Soilless Grow pH Issues - WTF!?!

yeah i agree with chuck.. i don't even know why people check ph run off... i can if your running like a flood system or some hydro systems that way you can see if your media is fucking up your ph.. but media like soil/promix... its pointless...

Sup Phil. Gottcha, don't get stress over the run off pH. Going forward I'll just make sure the water is pH'd to the right level before giving the ladies a drink and not sweat the pH of the run off. That said, the girls are looking very healthy. They were switched to 12/12 the day before yesterday and I'm kinda shocked at how quickly they've been growing, especially the Sativa. Compare the pic in my first post (taken a week ago) to the one below. The Sativa is now kicking ass!

The ladies - three days into flower

You have any experience with KoolBloom? I'm thinking about adding that to the nute mix in a week or so.

run off tells you the ph of the water that ran past your dirt collecting all kinds of stuff. don't use that as a measure, waste of time.

AMEN! Waste of time. Worry about what PH you feed/water with. That's it.
