Sounds extreme, but I do it all the time. Keep in mind that I do have a top notch Apera spear probe PH meter. Next feeding mix up your nutes to 9ph and flush the shit out of it. Not a fan of slurry tests, but I experiment with this shit all the time. BTW, why are you feeding in molasses? Looks like your in veg?

Yea I’m in veg week 3 , I thought it would build up the microbials in the soil or that’s wat I’ve heard

Nah, that's more for end of flower. Don't know that it would hurt, but taking it out of the equation would simply things. Get some Mammoth P or Fish Shit.. Im testing a round right now without any Mammoth to see how my yields come out compared to last round with it. Stuff is expensive as hell tho. $200 a liter.

You put plants that are too small into FFOF. It's really designed for plants that are a little larger and better established. The soil is made that way with that pH at the factory. I say just leave it alone. When the plants get larger, transplant into much larger pots with more soil. As for the leaf damage, did you spray or spill anything on those leaves? It looks like liquid may have ruined that leaf tissue. If not, it could be a genetic flaw. I wouldn't worry about but don't spray anything on the leaves.

I didn’t spray anything this happened because my last watering the runoff was 5.2. So this watering I give it 7.0 ph then did slurry test which came back 5.2 again a couple hours later my leaves were fucked up ......smh

Still, I wouldn't worry about the pH. It's going to be low as FFOF soil is full of nutrients. Just give 7.0 water, or close to it, and nothing else for a while and see how things go. I think you'll be okay, unless you tinker with it so much that it gets worse.

So even though this happened when I gave it 7.0 water I should keep watering at that ph?
