EC and PH of Runoff is Higher than Solution

I'm putting a full nutrients indication in all watering since beginning of flowering. And I was suspecting it was too much, so I decided to measure the runoff of the plant. And the measuremet was: PH - in: 5.88 -> out: 6.76 EC - in: 1.15 -> out: 1.27 And now? what this mean?

Heya, Means you are feeding the plants more nutrients than they are absorbing. Try feeding a little less and a little more run off to bring it back down a little. The plants are only absorbing what is needed and the rest of the salts build up in the medium affecting pH and ppm levels. Cheers and good luck

Guys, Maybe it can be because i'm recycling the media over the times, and now is buffering the ec and ph?

You should also flush with proper ph water if your ph is climbing too high and or ec starts climbing way higher than what your feeding. Cheers

For soiless your in a good range for ec for early flower but you need to up your ph. Start feeding with a ph from 6 to 6.5 now. Mid flower increase your nutes to 1.4 to 1.6 ec and late flower back to 1.2. Looking good. Cheers
