I haven't checked mine for a while either but I did diligently for a couple of years and I've a good sense on where my # are at but I needed that learning time to understand how they all worked together....2 years it got to be a habit until I tired of the effort & could predict my readings. I still read it if I see issues but its been a few months now since I've checked anything....feed / water / feed / water / transplant / feed / water / feed / water flower....ect....lolYeah I have never read my runoff EC or PH cuz I have been told, and I understand kinda, that its basically a waste of time in most scenarios. I think the only people worrying about runoff ec are hydro commercial growers trying to dial stuff in beyond what most rec growers would care about. So basically, I would just worry about input PH and just test the soil for its PH with a strip or a soil tester probe. I got a soil PH tester for my outdoor veg garden this past summer and it was pretty simple to use.
