You checking ph levels from your run-off when you water?
no. should I have run off? why would I want nuts to be wasted? I’m new to this. listening

You definitely will want to check your run-off pH & tds. You’re not wasting nutes by watering to run-off.

In my opinion, testing ph and ppm is absolutely key to a consistently successful grow! Once your soil, water, and feedings ph range goes above or below the recommended range, you start getting nutrient lockouts and can even become toxic to plants. If I were you, I quickly get the instruments you need for testing. Go on YouTube and get some quick lessons on optimal ph ranges and ppm levels for different stages of growth. Here’s some useful info to get you started. But only the basics, gotta learn all you can! And take notes.

received my pH and TDS meter today. I had saved some runoff from other day. holy crap it wasTDS 263, pH 6.4. Do you suggest when it dries, do a watering test before pour and test runoff. 5 gallon fabric pot. thinking 1 gallon of water.
General rule of thumb is water to 20% runoff. 6.4 is a good ph. They are starving though! Gotta give nutes ph’d to the recommended range. How long have they been in veg?

Never mind, give them around 800 ppm of nutrients. You just started flowering.

Another general rule of thumb is not to let the Ppm’s drop below 300. Unless you’re doing a flush.
