It’s not accurate at all. Testing runoff ph will tell you nothing useful. It is not the same as the actual ph in the root zone. You shouldn’t need to use a soil probe unless you are building your own mix or heavily amending a metric ton of soil at home. If you are growing in bagged soil you should not worry about ph ...that is unless you’ve got plants looking sickly. Using heavy nutes with high npk value in soil can throw the ph out of range. Even then the solution would be to simply transplant to a bigger pot of fresh mix preferably with some compost and/or fertilizer added in. Why do you think your ph is out of range?
Ph meter was out so fed 4.6 ph nutrient to plants for nearly first 2 weeks of flower before calibraiting meter and seeing it was way out plants have bad nute lockout i have another thread in plant problems with pics its a 13x5 canopy i flushed yesterday with a 6.3 ph full reservoirs of nute now wait for it to dry out and resume normal feeds hopefully
