Hey guys I have three auto flowers being grown. I checked one of. The ph levels runoffs with 7.0 water came out to be 4.9. I'm assuming that's bad. So how high should my watering be to fix this problem?? Fox farm ocean soil 3 gallon pots

This seems so wrong, did you calibrate the pH meeter?
The water should be slightly acidic. your run off should be at 7
Yea I had calibrated it to 7 and when I checked the run off oh it said 4.9 but I hope this ph meter is accurate. It's a milwaukee

Hey but I noticed that the meter doesn't stay at a number it keeps dropping one number every 4 secs

Dont overthink it. If your target is 6.5 then flush thoroughly with 6.5 and make sure all waterings go in at 6.5
Oh ok thanks .. it advice sounds about right. Cuz I been running water through it at about 8.5 and it still staying around 5. I think a major flush is was it needs because I had never checked my ph, so who knows how long it's been that bad
