u should be checking both, runoff ph & nute mix ph. set your nute mix ph to 6.8 & then water it till about 1/3rd runs out the bottom & test that waters ph. if the runoff ph is off then on your next watering adjust the ph of the nute mix. eg: runoff is low like 6.2, then nute mix ph up to 7.0. if runoff is high like 7.2, then nute mix ph down to 6.5. this is just an example, youll have to play around w/ the ph if its off, to get correct runoff. u dont want to overwater the plant, id just mix up a gal & water til u get 1/3rd back out, & let the soil dry out b4 next watering, & dont feed again till about a wk or so. if u need more help click the link on my sig "so you want to grow......", there are others there that are able to help too, as ill be gone for today.
