I personally switched to advanced nutrients pH perfect nutrient line because I wanted to eliminate the whole pH aspect from my grow and I’m glad I did but yes I pay to be lazy. Lol

I flushed her twice 5 gallons each time and ended up with a soil ph of 6.3. She looks mad. The end of the first flush I collected runnoff and had a ph of 4.5! I’ll check it again in the morning. All my other plants are running a little low as well. I’ll likely put them on a diet for a week or two. I thought Fox Farm nutrients flushed through and didn’t concentrate. Sure am glad you guys pointed me in the right direction! Thanks! @blackthumbbetty @Countryboyjvd1971

Give her /them time to dry out between checks
Youll be ok @Newman444 try to get run off up to 6.5 thats your sweet spot as @blackthumbbetty has already pointed out 
But 6.3 is in range so woohoo
Fox farms nutrients do have a tendency to build up salt in the soil so I normally recommend following the mfg flush schedules as well
But let’s work on getting the ph in range first
Happy growing

My local grow store carries AN. Looks like I will be switching over…
Check their prices and check amazons prices some grow shops or hydro stores put quiet the mark up on them

@Countryboyjvd1971 @blackthumbbetty so all 4 needed flushing — last time I use 7 gallon pots for sure! I had trouble getting my PH back up and when all was said and done, I fell back on my farming background. A few pinches of hydrated lime mixed into the top soil did the trick. All are sitting at 6.7 and going nuts! This indoor gardening is a little trickier than I thought it would be. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Good to hear @Newman444
I found indoors to be different as well and had to adapt when i first came indoors as well
Glad tou have it worked out
In most cases 5 gallon pots are pleanty indoor
I ise 5-7 myself on photos and 2-3 gallon pots on autos indoors
Outdoors i use 25 gallon pots or bigger normally
Ive never done autos outside i think ill drop a few auto beans and see what i can do lol
Happy growing CB
That isnt true you still have to check the ph incase its at 5.8 if your a soil grower like myself i have to raise my ph the AN ph perfect line COMES IN AT 5.8 So it great if ur a soiless or coco grower but if u grow in soil i have to raise the ph to 6.5 /6.4 i jump between the 2 as i read something that says your best to try not stick at the same ph so much so the plant has a better selection and different amounts of nutrients and supplements salts bio-rganisams etc is better for the plants growth in any stage. I have only just started using this line thou but seems to be fine.
