Thats a good idea, other than the sticky i find forgotten cookies the best just pull few leafs off and shes done and no fluff on her, even little lower stuff is like bullets. NO WASTE

@IronGiant runoff is a coco thing it doesn't work with soil. You can buy a pH probe like the accurate 8, or do soil slurry tests. Slurry testing is what I do.

Equal parts soil (taken from about halfway between stem and edge of pot. An inch or so down) and the water source you use regularly. A couple tablespoons is plenty.
Let set about as long as it would take to run thru the pot, and then take its pH. (Careful, glass bulb and perlite don't mix well)

I usually take a reading 3 times a grow before planting, at flowering, and mid flower.

Many soils out there will drift low on pH as some things break down and our plants are feeding.

Just feeding @6.5 many times is not enough to stay in range.

This is where I start, if the soil pH is on spot, then we can look at deficiency/toxicity issues.

I use nectar for the gods nutes, my up is a liquid lime, so it sticks in the soil and helps correct low issues. Standard pH up and down is only meant to change the pH of your feed, and will have a difficult time bringing the soil pH up.

Spotting looks like Mg to me, both calcium and mg uptake fall off under 6.5... but the little white dots bother me a bit as well. Possible critters?

Thanks for the help.

Calibrated my meter and measured the soil slurry as suggested. Came in at 6.01
Whats the next step?

Yeah I have spider mites. I treated the plants on Sat with SB Plant Invigorator, so hopefully that sorts that issue.

tag arthur in your post and ask him the best coarse of action

If you have a shop around, you could amend with some lime.
Baking soda will also do, mix up a couple gallons of water and use baking soda to adjust the pH up. Not drastically, 6.6, 6.7. We don't want to shock the microbial life. The sodium bicarbonate will stick around in the soil and bring the pH back up.

PH is like earthquakes, a .1 difference doesn't seem like a lot, but it is on a bell curve.
