Wow. Thats a very low pH. What are you using to measure your pH? Ive personally only ever used pH drops to measure with. Those readings would mean that your soils pH is under 4 for sure, not exactly sure of exact formula. Im assuming your just testing new soil out of the bag? If my memory serves me correct FFOF is supposed to be pre pH'd to like 6.5-7.2The pH of the water going in is 7.0 and coming out is at 4.5.

LOL He said he was just setting up! Im assuming he isnt even growing yet......Salt Buildup like a mofo…. Flush flush flush!!!!!
Why are you concerned with run-off here? Are you having problems? If so, what are they? You're chasing numbers and you'll kill doing that. Observe, THEN make changes if observations say they're warranted. If you haven't even started then you're not even correctly testing the soil itself using a method like this.I am currently setting up to start a grow and from what I understand the Ph run off should be around 6.0 to 7.0. I did a test using Fox Farm Ocean Forest and when I tested the run off it was under 6.0. I read some info saying to add 5 to 6 tablespoons of dolomite lime. I added it mixed it in with the soil and got the same results. I am using 4 gallon pots and am curious about how much dolomite lime I should use. I don't want to over do it because I added a lot more and it actually changed the soil whereby it seems hard like mud when wet and this happened when I decided to try the pelletized dolomite lime.

I agreeOh god, please throw the pH pens away. Let the soil food web do the work. ;)
