neither slurry or runoff will tell you what is really going on
I have grown in soil for ever
microbes break down elements into usable form
the plant has it's own ph so to speak in the rhizosphere
if you are growing organically then none of what hydro understands....means anything whatsoever
so no ph-ing the water
no filtering.....not even chlorine
if growing organically
tea every week
microbes once a week or bi weekly
and that is it
no slurry tests
no runoff tests
no water ph
all that does is a big fat.........nothing when it comes to organics
now if growing outdoors
in ground
then slurry and soil samples matter because you have to know what needs to be added to get the best from your crops
if he is using nutes and his medium is something like promix
then 6.5ph feed and get about 10% runoff
and only water when the pot becomes light...just before the plant is gonna wilt
That's what my cali professor said,, and he has been growing for decades...
I would research this till the cows come home....
