Water with 9.0 water and see what it reads. Or even higher. Remember runoff isn't super accurate.

Medium pH Correction (Soil and Coco)

Checking and adjusting the pH of your root zone in soil or coco is a very important part of growing healthy plants. Often you will notice nutrient deficiencies despite the fact you know you have provided an ample feed at an appropriate pH level. When this happens it’s generally either...

Coco is what I know and you definitely don’t change your input ph to try and get better runoff ph… I would suggest a slurry test of your grow medium first and test that. If it’s still way off possibly think about a flush and again I know coco better than soil so take with a grain of salt.

Buy a bag of Fox Farms Ocean Forest (this is a first for me but she keeps coming back)

Put your seedlings in this and water. Don't measure runoff or pH going in. Use tap water. Amaze yourself and half the "growers" here.

Keep it simple! I was over 60 before I ever checked a pH. Somehow I kept getting buds.

I have grown more bud outdoors with Miracle Gro turquoise crystals than I've ever chopped indoors. Growers here would laugh but it's got everything in it including copper. My very first lessons (didn't catch on immediately) that less can be best and mix weak. I've had to scurry around swiping jars of anyhydrous ammonia from tanks that dripped it into irrigation water. In the middle of the night. Never checked pH. Muddy river water with Miracle Gro turquoise.

I wouldn't use the stuff now because there's better choices. But from experience if you run out of bloom nutes - if it feeds dahlias cannabis loves it.

I never realized so many people were fiddling around with pH and growing in soil until I started reading about it on the forums. Until then I just assumed it was a hydro only thing. I'm actually shocked at how much it's being abused by soil growers. Many are causing problems that didn't exist until they started mucking around getting their soil all out of whack trying to make the runoff match what they put in.

100% agree. Hence my standard advice - KISS. Some of these posts are ridiculous. Unnecessarily complicated.
