ph level confused

hey guy just a quick question

i tested my ph level and its come bk at 7.2 where should it be around

What did you test? How are you growing? Soil?

im so new to all this i tested my tap water and it was 7.2 im using canna coco peat with coco A+B

When you are PHing water, you are PHing the actual mix you are feeding them.... So, you want to take your Coco A+B and add it to the tap water, and mix it all up.... Once your done, you take your PH meter and take a reading..... Your growing in Coco, so the PH is different from Soil... YOu want the PH of your feed going in to be between 5.5-5.8 It probably will be like 6.6 after you mix it up, so you will need to add PH DOWN.... Add it slowly though... its strong... 1 ML will drop a gallon of water a whole point.... Just add a little, mix it, take another reading.... Once it is between 5.5-5.8, it is safe to feed your girls....

As for Runoff PH in coco..... Your Runoff to waste water should have a PH of @ 6.0 If it is high (anything over 6.3), you need to Flush immediately with Properly PH'd Water ONLY..... I believe you are gonna have a REALLY high PH level if you havent been PHing your feeds... When you feed the girls tonight or tommorow, Make sure you PH the water going in correctly, then take a sample pf the runoff, and let me know what it is.... I had this problem a couple months ago....

I'm never grow in coco but in rock wool I ph waterings/feedings to 5.8 then my runoff is 6.0 and they loving it~
