It’s not your soils, it’s your $12, 3 in 1 meter, those things are notoriously inaccurate (I bought one years ago). The question is are there any problems with your plants, wouldn’t surprise me if you’ve been jacking with ph. If not, don’t chase soil ph, if the soil is darn nearly any commercial soil, the ph will be fine. BTW, goes without saying, don’t trust the RH or Mousture Meter either!!!

This plant is stuck on 3 finger leaves and in flower. Not good man, she's probably not gonna produce anything. She's far from fine. Speaking of pic 2

I use to not check ph levels etc years. And big harvests doing old school. Now I started all this technology and work my butt off and problem

Got a 3000 farmers was to much light leaves Taco turned down moved up. I don’t think it’s light. It’s over fed messing with that meter

You guys are awesome. Thank you. I learn daily with new strains and equipment and been growing years. You always learn

It just looks a little spindly like it's reaching for light.

I can save second pic only started flower 2 weeks and green crack takes 8-10 weeks flower.

A healthy plant will drink ¾ to a gallon easy a day. Even more if it's huge. If it's not doing that in stretch or early flower you need to drop your feed strength.

When she is drinking well then you need to water more often not crank up feed strength.

I think this thread here in pic is accurate during moving light period got interrupted few days. I think went back veg. And will take weeks to come out of again buds stopped. Just like thread says pic

On bud plant last 2 weeks growth 3 finger leaves on all top. Other plant all 5 finger but a couple on top. I hope to save 2nd plant but bud plant might be gone. Will let you all know

To answer your OP: Yes, you can pH your incoming water at a level to compensate for soil pH.

If your goal is a soil pH of 6.0-6.5 and your soil runoff or slurry test is 8.0, then you can pH your incoming water DOWN to 5.0 and run a bunch of it through the soil until your runoff comes into compliance. And then after you start seeing a runoff pH in your goal range, start pHing your incoming water to that same goal, thereafter.

I use General Hydroponics pH test drops which I think is a pretty standard system for cannabis pH testing

I just ordered ph pen soil tester from blue labs. Top quality. $99. Be here sat. End of ph problem. Thanks guys

Expect a long flower on that one. Looks landrace sativa and those run long.

Yes they run very long when you don’t mess up

Wow thanks so much I bought a $98 blue lab ph pen and checked the ph that other pen said was 7-8 for weeks and I kept bringing ph down. Well ph was 3.2 on expensive pen. Wow no wonder plants were bad. Thanks they are the long road to recovery now from ph and the interrupted light on our move
