What is going on with this?

well one thing,. with that medium your growing in you should not be ph’ing anything,.. it’s counterproductive to what the soil is trying to do..

Well if I didn't my ph would be close to 9 so it would almost be unusable??

Dang, that's out of tap? How are you PH'ing it? with one of those meter things? Did you calibrate it right? You absolutely sure it's that high?

So do I just let the water flow at its regular ph I mean it's not going to be the exact bc I use ph nutes or wtv

Yes that's from tap if u look at the images it's like 8.85 that's from my city water report
Yes I use a meter and I did calibrate it I used the 6.58 one
When i use the ph meter it usually is between 8.85 and 8.75 before anything
I'm also looking into an ro cleaner or wtv

Is that what it is I've been trying to figure it out and nobody's been able to tell me anything other than it's stunted (alr knew it was stunted) and it's a calmag or just a magnesium deficiency
How do I lower my runoff ph do I just lower my pH for water or is it my intake water that's causing it?
My runoff ph is above 7 on all 3 but I put in ph 6.4-6.5
I also just recently started testing runoff ph

Something is causing a ph rise, don’t go drastic with any changes.Big swings in ph will cause leaf damage and slowed growth .Generally you don’t need to ph soil like that,BUT, if the root zone ph is too high, you’ll get lockout of certain minerals. I would ph my feeds at 6.0-6.2 for a couple feeds and check runoff’s each time. In soil, you don’t need much runoff, just enough to check. Again, go easy as soil is slower to change than other mediums.

How do you bring the ph down?

Have you tried just for experimental purposes just using the tap water like that or you never tried it?

With that much chlorine, sodium, and high ph in your water, you may need to get an RO system or at least a good filter for your tap, or collect rain water.

I was thinking ab either collecting rain water or just getting an ro thing geekpure has one that I thought about
