In soil you'll have no difficulties to grow with a 7ph even if a 6.5 in flowering is the average range. The soil have a self buffering propriety so it's mean that you'll be close to 7 each time you water except if you have a big difference between your nutrients mix ph and the soil ph for ex soil is 7 and mix is 5 but it will create a ph fluctuation. No need to check the runoff PH except if you'r growing in coco.

Different soil will all have different ph levels. Best to find one suited to marijuana. Can be tricky. But if your soil is quite high, water with a lower pH like 5.5-6 to ensure all nutrients are being absorbed and flush it every month or so to get rid of any excess build up of salts

I’m a bit unsure, re: bubblicious, do you think i should fim or top or leave them at this point? as they are pretty squat also do you think putting the full spectrum lighting on now is ok as i have done? i figured as its auto it wouldn’t make a difference, more light more growth.

Cant seem to get soil ph to go up. What is the cause and what am I doing wrong. Everything was great until flower so I'm guessing it's the bloom boosters. I've fed light and watered til at least 5% runoff the entire grow.

Can the color of your nutrients cause the roots to be dyed. My MicroGro nutrient is dark red and the older roots are colored a light red. More roots continue to grow and the roots which haven't started touching the water in my hydro system are still bright white (see photo).

One of the three plants in the 5 gallon DWC is almost ready, a good 2-3 weeks before the others. I assume I have no choice but to flush the entire tub with plain water for a week before harvest. I will then need to resume nutrients for the other two; good or bad idea?
