do your plants look really healthy? and are u letting your run off sit around in the saucers for a while before testing it.

Well if you were growing "Passive Hydro" as i am you would,
Plants are watered by the capillary action of your medium.

if your not letting the water wick back up and your not coming back 15-20 minutes latter then theres no way your getting a true reading.

No No it's cool , just trying to help ,
Mongo frog is right , if you are not leaving the run-off to settle at least 15 mins your reading is innacurate ,
What tool are you using to Ph your soil , may i ask ?

u should test all run off 15-20 minutes after u see it. and i dont think u can over water nothing.

That is about as accurate as an Iranian on Opium !! i would not trust that thing , get a Ph pen if your so concerned , but growing soil , you should be good at anywhere between 6.5 - 7.5

If you flush your soil before planting with Ph'd water , at what you want , then you only need to Ph what is going in and you will be fine imo
