Question about Mother Earth Liquicraft Grow nutrients

I am growing in soil with Mother Earth Groundswell soil, and I went ahead and got their liquid nutes on a good deal, but when I add their low dose recommend 20ml to 2gal of water, it takes my water pH from 7.5 to 5.6.

Is this normal for liquid nutes? Should I let it set out and stabilize? I’ve never use liquid like this before, so I’m not quite sure what to do.

Also can you pre mix a larger batch, say 5 gal of liquid nutes and let it set through a few feedings if you have an air stone in it?

It is completely normal, and you should be just fine. Liquid nutes are always acidic. Any good container mix will have enough dolomite to buffer a 5.6 feed without issue.

Yes most nutes I'm pretty sure will drop ph u will need ph up and down just in case

Are you saying at that pH level I am good to feed, or should I pH up? I’ve been told both but I’d like to hear some more opinions.
