Well that seems fine, maybe it's just a touch out of the sweet spot.

You got some decent photo's of the stems to show so I can have a look at how bad they are/aren't?

what should i aim for with ph i will be honest i got phup and down and in over 2 years i have never used it at all as my ph always seems around where i want it and dont really wanna add any more shit to the mix unless really needed and as i was told canna buffers it so not needed to touch ph it seems with veg nutes its around 6.0-6.3 and when added flower nutes its around 6.5-6.8 what ph should i try aim for or would u just leave it be

You'd think very man and his chica would know where a fucking upturned swimming pool was on the outskirts of town. not like you can miss the bloody thing!

If I had a quid for every time I've heard that 'buffer' crap, no offence intended mate.

It should be around 6.5 and 6.8 being about max in soil but then again it's all strain/pheno dependent, 6.0-6.3 is far too low regardless of strain though.

PH changes through the grow because PH is related to Nitrogen uptake.

You can take the easy/lazy route and don't bother to PH or EC sure, a lot of folk do, but your plants won't be anywhere near what they could be given ideal conditions or as close to ideal as you can get.

PH directly affects nutrient uptake.

Lol, I've not had any basil on the go for about 2 years now.

I've got a shop bought pot in the kitchen but none of my own.

There's no comparison really.

My strawberries have just started to throw some fresh leaves out this last week but they're garbage now with moss growing on the soil and need swapping out for new ones.

I've had these about 4 years, since I moved in this house.
