Helps if you post pics..
Really helps if you use the search function/google and avoid spamming RIU with yet another pH problem.
Good luck

I was going to say the same thing, easy answer questions should be found with the search feature.

IMHO, The RIU search function is pretty garbage.
Try typing a keyword into google followed by "rollitup"
ex. "yellowing leaves rollitup"

dude it's a forum, sometimes you gotta reply to your own thread to bump it up to the top again. keep bumping if you really want a reply. don't let it ruin your day lol
as for your question i couldn't give you the best advice because i don't grow soil. but i can say use as little of the pH up as you can. pH up is a last resort. use ro water, the pH should naturally go up anyway, and you'll have to focus on keeping it down instead of up. the pH down is ok to use. having tons of that stuff in your water makes it taste bad to your ladies, and they'll yell at you when you come home for not showing them love like you do to the girls at the clubs.

Testing runoff is a very unreliable way to test pH. Too much fast acting lime will mess your shit up quick! My guess is you pH is just fine. 5.9 is a little low for soil but not horrible but I'd be willing to wager that your pH is just fine. Top dressing with lime and running 6.8 pH'd water through will do virtually nothing to raise pH. Soil doesn't work that way.

Depending on the ph of your water, which is probably 7.5 to 8 why would anything need to be added to raise the ph. A good flush with dechlorinated tap water should work just fine and raise the ph.

flushing with higher ph would work, but why are you worried about the runoff? does your plant show defiecencies? do you p.h right before feeding?
I grow in soil and have NEVER checked by runoff.

Also helps if you use decent grammar.
Older members wont waste their time on sloppy younger people who won't take the time to type correctly/ post pics.

If you want to go from 5.9 to 6.8 ph, Don't use lime.
I do things a bit differently. Ashes will bring the ph up. Lime brings the ph down. When they are mixed together and balanced properly in the water and fertilizer mix it produces co2 gases in the bed.
yea i had a cal/mag issue got real bad as this coletrain is a heavy feeder and the leaves started to yellow so i feed with half strength nutrients and 2 tsp of cal/mag and everything started to look better then 2 days ago i switch bulbs from mh to hps for flowering and when the lights whent off that night i foiler feed with cal/mag the next morning i look at the plant and the greyish brown spots where back and leaves was all curled up so the only thing i can figure is a ph lockout

got any pics, yellowing is usually nitrogen, not cal/mag.

I highly doubt you have a pH problem.

There's a button near the bottom right side of your keyboard.
It indicates the end of a sentence.
