Guys I grow with soil mixed with perlite about 50/50 and I always maintain the ph level @ 6.5-6.8 so I am in a good zone,but my question is why is the ph water that is coming out of the pot that I watered shoot down way below 6.0?
..

I will use perfect ph balance water but the run off shoots down way below the 6.0 mark,why is this? of course it's probably because all the excess salts and unused nutes in the soil may be causeing the ph to go down so does this also mean that once the balanced ph water enters into the soil does it begin to go down ,right away! to a low ph below the 6.0 mark? or do you think im o'k!............

I even done a little test I flushed one plant completely with balanced ph @6.5 I gave it a complete flush for several minutes and no way could I get the run off water to balance out to 6.5 it always drops way below 6.0?....then I began to wonder just say if I balanced the ph level say 7.1 then flushed the plant would the run off water then balance out to a possible 6.5?..............

The point I am trying to make if I water my plants with balanced ph @6.5 and the run off is below 6.0 does that also mean the balanced water that is now in the soil is actually no longer balanced @ 6.5????.............any takes on this?
