optic says it mate
no need for checking it. if u use a good coco coir and know that you give them. Use around pH 5,5 in the beginning of a cycle and maybe towards pH 6,0 towards the end and you should be fully sorted.

I agree with the previous to posters. Just ph the liquids going into the coco and you're good. Coco is good with ph. It will naturally drift up in a recirc set up so 5.5 is a good starting point, letting it drit up to 6.0-6.2 before adjusting. Now ec in coco is a whole other matter.

No, keep pH of feed going in between 5.8-6.2 and you will be ok, i never check run off

Ive always used a gh ph test kit, very accurate and cheap... You could test your runoff with that..

1. Three Factors That Can Impact The pH Of Growth Media
https://www.greenhousegrower.com/pr...ctors-that-can-impact-the-ph-of-growth-media/
a) Water alkalinity (much more so than water pH)
b) Form of Nitrogen in the fertilizer
c) plant species (for us, not a huge concern)
