ive never ph'd my runoff, i ph adjust my water (even when feeding) to about 6.2-6.4, Ive never had any problems so far. But yeah, your not going to do any harm by ph'ing the water to 7 and then seeing if the runoff increases, you really dont want to ph above 7, i believe it will effect the plants ability to uptake nutrients, but ive never watered with it that high so im not sure. If your not noticing any abnormal growth, then keep with 6.5. Hope that helps, im a newb too, but my first grow is going perfectly, check my journal, lemme know if i can help more. cya

I fix my PH leval 6.8 before watering and comes out fine, even on the Other End drainage of the PH some times the water looks Brown like yea might not get a reading butyea do.
I also use a 6 way pool tester, but been thinking about something else to use that be Alot Easyer down the road..

Lemon Juice MmMM what a Aroma Smell when walking into the room going to try grapefruit jucie and some other juice, that might lower the PH down.. Play while Growing..
