Thanks for the reply bro.If your putting in 6.5 it should come out as 6.5 which tells me that you might have acidic root. It’s probably 5.1 so I would try continuing watering for a couple watering at 6.5. And try upping the cal mag if you’re using any.
Just measured and it is currently at 267ppm.How many ppm is your tap water?
Watering practices and pot sizes?
Pics of the plants from the side looking through the canopy?
I mix my feed then lower ph with vinegar to 6.3 PH every time no exceptions.Are you ph adjusting the ph after adding everything to it?
Water to get 20% runoff each time you do. This will help keep any buildup to a minimum.
Do you have any house water filter or softeners?
What is the ppm going in after all nutrients added?
If it’s that much ppm coming out then it’s probably cause the plants aren’t up taking nutrients properly because of lock out. You need to find out why it’s locking out before it affects yield. Definitely try to do 7. Also it could be that one of the primary nutrients (npk) is to much and causing the lock out. And if nothing else check every leaf in top and under for bugs.Bump.
I have read on Bio Bizz website: Biobizz products only contain natural organic elements rather than mineral salts such as magnesium or sulfates that you might find in synthetic fertilizers. This gives All·Mix a high Electrical Conductivity (EC) value. And while its organic elements are impossible to measure, they do have a self-regulating system, which helps maintain the pH values at the correct level. I have just tested run off and it is now coming in at 2000ppm. Would this explain this?
I have fed the plants some calmag however the plants are still getting worse...
I fed at 7.0 PH last watering and no change in run off numbers. No bugs found.If it’s that much ppm coming out then it’s probably cause the plants aren’t up taking nutrients properly because of lock out.

It will take a couple of watering to bring it back into range. Too acidic of soil at the root zone can cause root hairs to die back. Maybe try buying a soil ph meter? I would recommend blue labs if you got the funds. LolI fed at 7.0 PH last watering and no change in run off numbers. No bugs found.
I have ordered some dolomite lime to try and up the PH of the soil.
I mix my feed then lower ph with vinegar to 6.3 PH every time no exceptions.
I tend to water until a little run off as I am in organic soil.
No house water filter, straight from the tap and left out for 24 hours to evaporate chlorine.
I just mixed up a batch and it came in at 705ppm. Why is runoff at 1400ppm?
For me the additional cost of PH down is worth the piece of mind.
BioBizz PH Down is basically citric acid tho. (quoting their website: Bio·Down is an aqueous solution made of citric acid found naturally in different citrus fruits, such as lemons. ) But I agree with Citric acid being kinda unstable, read a lot of info on this and majority seem to be of a same mind. Here's a link I found that might be useful for PH adjusting btw!
Are giving plain non RO water every 3rd watering like the mfg'r suggests?I mix my feed then lower ph with vinegar to 6.3 PH every time no exceptions.

He shouldnt really need to ph after fert additions. He should be adding ferts to buffered water and just adding enough to bring the ph to 6.1 to 6.3 like the bottle says...your nutes may have gotten too warm at some point too.. these nutes are really temp sensitive....75ish is what temp they should be stored atBioBizz PH Down is basically citric acid tho.

Stop using vinegar.I mix my feed then lower ph with vinegar to 6.3 PH every time no exceptions.
