Low pH in coco run-off water

Week 3 in , watering 3 times a day and I get good runoff but the pH is dropping. I feed at 6.2 and the pH is coming out at 5.5.

Does overly wet coco drop in pH? Plants look fine but I don’t want future issues.

In: 6.2pH/ 1.9EC
Out: 5.5pH/ 1.3EC
 
Looks good IMO. Just means they’re eating. More run-off or more frequent feedings will likely lessen the gap, but I think you’re in a good range for uptake. I let my res pH swing from 5.5 to 6.2 and feed constantly. I honestly don’t bother to check run off unless something is visibly wrong.
