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’ve never seen a purpose to test soil ph. I’ve always felt that ph-ing nutes before feeding was good enough.
I moved from city life a year and 3 months ago. I’m very pleased with the well water out hear. I run it through a RO filter. My city water was at 8.1-8.5 depending on time of year. Out here it’s a constant 7.0.And ya know I grew for many years and never gave it a second thought. I moved and started back up doing exactly the same things I had before and holy shit I had major issues. Way different tap water, different elevation, air quality, humidity, etc.
I learned that I couldn’t keep doing things the same way (I was used to) and expect to get the results I was getting before. So I had to start diagnosing each element until I could pinpoint the problem. The difference in ph in my well water was a good 1.5-2 points in the opposite direction. That factor alone made a huge difference.

I'm also not caring about optimal just functional. These girls are for seed, so I don't care how big the blooms are or how thick they are with crystals. I'm only trying to get decent little supply of seeds.
I tell ya what. A good soil ph pen is a nice tool to have. Makes the task effortless.
Adjusting to new lights, new grow space and all sorts of other variables takes time to dial in but knowing exactly where you stand on one things certainly helps.
I’m like you smithjun
I don’t doubt it. Any change can make a huge difference. But luckily your change was for the better :)

Gotta keep those temps higher tho bro.I started with Krazy Kelp 1-0-17. Got it for $8 cause I'm always smokin out and giving weed to the Hydro shop guys. If in a few days they don't perk, I'll do the Epsom salt.

No you misled :)No you misunderstood, the temps outside are in the 40'sF. Not necessarily in the tent. They get minimal airflow in the last 30min of the light cycle to allow heat to build up for the night. I also have a heat pad under the two Banana Ice cream.
No you misled :)
What are temps inside the tent?
Still man 50. Its still pretty low. I know you’re not trying to harvest buds from these but the overall health will affect the seed quality too.I did not mislead, that signifies intent. I went back and read it and I can see how it does look like I could mean in the tent as well. Honestly, I don't know. The battery is dead in my hygrometer but my guess is close about 5-10deg warmer, cooling more near morning.

Made me think of this :)I know, I know. But I don't have a choice. I guess I could try to light dep a space in my room with cardboard but I have some severe mold allergies and have to be extremely careful about uncontrolled moisture. I was going to buy two little tents for my room but I had too many pressing bills and I never stall off bills now that I'm older and wiser.
I'm hoping to get the little tents next month, fingers crossed and praying. I had to buy my bubble bags and replace my rosin press's bottle jack first, cause that's $$$ in the bank. I needed those first cause I'm husltlin hard this year with no help and I need concentrates ready. I still haven't finished the last 1.5lbs of hand trimming but I did figure out a system to get the bowl trimmer to get them right... about... <there>. Got em tight without butchering the trichs and saved myself a week's work.
I'll be able to make the tents happen but I've wrung the turnip 10x already this month and I'm sick of eating home made soups (I'm a f^ckin awesome cook, but still. Hehe).
