Ph’ing in new soil is pointless. It has buffers that will take it right back to where it needs to be

Let me ask you this before I stop ph'ing
Pure water is 7 my water used to come out 7.2 - 7.4 over the last few weeks it has risen to 8.2 - 8.4.
Do you still think I shouldn't have to ph before giving it to my little girls.

Maybe I need to find me a good indica to smoke to chill out on when I get stressed. Not for all the time just when it starts getting to me. Roflol. Been smoking hash since yesterday. Just now starting to relax again. Hadn't smoked anything for a couple of days before because I've been sick.

As far as my grow style it's just developed over the last 2 years. I tried to wing it but still need to step up my game. Two years ago I was getting an ounce per plant last grow I got a pound per plant. Even though this wasn't my best experience on rollitup I still feel I learned what I needed to know about using ppm to tell when to feed in soil.
I'm not really a follower. I only started an IG so I could follow my own progress as I grow better.

You seem like an alright dude. It's easy to get the ego caught up when it comes to growing. I would probably be more braggadocios / defensive right now if I hadn't humbled the hell out of myself experimenting with setups this past year. I'm following your IG page and will root for your success from here on out. Unless you're being a huge douche again. ha.

Kind of what I thought about you. You called me a douche but it made me think was I the douche first? When I reread how it started and I was I had to admit it. I'm really not usually a douche and have worked hard on that for the last 35 years since I got married.
Then I really thought you were alright after I looked up what a truncheon was.

Do you know what those ppm are for the most part? Do you have Ca deposits on your faucets?

Yes we have Ca in the water. The well goes 90 feet into a lime stone aquifer. We have no filter. I have to clean my humidifiers weekly.

Do you think that could be causing the ph to go up as it runs through the soil?

I'm a douche more that I'd like to admit. I usually apologize when I feel like it wasn't full unwarranted and I lost my cool, and even sometimes when it was warranted. It's not really my place to judge or force people into self reflection. But, sometimes I feel like it's necessary for the good of all. Sorry, man.

Citric acid can be your friend. I also have a well with Ca in it. Not quite as much as you though.

How are you cleaning the humidifiers? It's best to use distilled or RO, which is what I use when I run them here, but you've got me curious about using regular well water now.

My well's like 450 ft deep or some shit, but I'm on the top of a mountain ridge.

Do your tanks have any Ca deposits?

Not yet. I just bought them about a month ago when our humidity dropped to 40% for an extended period and I needed 65% for these two to veg an extra 2 weeks.

I haven’t read this entire thread, but I can try to answer your original question. I would worry much more about what is going in than going out. I don’t pay too much attention to runoff unless I see problems and am looking for a culprit. I maybe test runoff once or twice a month. I feed 3 ec and my runoff is usually between 4-5 ec. If the runoff ph is too high in my system then I know I’m not feeding enough and it’s leaving just the buffered water. If my ph is lower than my feed I know I’m over feeding. If my runoff is within 2 ec and my ph is not more than .5 of the feed then I don’t worry. Hope this helps

Wtf? 4-5 EC? :wall:

The way I feed is in very low increments very frequently so the ec builds up during the first half of the light cycle. By the last feed, when I’m getting runoff, the ec has lowered back down to about 2.8. I don’t have any signs of burning
