High #’s is it lockout. What can I do?

10 gallon fabric w/ff ocean

One thing is the ph is too low. Should be 6.5.
Pics would be good.

Just after giving nutrients. Stopped giving after.

What kind of nutes?

You’re right around the time I expect fox farms soil to tank in pH. My gut feeling is to flush the soil and start back with the nutrients but I need more info first. I.e. what you feed, how often, how many times total, etc.

Advanced nutrients ph perfect. Only fed twice and that was about 4 weeks ago then ph went down and I stopped.
Put lime in 10 days ago.
I top dressed with build a soil top dress kit 4 weeks in.
Top dress with build a soil natural ingredients about 7 weeks in.

I water with distilled water

Build a soil craft blend nutrients is that last top dress

What is input ph of water?
Given the top dressing and adding lime I am not overly concerned with ppm / ec. pH is definitely low for soil. Given the mix and match I would give the lime the opportunity to do its thing. And see where runoff ph is after the next 1 or 2 water only. May want to ph water to 6.8 ±.

What is the best way to flush a 10 gallon fabric pot on a pot riser? You just pour water in by the gallon or a slow pour?
