Ok, yeah if you flushed and git your ph and ppms back to normal, then you need to start feeding again, start at 1/4 strength and work your way up. Also dont fertilize every time. Fertilize then water.

ok so i am definatly having a problem keepin my ph in check.i make sure that ph is at 6.7 and then i water.the next day i go check it out with a soil tester and it reads 5.5 .today i get home ready to give a flush but with a ph of around 7.1 -- 7.3 to equalize cause it the only thing left that i can think of due to the problem of my ph always falling.so like i was saying today i get home the soil is less wet than yesterday and my ph level in the soil is 7.0?????????????????????????i don't know what to do. now it has to go 12/12 but i don't know how to go about with the ph levels how to keep them balanced atleast for this last week b-4 12/12 the break down of the dirt i am using is:

7.0 - 6.5 is perfect. its the ph of the tap water more than likely. Sounds like you finally got all that salt buildup out. If it starts to drop below 6.5 then they are starting to accumulate. You really dont see probs until 6.0 though.
can i start to bud with this prob.cause it still seem's to be lingering not getting any worse but not better. should i have tried to use epsome salts or some thing?i do a foliar with micro nutes every now and then and watered with a ppm of around 400 .i did a flush after that and my ph in the soil was perfect. but no changes should i raise the nutes? i ask if i can go into bud because i've been dealin with this prob for a while now and if there not getting any better???
