Problem with pH. Can't drop it down

Hey guys am really struggling to drop my ph to all my 4plants. And right now one of em is going above 8ph.
The ppms are about 1.5 and am using soil.
My apologies for the bad images.

Worry about what pH your feed is going in. How do you know your pH is over 8? The only reliable method is with a soil pH tester, and definitely not one of those cheap 3-in-1 meters.

Well the runoff comes at 7.6-.8. Also the plant shows hardcore deficiency mode

Fyi the wierd goop in the water is sulfur

The pH going in is always 6.2. I might have gone a bit overkill on the extra bacteria I've added

that doesn't read as a ph of 8, it's reading a ph of 7 in that pic and that's perfectly acceptable.

My bad

Perfect in fact for soil.

OP i can almost guarantee you the problem you have is not the PH of the soil even if your seeing 8's on that cheap heap of shit probe thing...

is that a dry reading? you can't ph test on dry soil.
also...try to get into the habit of quoting a poster in your replies...we dont like tracking down threads we posted in to see if you guys replied.

Because it looks like a deficiency to me

Sorry man, but that pH meter is junk. The moisture setting might be OK, but I don't know. I returned mine as soon as I figured out the pH tester was worthless.

ur in mid/late flower you just ran out of some micro nute or something

Looks messed up, flush with plain/ no nutes, ph,ed water and test run off. Make sure run off ec and ph are in check. I guess nutes building up in medium and causing lockout.

1.5 ec to high I think 1.0-1.3. You said ppm I think you meant ec. If 1500 or something ppm that’s way to high

Do you mean your EC is 1.5? What is your base EC? PPM of your water before adding nutrients.

Your name speaks volumes

Give us all info from your grow …..

medium
Nutes
Water / ph
Temps / rh
Lights
Light schedule ( that first pic looks reveg )
Etc.

Yea pH is completely wrong. Says pH 8 for me when checked with a professional pH probe It reads 6.4…

The moisture side of things work well and that’s only what I use it for

Just ran some FFHF to runoff for the first time. No nutes have been added. pH was 5.5 so I would say that is where FFHF likes to be.
