Hey False. Are you using any eart worm castings in that tea? Do you have any lime in your soil?

Yep....I use to have the same issues! No matter how much I bubbled it, I could never get the ph above 4.4. So I stopped bubbling and starting using the ph up.

OK , so now, day 4 of bubbling theres tons of foam on the surface and the ph is all of a sudden 7.5 . WTF ???

sounds like the mix came alive. did you add worm castings to the mix?
I made a very nice mix of rainbow mix bloom and EWC in stockings, with molasses and EJ catalyst. After a few days i had a foam and my pH was 8.5 or so.

fungi and bacteria can change the pH.

if you are willing to bubble for 4 days, think about making tea.

peace

just use plenty of lime in your soil and bubble for 2 days and feed.as long as your soil has lime earth juice is a good product.iwould not use it as a hydro grow just soil.
