6.4 roughly for soil. It will slowly bring the ph down with time. Good luck and happy growing

I'd run it at 6.2 for the entire grow. It should stay in range, if it doesn't something is going on inside your medium.

Does low ph runoff need attention?
The ph run off of my plants has been consistently low, ranging from 5.5 to 6.0. Should I be concerned? The soil is Fox Farms Ocean Forest. The plants are OG Kush and Gorilla Zkittlez Autoflower. I’m feeding them straight tap water with a ph of 7.5-8.0.

Soil
Hi people Thinking about changing to BIOBIZZ for next grow. If I use light mix would I be ok to use just FISH MIX AND BLOOM throughout on autoflower & photoperiod as I’ll be growing both? Thanks

PH measuring for Organic Growers
If I’m growing organically, do I measure my PH still? I heard that the PH up & down liquid isn’t organic & that organic growers should throw away there PH meter because the soil will adjust to what ever PH level I water them with. Is this true? I’m having a cal/mag deficiency.

Nutrient Deficiency
I could be wrong, but it looks like my leaves are starting to show signs of deficiency or am I just being paranoid?

any other feeding recommendations?
For my next grow I'm gonna do something very similar. I used Canna A+B, with about 8 feeds of PK and a little Cannazym. Does anyone know what else I could use to supplement the feeding, preferably from Canna? My main issue is the tightness of buds, but probs insufficient lighting

use of fertilizer for flowering while growing directly in ground.
Growing in the ground / Flowering nutrition. Someone told me that when flowering starts plants need different nutrition, my plants are growing directly in the ground (no watering needed this year), Can it help to give extra Potassium and Phosfor? Plants look perfectly healthy.

Watering question - Volume?
Currently doing my 1st grow and had some watering questions. I see a lot online about when to water which seems pretty easy to understand but I have trouble finding the amount of water. Is it based on the size of the pot? or the size of the plant? or both maybe? How much?

When to begin nutes?
So this beauty has been growing in fox farm ocean forest soil and I have yet to give her any extra nutrients. I am going to use an organic top dressing and I was wondering when would be the best time to add it without overdoing it? I was going to add it today!

Runoff PPM's are higher and Ph numbers are lower than what I've been adding when I water-
When I watered each of the plants with Ph balanced water only the runoffs for each plant were about 30% higher ppm than I put in on the previous watering with nutes (see numbers above). The plants look very healthy. Should I be concerned with this and if so why?
