Well are you refering to MG soil or nutes? I wanted to give the soil a try been feeding a couple plats 6.5 PH water and they look beautiful nice lush green color, been over 5 weeks just triggered them today actually. The nutes I'm not sure though dont believe it would have a dramatic PH change. What seems to be the problem mate? :-?

nutes do affect the ph of the water. You should always check and correct the ph after adding anything to your water.

every different nute changes the ph in different ways, as the plant uses the water, the ph changes to.. may start off at 6 and rise to 7 as it gets close to needing water. dont use nutes every watering... but that depends on the nutes

Invest in some pH up and down because nuts most certainly can skew your pH ito dangerous territory. Or if you are on a budget steal some of your mom's vinegar and baking soda

Test the PH of your runoff water as well? (Runoff is the excess water that comes out of your pot/bag/planter)
