JSON buffer - wrong data using SparkJson library

Struggling to figure out why the code below is returning incorrect json data for the ORP measurement but a direct publish to Particle cloud is correct. See switch (code), case 1. The resulting json shows the ph measurement for the ORP reading

int channel_ids[] = {98,99};

char *channel_names[] = {"ORP","PH"}; 

StaticJsonBuffer<200> jsonBuffer;

JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.createObject();

void setup() {                      // startup function
  Serial.begin(9600);	            // Set the hardware serial port.
  Wire.begin();			    // enable I2C port.
  Particle.variable("poolTemp", fahrenheit);
  Particle.publish("version", "v1.2");
  Blynk.begin(auth);
}


void loop() {
  Blynk.run();
  //-------------------------------------
  //get and send temp
  //-------------------------------------
  if (millis() - msLastSample >= msSAMPLE_INTERVAL){
    getTemp();
  }

  if (millis() - msLastMetric >= msMETRIC_PUBLISH){
    Serial.println("Publishing now.");
    root["timestamp"] = Time.now();
    publishTempData();
    getPublishProbes();

    //write json string
    root.printTo(jsonString, sizeof(jsonString));
    Serial.println(jsonString);
    //publish the json to particle cloud
    Particle.publish("PoolSensor", jsonString,60,PRIVATE); 
  }
}

void publishTempData(){
  if(!ds18b20.crcCheck()){      //make sure the value is correct
    return;
  }

      in_char = Wire.read();            // receive a byte.

      if (in_char == 0) {               // null character indicates end of command
        Wire.endTransmission();         // end the I2C data transmission.
        break;                          // exit the while loop, we're done here
      }
