I got a good quality Ph meter a while back, the 100$ variety, and had the hydro shop check ad calibrate it. It was also checked against 3 other units, not all of the same brand. I checked the water, corrected the ph, then watered. When I fertilized, I got it screwed up at first, but people here helped out so much, thank you. Once I got that right, I would fertilize with a mix that read 6.5 or thereabouts. The runoff was also about 6.5 or so. The plants were all sorts of fucked up as a result. A buddy of mine told me that my plants were doing great until I started using that stuff, so without anything to loose really, I just started watering them with the fish tank water thats testing at 8.3, and the plants are doing a whole lot better. When UI water next, I'll check the runoff.
Ok, it was 6.78 runoff, and today the source was 8.49
