Need your help guys wanted to check the runoff today when I watered .

I put water pH 6,5-6,8 in but the runoff was like pH 8,6
Higher than i put in ???

And you were right with the light nutrient burn as the ppm shows me around 1849ppm

Anything i should do or wait for now and just water plant with normal pH water 6,5 ??

Thanks

Are you using tap water or distilled/RO
Tap water will rise as the chlorine dissipates unless you let it set out for 24hrs open to let the chlorine go away. Another cause is lime additions in the soil. It will slowly bring the pH up.
Unless you see problems with the plant I wouldn’t worry about it.

Also one thing , it’s the first time I watered till i got a run off. Maybe this helps or is important to know

I am using 6L drinking water in containers which i pH
About the like could be true as it’s a super soil and I am not sure what’s in it exactly.

Another thing i noticed was that last time when I pHed water in a bucket and left the bucket in the room open and checked the pH after few days the pH was way higher.

Somewhere i read it could be because of CO2 in the air rising the pH ?

And the PPM will come down over the next waterings ? So for now nothing to worry ?

With super soils you don’t water to runoff. Just water at the right pH and the plant does its thing.
As it uses up the available nutrients it will root deeper into the soil. Runoff washes away your good food.
If its a living soil with active microbial life it will self adjust within reason the pH of itself.
All taken together what you need to do is watch the plant. You already saw the tip burn and backed off the food. That’s perfect. Unless another problem arises don’t change anything yet.
Trust that your super soil will do its job and feed the plant.

Okay perfect something new learned again.
I forgot to water till runoff before so I did it right by mistake :grin: but today i wanted to check ppm and EC and pH.
EC was at 1,6by the way forgot to mention this before.

Thanks again for teaching me. So i know now i will not water till run off .

Will keep an eye on the plant :shamrock:

You have a slight nutrient burn its nothing to worry about if it has travelled down the leaf more its fine

Whatever you store your seeds in needs to be waterproof. Also make sure it comes to room temperature before opening or condensation can ruin your seeds.

Thanks for the storage tiips.
Making it happen and checking seeds for issues, as we speak.
Too much snow to go anywhere.
