That thing will just have you chasing your tail. Ffof is good soil and should buffer whatever you dump in it.
Maybe you have other issues. Throw some pics up
Messed up the ph so bad. Im quitting growing already.

This is them now right after watering theyre about 2 weeks old but 3 of them are test subjects and are about 3 weeks so i can duck those up and grow my others well.

Lol. Those are fine, bro. Promise. Buy a roll of cheap litmus paper. Check your water once. Check your feeds the first time you make them. After that forget checking. If your pH is 8 then get back with us. Relax and have fun.

That first one is a sunflower but it identifies as a cannabis plant.

Many of us love growing. Not just cannabis. There’s a gardening section here. Plants is plants. In fact my tent will be overflowing by the end of May. Vegetables and cannabis. Waiting for the last freeze.

How much water? 2.5 ml ph down in 20 gallons won't do much. In 1 gallon it'll be a noticeable difference.

I know thats why i thought it was weird usually i wonnt even add any a ml I just dip the squeeze thing in an then dipp in in the water was enough but for some reason I trusted that cheap piece of crap. And yeah it was a gallon i actualy watered them all but one one the last one it started bugging out and just stayed at 0 so I had like 3 drops of water left in the gallon container i used sp i inked it and it instantly went red thats when I realized what just happened.

If you're doing hydro or coco you need to get REAL intimate with your water, and you need accurate meters, know how to calibrate, take care of them, etc, and even then I have a high quality PH test kit for a backup and to verify once in a while. Soil is easy though, if you want to skip all of that, then you just need to learn how not to overwater.

Our water here in Phoenix is doable for sure. If you live on the west side and want good gear at a decent price, the guys at Greenlife are good guys and always hook up discounts. Way better than online for most things.

It's gonna be okay, you flushed all that nastiness away, little steps, less is more.
Just remember that you leave tap water to stand for 24 hours before using.

you really can't pH Reverse osmosis water. Don't even bother until you are adding nutrients to the water.
What medium are you growing in?
Looking at the plants they look like you should transplant, or start feeding. I would transplant, wait a week or two, then start feeding and pH'ing.

Wait sorry I just re read what you said and yes feeding in about two weeks or so was the plan if they can live that long lol. This is my first grow so i know im being dramatic but I totally expect to fuck this one up lmao

Fox farm ocean soil is buffered at a ph of 6.3 . Also is a hot soil . No nutes should really be needed for at least 3 weeks minimum (20-40) days . Than use nutes . I’ve fucked up my ph a couple times in the beginning of my first grow . Also over watered the fuck out of them to the point it was neon yellow. Don’t freak . Be patient . You’d be amazed at how crappy of a life they can have and still be fruitful . Beside you’ll have plenty of time to freak out in the middle of flower

Lmao ive already planned my story for when I inevitably just go "man F*** thissss" and burn my house down. Also all i ever hear is about overwatering so I've been careful not to water any more frequently than 5 days apart or when they look droopy. Except now theyre drinking a bit more but ill transplant them soon and be able to switch back to every 5 days or so for a bit at least
