Are you in soil or coco? because if you are in soil then there's a bigger possibility that it's root rot, because coco is almost impossible to overwater

My dude is so irritated he wants to give up on growing... we are deff beginners but this is my 5th grow and everything is going wrong and we dont understany why.... it would be one thing if i knew what was happening. We phed 5 jugs of water to 7.2 and watered, when he retested thr water he had just used it had dropped to 5 too! I dont understand why!
which of the fox farms did u use? jc.....think there is something there too....beside the watering issue, there is gotta be something different within this grow from the other grows you've done......

And what do you use as your pH down?
What I'm thinking is the pH downed water is then poured into the medium...at which time it latches onto maybe boron like harry mentioned or something else (we get to it later) and the stuff mixed but not used is latching onto something still in suspension(saturated solution)
Oh man fun mystery, i want this

The water, and the pearlite, and larger pots thats the only differance. We used leftover pearlite. Thats IT. I used the same genetics, the same soil, we have always read our runoff as we did and had gopd results. 1.2 plbs per plant. These ARE FIGHTING ME

They had one feeding with the fox farm nutes, i use fox farm happy frog soil. I use a light meter and they arnt too close, according to that.....
By one feeding of Fox Farms nutes do you mean the whole 12 bottle lineup according to their feeding chart at full strength?

No lol, but by bf wont answer my questions rn about the exact, hes big mad at them. So i dont know the exact answer im sorry
I've never used FF nutrients myself but I have seen more issues with people using those nutrients than any other. Some people don't have problems with them but from my observations many do.

Ok you use correct pH down stuff so there must be a contamination in the watersource if i followed this right. Your local water has something in it that binds with pH down aggressively and binds with something molecularly similar in the soil.
I had a similar problem, there were buffers in the water that caused the PH to rise back to it's original state after adding PH down
