 fixing the ph in hempy buckets

I have a smaller batch of plants in my grow and there bottom leaves are beginning to turn yellow.. I also noticed on two of my bigger plants the leaves are starting to turn slightly inward. from pics and research It appears there is some salt build up in my containers. I tested the run off solution and its pretty low at about 7.5 How do you guys recommend I correct this problem? just flush with ph balanced water?

ya hawk. Been feeding at about 6, the larger two I have have been feeding 1220ppm as of last week. I think your probably right about the ph got me a little concerned. Is that something that would cause the bottom leaves to turn yellow?

they were in cups about a month I just transplanted about 2 days ago. the containers i transplanted into are two route 44 cups from sonic and two 2liter bottles that had coke in them. all the pineapple expresses that is.. I keep jumping between plants.. those are the ones with the yellow leaves.

My substrate in my hempys tends to be a little bit alkaline too. What I do is, during feeding, I collect the run off for each plant and then re-adjust the run off, and re feed the plants the run off. I repeat this, until the substrate has a PH of about 5.8 or so. This way, you don't waste as much water and you can really get the whole medium nice and moist with like half the buckets volume in nutrient solution.
That just sounds like a bad idea.
why do you think this is a bad idea just curious?
