fox farm soil & ph
can someone explain to me why if using fox farm ocean forest soil (which is ph adjusted) and their ferts and adding ph adjusted water i can't keep my runoff from being totally diferent than what i am putting in it. i am constantly chasing the 6.5 mark even if i put in 6.8. the runoff usually is around 6.2-6.3ph. i even flushed the other day w/ 5gal per pot. what could possibly be causing the ph to go so low? i can't for the life of me figure it out. sorry to the site police if this should have been in the sick forum, wasn't sure.

Its fine man, the soil is probably pH adjusted to be 6.2. That is a perfectly acceptable pH anyway.

FFOF is PH adjusted to about 6.6-6.8.
if your runoff is consistantly low, then you have salts building up in there from too much food.

Give your plants a light flush once a week for 2-3 weeks and you should be able to rid the soil of the salts that have collected. Allong with this, I'd cut down a bit on nutes cuz the soil is very rich and obviously there is more nutes in the soil now then it wants.
