    Hey guys, week 7 of flower for my gdp's last week or two got really busy and stopped watering to runoff ,being in the scrog and having a bad setup makes it hard to water to runoff in general but for most of the grow i was, i decided to stop being lazy start it again my ppm was like 2800+ so i started watering with low strength 3-400ppm for the last few days to flush it out a bit , just checked today runoff was 3800? my ph is on i've freshly calibrated it running 5.8 in coco coir sumtimes fluxuate to 6.0. plants seem to be fine no burning or anything which was why i got lazy but any clues to how it's still rising even though im putting through low strength mixes

    What u got 2-3 weeks left? Ph goes up ppm goes down, ph goes down ppm goes up? I’d ride it out if ur almost done and plant isn’t showing signs of stress but that’s just me. What kinda ppm meter ya rockin? A cheap amazon one? I know how ya feel though one of those times where if it is messed up ur just waitin for it to go south next time ya open up ur tent.

    nah man it's an expensive one got it afew weeks ago too the ph is sweet i'm sure on that. if ur getting excess ppm in runoff ofc ph gna be 1ower but it's the fact it's going up in ppm yet what's going in is the opposite

    Haha cheers ye the thought did cross my mind but as you said, last resort this late into flower, i'm thinking now it might just be a buildup getting flushed out has risen to peak now im getting rid of it

    Okay I don't check runoff I check my soil. Take a small glass of your soil from your pot like a large shot glass. Now take the same size shot glass is distilled water put it in a cup stir for a minute. Stick both meters in there that will give you a true reading of both ppm's and ph. I wiuld do this when ur soil is dried and ready for next feed. If u are in coco nevermind i forgot too look
