Don't worry so much about your runoff pH.

I've had this meter for 5 years. Rock solid. I leave the probe in my nutrient tank full time.

I check every time I water I stay between 5.5-6.3 ph going in I’m finding no matter what as long as it’s within that range coco will buffer it’s self out one thing that I am noticing is that with my roots organic I’m haveing little tiny fruit flys in my tent......little fuckers ....... how often should I feed my soil every other watering ?

Don't fuck around with fungus gnats. This stuff if worth the cost. Gnatrol and a few sticky traps.
I don't grow soil, do your homework or reach out. Hydro only. Except for the peas out back.

i've been using coco for years, in hempy buckets, and i've found my best results come from phing at 5.7...ph rises naturally as the plants feed, if you put it in over 5.7, as soon as it starts to rise, it's already headed out of the optimal zone
and i feed every watering, you just feed a little less. make sure you're getting at least ten % run off when you water, coco will retain a lot of salt if you let it, and start cooking roots pretty quickly

this is the cheapest ph meter i would consider "good"...it has a three point calibration test. i do it every other month, it's adjusted itself one time in a year...
