The MG runs near 7, so that may skew the results a bit? Maybe a little nute build-up in the MG? Have you flushed at all? There's no way the fresh FFOF alone would cause such a rise. (unless QC at FF is slipping)

BTW: I believe the 6.0 is correct for the RO, my distilled runs right there. My tap water..........ack. Right now 7.5! (and flavorful)
yeah!I think thats what happen i just feed it tap water without putting ph down thinking it would level it self out which actually was keeping my ph at seven,that why i asked to see if your ph of that good water you use comes at 5.8 or 6.0 far as ph goes.what i was thinking was if the ph is 6 then maybe i can bring the ph levels down a little and since I only have ph test kit and not a meter,it goes without saying,i did not trust the kit at first and thats why I'd ask you if your water ph come out at fivish,six.thanks for the help
bluntman2006 Reviewed by bluntman2006 on . ph problems I been getting sign of high ph so,i checked the run off with a ph test kit and the reading was at 7. so i bought a couple gallons of ro water and checked the ph and it reads around fivish 6.00,could this be right?So i watered it again and then checked the run off and it reads 6.5 with the ph test kit oh,the soil I use is fox farm ocean forest.Anyone familiar r/o water and ffof soil Rating: 5
