppm.

I am thinking to buy and use a mineral bottled water with pH around 7 to 7.5 and flush her with it. Agree?

Don't freak out. Relax. Your soil is buffering as the water passes through it... No need to flush it.. Pictures are worth 1,000 words.

6.6 should be fine for now as long as you didn't soak it. But it sounds like you ran quite a bit of water through it to get runoff numbers...
IMO runoff in soil doesn't mean much. I wanted to wait and see what Leeski had to say. Maybe check out his journal.
It's about the value that you put in. I don't even think he is PH'ing but he also isn't running water through his plants like a flood..

You need to keep whatever is in the soil, in the soil. If you wash it out every time you're not going to end up very happy..
Sounds like you keep watering when you should let it dry out man.

The runoff pH was 5.8 and tds was 180ppm, the water had a light green tone.

What have you been adding to adjust the pH? I still think that's light related though.

Slow down. You need to address the issue one thing at a time and wait to see a result.

I’d drop my ph to 6.3 Flush with tap water that’s set for 24 hrs. 25 yrs. ago I first crossed Hindu with Durban and it went viral. Poison Kish is now a staple in my garden. Good shit Maynard!

How does one calibrate a meter to a bottle of mineral water?, i.e. how do you know its pH 6.6?
pH drops are better than a cheap $10 meter

I kind of freaked out a little bit. Hehehe
Today was about time to water them at least. And Actually, I have flushed only the Hindu Kush, which is the one with the more stains on the leaves. The blue dreams are fine. Only one leave with stain.
I attached some pictures of the flowers. Some pistols are a bit orange. I think they are a bit small for 5.5 weeks of flowering :/. But they are frosty and smelling so good!
Thank you a lot again.

Here in Brazil the company that distributes the bottles must inform the pH and other stuff in the bottle.
I know that's not the ideal. But it I can do it for now. :/

Your meter is calibrated at both 7.01 and 4.01. Then test your water for accurate reading of your sample.

That's the point. My meter is awful. I calibrated for 7.01, cleaned it, and then calibrated for 4.01. But after cleaning and putting back on the 7, it did not measure 7 any more. For sure the drop meter are better than this shit.

Hey, don't mention it.

If you're going to look into any PH pens you should check out Hanna. They have top quality instruments.

Just learn to relax and read the plant. Don't over analyze it because this leads you to taking the wrong advice and making mistakes.
I think they look good small or not.

Keep it green :blsmoke:
