trying to head off a problem early

And as important. How's the runoffs pH?

been flushing w pH 6.1 water, runoff pH is 6.5

Then I would continue flushing with pH 5.7 until the runoff is 6.0. Then flush one last time with until 20% runoff with pH 5.9 water and a normal dose of nutrients. That way you give the plants something to feed on after this ordeal...

I've probably run 20 gallons thru this 3 gallon smartpot and am only at pH 6.2

is it _possible_ that it can't get to 6.0?

I've been running the AN Nutes which has weird stuff in it to auto-pH the solution... (see my original post)

thanks

In fact, as I was preparing a new nute solution, I tested my RO water (pH 7.0), put in my AN ph perfect base nutes, and checked pH on the solution - 6.0!! I'm thinking whatever AN put in the base nutes to manage pH has kept me from getting the flushed pots to 6.0 on their own.

6.2 is fine. Add your regularly scheduled nutes
