I too Like simple.. but this may help me make it more simple. Less Plant problems less yellow leves etc. and less stress.

I ask cuz I grew in ProMix. Ph7 It worked out ok. But I did have some problems. For example when tested my water runn off in veg stage about 4 weeks into it. I was adding small nutes only 1/4 strength starting at the 4th week if that. at week 5 my soil runoff was at like 5.5Ph

Botanicare Product nutes PURE Grow with every watering. 1/4 Strength watered downb after that.

If my Water was 7Ph out of my tap and My Promix soil was 7Ph to start. It must have been my nutes that were slowly making the soil drop so much in PH Value. I tested my water before I put it into the soil and it was about 5.5Ph So my 1/4 watered down nutes made it drop to 5.5 from 7ph..

Isn't that a Bad thing for the plant. If its soil Ph is 7 before I add any nutes. If I match the water Ph with the soil Ph will this in Theory give me better resuults? and healthier plants?

If so I would like to try this seeing as Im using Coco this grow and I understand Ph levels are usually lower with Coco Coir. I have added Dolomite Lime and the Ph now is 6.8.

I assume since no one has answered now that mixing Ph Up/Down with Nutes in water is safe. and will not harm my plant if mixed correctly.

thanks In Advance for the help guys and Gals///
