^Thanks fellas...

I flushed right after posting this and I'm GLAD that I did!!

Initial runoff from flush came out at pH 5.0!!! I'm in soil so that's way too low. This was after flushing with distilled water, which surprisingly had a pH of 8.0. So, my pH is definitely screwed up if I'm putting pH 8.0 water in and getting pH 5.0 water out!!

Anyway, I only put 4-5 gals through a 5 gal container and by the end the runoff had only come up to pH 5.4! So looks like I'll have to flush again when it dries out...

Jtsik... I hear ya... It seems like my plants are in "suspended animation" between waterings. Then when I water they grow like 2-3 inches overnight. Then they don't grow until the next watering. It's kinda weird.

Lastly, FFOF soil sucks!! There's no way in hell my pH should be <5.0 already. The plant is 5 weeks old... was originally planted in a 1-2 gal container and then transferred to a 5 gal last week with fresh FFOF soil. I also added a small amount of dolomite lime (pretty small dose though)... but nonetheless this stuff is supposed to be buffered!! It's basically killing my plants. I have 7 weeks to go.... so I have a feeling I'll be fighting this til the end. Next time I'm using more lime... live and learn!
