I bought one of those multi-use tools from Vivosun. It checks soil moisture, soil ph, and light intensity. My soil is reading 7.5 in a reading in moist soil. I have my nutrient/water pH at 5.8. Can I adjust the overall pH with a change to the nutrient/water pH?

In what medium are you growing and what nutrients are you using?

Does the plant absorb water or soil ?
Adjust your ph 6.5 water the plant . Never check the soil ph ever again . Unlees your organic with living soil.
Are you feeding nutrietns if so no need to ever check soil ph .

Those 3 n 1 meters are not the best to test your soils pH with. And interesting point on the water only mattering if your feeding from the bottle and not the soil. I'm not a bottle feeder but if I was I'd go for that 5.8

Unless you're seeing plant symptoms that might be explained by high pH, I wouldn't worry about it. Happy Frog buffers pH well, and readings from consumer-grade soil testers aren't the most dependable.
