Ph'ing my water correctly?

[stinkyattic]

what happens if you adjust your ph first then add nutes? I had heard that it takes more ph down/ after you add nutes to make an adjustment?

If it's taking more pH down to adjust nutes AFTER adding ferts as compared to BEFORE, you see how it would logically be easy to make mistakes?

Mix up your whole feeding first, then bring it to the proper pH. Do this all immediately before use.

In hydro, fill your res including all nutes and supplements, then test and adjust the pH.

I also am aware that many nutes have effects on the Ph. I fear that my nutes have been throwing off my Ph, which i thought has been a solid 6.5 the whole time. My question is, will i be able to get an accurate Ph reading after the nutes go into the water and is mixed up??? This way i will be able to get a more accurate reading before the nutes go in the soil. If i can take a reading after Rating: 5
