Simple question about ph

[StevOrganic]

Hi guys so I am at day 54 with my amnesia haze auto from fastbuds and it looks like manganese is starting to get locked out. I suspect this is the case because my run off if coming out at 6.5 when feed is going in at about 6.7...

I did have an issue with underwatering between week 6 and 7 and also calmag deficiency showed up then so I have upped the calmag and seems to be doing the trick so this issue could have been triggered by the underwatering.

I know that run off is not very accurate but I am comparing the ph to what my run off was last grow using the same medium which is biobizz light mix and same nutes and that grow when things were going well the run off ph was 6 or less at same stage of growth so I'm guessing ph is the high 6's.

I am wondering if I ph'd the feed and dropped it to about 6.2 or 6.3 instead of 6.7 would this rebalance things? I would use biobizz ph down which is citric acid so I don't mess with the microlife does this sound like a good plan?

I just want to avoid running 3x times the volume of water through pot as its a 20l air pot as I have seen the destruction that nute lockout in flower can do and I want to get ahead of it and avoid if possible.

Thanks man.. Haha I suppose there isn't but I'm hoping the simple changing of ph might balance things out hopefully someone with more knowledge can confirm if this will work.

My bet is your probably right and it is just wishful thinking that it will work.
