No, as @MIGrampaUSA said, Ph of 7.5 should be fine unles your medium is at that Ph. Most nutes are slightly acidic and everything works out pretty well, especially in soil based grows. To get your PPM reading, there are two measurements to keep in mind. The outflow after a flush will give you an idea of what is remaining in the soil. If you read at the beginning of a flush, you get a better idea of the current root zone conditions before the extra nutes are washed away.My regular water is around 7.5 ph. I bring it down to about 6Ph. In order to get a ppm reading, won’t I have to to flush so I can get run off to test? Again it’s my first grow, so learning as I go.

In terms of the plant, is it looking healthy besides the minor problems I ran into?Just keep giving it water until it starts to bounce back IMO. Once it starts to bounce back add like half or 1./3 the strength of the nutes. You cannot really feed the plant based on the schedule on the bottle because the light source does not match what the nutrient company did their test under.
First, never feed a plant in coco pure water without nutrients. Even when you flush mid grow, use a dilute nutrient solution. Pure water can really mess with plants in coco. If you see high ppm coming out, feed it a lower ppm.
Secondly I'd consider using an enzyme product to attempt to break down some of the excess nutrients and any dead root matter. PPm of runoff doesnt tell you how much salt is left still stuck in the media.
And my number 1 suggestion would be to avoid getting caught up with too many details and just stick to feeding a basic complete fertilizer, and keep ppm below 500 considering the low light condition. Attempting to fix problem after perceived problem often causes more harm.
Interesting, that’s the first time I’ve heard that or read that and I’ve done a lot of research. Obviously with the stress the yield is going to be demolished but do you think, based off the pics, this plant will make it 3 more weeks till harvest? Additionally, what enzyme would you consider using? Open for all recommendations!First, never feed a plant in coco pure water without nutrients.
