Noob here. Just confused about reading PH. I'm hearing so many conflicting answers while searching around about this topic.
1. If I'm pouring in PH 7.0 water, and it's coming out at 6.5 - what's my soil's PH?
2. If I perform a "flush", should my runoff PH match the water I'm pouring in? Is the flush successful once the PH being poured in matches the runoff PH?
3. Do I want to keep everything at 6.5 (plain water, nutrients, runoff)? I heard 6.5 is the best number for soil grows?
From what I understood when I started my first grow, the PH of my runoff after watering is considered to be the soil's PH. But now I don't know if this is true.
I'm having issues with my plants and I think PH is to blame since my runoff is showing 5.9-6.2, but everything I pour in is at 6.6-7.
I'm so confused.
Thanks everyone!
