Runoff very low PH

Khalmenace
Khalmenacestarted grow question 4 years ago
This plant is on week 6 or week 2 of flower. I have watered at ph of 6.2-6.5 from the start but my runoff is coming out at 4.5-5ph. Also wondering if this is whats causing the leaves to show rust spots that getting worse. Does anyone know how to fix this?

stop watering with "buffered" water just water with regular old tap water and you soil which I am guessing is Peat Moss based will lower the ph of your water.. When you add nutrients in the formula as well it lowers the ph as well. So just water with regular old ph 7 tap water and let your nutrients and soil lower the ph.... Often people overcomplicate growing. We are only allowing them to grow we aren't making them grow. What I mean is Cannabis plants grow despite what growers do not because of it.

You will have nutrient lockout if it's that low. Phosphorus/potassium etc are absorbed best when the pH of the substrate is just over 6 (more in soil I think ) If your in soil maybe water with extra volume of water until the pH rasies back up to the correct level .
