I don't PH my runoff. I did once and it was really low, even though it went in at 6.8....I don't really know what to tell you other than "find the correct PH for your medium and set your nutrient mixture to that." Testing PH has nothing to do with runoff in my book and my plants have never shown PH issues...but you will undoubtedly find people who perseverate on testing the ph of their runoff and/or soil.

The key word is "auto flowers"
You have to feed autos very light... When you start with a hot soil like FFO, and hammer it with more PK boosters I suspect you have overfed/lockout conditions.
Try to flush to return soil PH to 7.

If you can only get one, get a 60x. Those trichomes can play tricks in the light and you really wanna get in there and see what is going on.
And I veg in a separate closet with my momma bush and my clones.

So I get confused about this ph stuff. So what do u test your ph on? What exactly r u watching for if it's not the runoff. What causes lockout

This is where I get confused since people have diff opinions on it. I thought I checked the runoff to get my ph is that wrong? And I checked today when I added Bush doctor sweet n dandy to my distilled water the ph tester turned pink showing reallll acidy. Is sweetener suppose to do that.

ph to 6.2-7.0 before giving it to the plant.
I don't use your nutes or your soil... but I can't even remember the last time I checked my run-off.
I just water until I get a nice run-off and move along.
Edit: I cut my mama bush. I just cut every 2 weeks. She has waaaay more than enough nodes to supply my 6 per two weeks.

Distilled water cases Ph swings. You need a buffer of some kind like Calcium, Magnesium, or Silicon

Everything you add raises or lowers the ph.

You can add 1ml of damn near anything to distilled water and raise or lower it dramatically. There is nothing in the water to act as a buffer, it is literally a pure substance.
So adding even a tiny bit of anything will register that it has dropped significantly. It's just that it has dropped, but by a small ppm... so adding even a tiny amount of an Upper will change it dramatically also... nutes get confusing.
