That sounds like you have not calibrated your ph meter or have a contaminated runoff. The container that you use to catch the runoff could be contaminated and give you a false reading.

Looks fine to me! That’s a low run off number. Meter has been checked? Plant doesn’t look like it’s in an acid bath

I use ffhf. It runs hot! Should be fine as long as water going in is close to 6.7. You will not need any nutrients for about 4-6 weeks depending on your strain. My water also ran out low.

What was your water pH? It's been a long time since I pH'd Happy Frog runoff and I think mine was low as well. Not as acid as yours but if I recall it was closer to 5.8 or 6. I haven't been too happy with Happy Frog. I bought a bag for sprouting and seeding and I don't get as good a results as using Ocean Forest. Then for the main grow I use 3:1 Ocean Forest with pearlite.
