I’m not suggesting you change it. I was just curious if you check your ph after you mix your nutes not before. If you adjust your ph before mixing your nutes then your nutes won’t properly be at the specific ph level you want.
I check my soil from time to time but I usually don't don't fret over it. I run my outdoor higher than recommended at 7-7.2 and they do great. My theory is that the girls in soil can pretty much safely run from the upper 5's to lower 7's with little consequence to nutrient uptake. Before anyone gets upset over that, it's just my opinion, doesn't mean it's right, and I don't use it when I suggest anything to other people. But it's how I operate. My reason, I'm already OCD and I dont need yet another thing to stress over. pH has never been a problem for me before and no pro grower I know here in the world checks it unless they're having problems.
