Hello grow8s! I have a problem with regulation of pH. I use plagron lightmix soil. Every watering inregulate water to about 6.3 -6.5 pH. After 3 weeks, my runoff is 7.8. Can someone explain me why is that or maybe if I make some mistake? Also I see that nutrients are build up

Mate, Servus.. First off, why u measuring run off 3 weeks later. This is quite normal, when u feed ur plant at a certain pH Level. Let's say 6, ur run off should be noticeable higher. When u check ur EC, u will find out it has dropped. It only indicates that your plant is taking up Nutrients correctly. Best of Luck Mate, Servus..

Oh I do it because for first 3 weeks I water only a bit, so there is no run off.

I found two brands on this platform which i would never recommend to use. Maybe its my superstition, but plagron is one of them. To be fair, light mix by biobizz, was worst soil i used too .... I have big suspicion about low fat food for humans, looks like same result for weed too ... And you gave answer, if after first feed you got such results, search no more whom to blame. I was very strick with ph, for soil it was always 6.3, but my run off was usually a bit higher too, sometimes reaching 7.0. 6.5-6.8 mostly. Get ec and ppm meter too, that way you wont have overdose. Lemon juice is very unstable, unless its some product name. Used ph +- from dutch passion and later organic from biobizz, both did job perfect.

Bad watering regime, when you have no dry/wet/dry/wet cycles can play with ph. Excessive nutrition in soil can play too. When you measure ph ? Its should be last adjustments before watering your plants , aka all nutrition and other food is already mixed in. How you regulate your ph ? All hippy remedies are not stable. Ph +- by solid company is only way.
