I try to have the ph around 6 going in , one of the run offs ph was about 6.5 and I just tested another ones run off and it was almost 8 . I dont have a calibrated ph tester at the moment so I'm using the liquid ph tester , I have a digital soil ph meter and after I watered them last all there ph was in between 5.9 and 6.3 at the highest. I use cal-mag, and floramicro gro and bloom. I use well water not filtered at all I know it has a lot of sulfur not sure what else . As far as ppm I dont know .
