Soil PH

Hello,

Just checking.

I am doing my nutrients and when done, the PH is at 6.50 (I've gone between 6.40 and 6.59 every time) ---- the only time I changed it was when I did a CalMag solution one time and had the water at 7.0 and did a single small watering.

I got a soil meter and three of my buckets (A, B and C) soil reading is 7.0 (exactly, identical) - while the Blue Dream (D) is 7.5 --- the odd part is buckets C and D are Happy Frog, while A is Roots Organic and B is Fox Farm. (I wouldn't have expected C and D to be different, as it's the only two soils identical)

Anyway:

1) is the Soil PH (VEG right now, 4th week) ok reading 7.0PH?

2) The reason of my concern is that the leaves are a PALE GREEN (well, not yellow green, more like a chalky light whiteish green)

You don't need to adjust ph when growing in soil as the soil will buffer the ph for you but saying that it's good practice to ph the water after you have added your nutrients incase you one day decide to try a different grow medium.
Your plants look super healthy. Too green is a bad thing. Keep doing what your doing.
