i am about two weeks into my first indoor grow and i notice that even though my ph of my water and nute mix is 6.0 when i test the ph of my soil its still hovering right above seven. should i drop the ph of the water to try to get the soil to drop quickly or just keep giving it the 6.0 and let it drop slowly?

running fox farm grow big
and cal mag for veg, thank you for any help in advance!

I run foxfarm happyfrog soil.. and I've been taught to never ph your water between the water you use and your soil it should and the nutrients it will buff its self out...I never ph up anything anymore no need for meters

Don't get me wrong I still use a meter for my water just to see what the ph is after I added my nutes to the water ....however I just see what it is for my notes I do not use ph up or ph down...NO DONT WORRY ABOUT IT!! I LEARNED FROM A FEW OGS THAT HELP RUN THIS SITE WELL ONE MAINLY...AND NONE OF THEM USE ANYTHING PH UNLESS ITS HYDROPONICS

either way, thank you very much for the advice!!
one thing for sure, im not giving up haha

Probably not a bad idea to pH your input a little lower. I pH to 5.8 in 100% coco. I wouldn't do more than that.
