I may be putting Fox farm in the rear view mirror. This is my second grow in a row that I've struggled in flower keeping the pH up. I've been using FF for a long time, not just on recreational, but our veg and herbs. I run soil and coco grows, nothing has changed , not light, not temp, not humidity, not nutrients, etc. My plants in coco are perfectly fine, no new challenges. I contacted FF asking if they had made any changes to their soil mix, more or less of anything I could adjust for. They only replied that they assure me they use only quality products in the soil. That's not a good enough answer for me. Well I can assure them when I go to garden factory next week to up pot all our outdoor bucket veggies and garden plants in the greenhouse to sell I won't be getting a pallet of FF. I am to busy to be fixing pH drops every 3-4 days. Sorry to rant, I'm beyond frustrated.

You may be onto something here...I'm on my second grow in FFOF and have noticed the same thing, my run off was just shy of 6.0 a couple of times. I just went into flower and after the first 1/2 dose feeding am back up to 6.2-6.4 (going in at 6.8-6.9) but there were times in went in at 7 and the run off was under 6 and it was driving me crazy...the girls looked fine so I just rolled with it but I'm maybe they did change something in the soil.
Was thinking about moving to coco for the next grow so this may just seal the deal
Damn that's a bummer. Stuck in the 5's?
