oh and you know the plant I ran tons of ph up through.
I ran plain water through it just now and it has a ph now of 5.7
A good increase but still not high enough.

Ok SO i took my 2 moms and took a shower with them
Rinsed off all the dirt every bit I could probably damaged a few roots
and down the drain happy frog went.
Then I transfered to ocean forest.
this ocean forest starts with a ph of 6.8.
after transplanting into new soil I packed it a bit and watered it with 6.6
and tested the run off....
6.6..
Soooo lesson learned happy frog is crap garbage.
maybe you could add 5% happy frog to ocean forest to get the mycrobs growing in it.
But i fear even that much of that ph 4.8 crap will ruin the ocean forest.
This transplant was a good idea rite?

First of all, you can't measure the ppm of soil 
Secondly, I hope you didn't damage the roots too much, but if you didn't then your plant should be happy
third, stop being so intense, plants grow themselves, caring for them too much is definitely the worse option

Budman, you started out making me laugh with your spastic intensity, but you just use these forums to ask questions to which you don't listen to the answers, and to type freak outs in all caps. IMO you don't bring anything positive to the community.

what will the plant do though if during the transfer the roots were damaged badly.
the only time during transfer that I noticed something bad was when I couldn't get some of the thick dirt to break up and I shoved my thumb into it and I heard a root or few rip.

The side branches are already growing much faster in the ocean forest.
My plants lower leafs have always died off and I am sure it was that unhappy frog soil.
I expect to see much less leaf fall off with this OF soil.
in fact I even transplanted the other 3 plants today to OF.

as you can see my meter is pretty acurate but for some reason anything I ph with it without fertiliser or soil in it the ph always slowly goes down and then normaly stops.
Like it said 7.03 when I first put it in and it slowly went down to 6.98
to 6.89 and then stopped at 6.87..
Why does it do this?
I have only had it for about a month.
I use the storage solution and cleaning solution according to instructions.

Meters suck plain and simple. Your going way overboard. Just be sure the ph of the nutrient is good and you will be fine or you can keep trying futile efforts to keep the ph at the exact same level in soil. Now I do like your results but as you like to say "THE RESULTS CAN NOT BE DENIED!!! "
 
By the way the stuff used to adj the ph plants fucking hate so give it up bud cause it's not gonna happen. Your never gonna get the ph of the soil dialed in cause ph of soil will change as it dries or as the plants use the nutrients. Water goes down faster ph goes down. Nutrients get used faster ph goes up. You can't do shit to stop this so stop trying.
Try and keep the soil in a tolerated zone. 5.5 to 6.7 wouldn't be all that bad a zone. If your looking for total control the get rid of the soil and go hydro. Only way your gonna do it period.

now I know a transfer to new soil especially if you rinse away all the old soil can be stressful on a plant.
But now the lower part of the plant the older leafs are light green and starting to yellow.
So it seems like a N deficiency but this soil is suppose to be hot.
I watered with 6.6 water no nutes when transferring.
Do you think its doing this cause it needs to be fed?
Or is it doing this cause the roots need to spread through out the new soil?
I mean since the transfer all the root mass is now concentrated down the center of the pot.
Ideas suggestions?

yah, one suggestion
LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE.
There, i said it. Seriously man, give your plants some damn time to recover and establish in their new pots. Smoke a bowl, relax, and give it a day or so before you come back to it again. You're growing in soil, things take more time to adjust then they do in hydro. You go crazy like you just did with the damn PH and you'll just make things worse.
