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
