Ph output low when watering. Help!

Hello fellow grower, If you are using bottled nutrients your pH of your medium should range between 5.5 and 6.2. If you're an organic grower like myself your pH of your soil should range between 6.0 and 7.0 to get proper uptake of nutrients. It is ideal to have it at 6.5. Not sure the reason of why you're medium or soil is so low maybe try calibrating your pH pen. Whenever I pH my water I allow 10 minutes to settle in after mixing before I test the waters pH. You may want to water your plants with a pH of 6.5 - 6.8 until you have about 25% runoff each watering until the runoff is within correct pH range. If using bottled nutrients use a slightly diluted mixture to do this process. Hope this was helpful and happy growing!! ✌️
