The problem is that I have a couple of plants with a runoff of ~ 5.75 when the solution being put in was around 9 ph. So now the question is do i flush the plants untill the runoff is at a good level or do i continue to use a 9 ph solution in watering to try and gradually bring up the ph.
How long have they been in their current soil? it may be time to re-pot or transplant. Usually after 6-8 weeks the buffering agents start to dissolve and flush out causing ph swings.
