I need 2 simple questions answered. I qut 2 grow groups on social media because I cant ever get a straight answer. I will provide all the detail I need to but I have a part question.
1 I am in soil, my water and nutes going are a 6.4, runoff of a 5.93.
2 Do I need to amend it all? If yes. what is the simplest way to bump ph up a few points in already planted oil?

Thanks and happy growing
Tony

Well you can start by telling us what you're actually growing in? What do you mean by "soil"?

It's like asking someone what's wrong with my car without even telling the brand of the car and its history.

I am growing in Roots Organic 707, I run Advance nutrient Sensi Bloom A&B and B52 as an additive. I follow the feeding schedule of my bud labs app. I also add a couple ml of Roots Organic cal/mag and Fish shit. I use the Advance Nutrients PH up and down for adjustment when needed. My water is chlorine and sediment filtered not RO. Conditions in the tent are in line VPD was 1.1 this morning. My plant looks great. My stock tap water before filter is 8.5ph and over 400 tds.

Plants doesn't need the "kitchen sink" approach for optimal growth. They need a balanced mineral based complete plant food from start to finish. What do you think all of the different additives do?

Get an EC meter and run Sensi A+B from start to finish at low EC. When you have a couple of fail free runs from start to finish you can start thinking about adding other things in to the mix.

Thanks but again you failed to answer the question. I will run what I want and my plants from my last run were great. I simply want to know if 5.97 runoff is ok or if I need to up the ph of the soul at all.

Well you didn't specify anything so your guess is as good as mine! That's why I try to give you a basic overview of what's actually needed to grow proper medicine.

Runoff pH will change in the amended soil throughout the grow so I think you're asking the wrong question? Runoff pH is your point of reference to know what's going on and out the medium. If you have a lot of buffers already amended and add more upon that you will only cause problems in the future.

pHing is pointless when you work with already amended soil with slow released minerals in the mix. You got to know what's in the amended soil, how long that pH buffer last and what you're going to do to replace it or combat pH fluctuations in the medium?

If you’re in soil and see no issues don’t worry about the PH you will just chase your tail. The PH is pretty pointless check runoff EC or PPM however you want to read it. They are your plants and you can run them how you want but try to learn how to read the plants it’s the best way to tell what is needed. I know it’s a hard thing to do cuz so many plant issues can be caused by so many things but if your environment is dialed in then that leaves you very few simple things it can be
