What I do is just water (just PH water 6.9) them every other day for 10-14 days. or alot of people just run water and make that water run off for a while let say twice the amount of water that u normally giving to them, and they do it for like 5 days only a faster method but never done it.

are u flushing to remove nutrient burn or flushing to finish flowering?
Well I was gonna try a good flush to see if I can bring my runoff pH up..its. Even low since I started me a during
Can someone tell me if these are good readings ?
Used just the JJ 2 part
60L container
Half strength (1ml per litre)=60ml
PH was 6.3 I raised to 6.9 with pH up.
Ppm was 460..water is around 180
Runoff was:
5.3-5.5 - after a day its 5.4-5.7
Ec 2.2
Ppm was 1200-1700
Is this good ?
Also I mean a easy way as in something to suck the water out of the saucer pans they are in or something lol

I assume this is soil or soil less. U are perfectly fine do not overreact to low ph runoff. That is honestly not even that low. What is in you pots?

a lot of people cause problems when they think they are fixing problems. If you are using soil-less mix it is likely it has a lime based buffer to even out the PH which is causing the low runoff. If it is soil you may have a batch that is too acidic.
edit didnt see u said it was soil. But still it could be buffers, many soils have the same thing. If the plant is happy and eating i wouldn't fuck with it. If you keep watering it at the right ph it should be good. Monitor the runoff, currently it seems fine soil doesnt generally have the ph issues of other methods and if you donjt see any signs of burn the PPM is fine.

They may need some cal-mag. Some leaves will yellow and fall off, that is totally normal, but those rust spots look like a micro-nutrient deficiency, likely magnesium. In soil i seriously doubt it is a PH problem.

Over 23c to remove salts better. around 19-21c for oxygenation. I often just give water at the temp it comes out and never really see any stress, but I'm in hydro I don't know how your soil life is Gona feel about really cold water

im under the impression tons of people use epson salts and that it is the same thing as cal/mg, feed it with some N tho, should be fine.

Warmer water dissolves the salts aswell just don't go over 25c
