Blue Lab PH pens are not good

[1212ham]

Supposedly, the ions in the bulb will diffuse out; the 4M KCL keeps things at an equalibrium
I can't picture how glass could be permeable but that's what I've read

So long as you can still calibrate it to get reliable readings, maybe the storage solution is unnecessary or you're lucky

Permeable to ions. They're really small!

I use cheap ph pens. They work fine for a while with proper care. The one I'm using now cost me $6 last year. It will be cheaper for me to buy a new one than buy replacement batteries when they run out.

So you currently own an Apera soil pH pen?

I was wondering the same thing. Hes full of shi*

in all honesty, pH drops are the best. they never fail, no batteries, etc

Unless you're colorblind.

I’ve had my MW-121 (I believe) for almost 10 years, replaced 2 probes and I’m due for another. Mines the old grey version but I’m debating going with a Bluelab instead of replacing probe, to gain the additional EC meter.

Must be a MW-101, I have the MW-102.

In almost every post, the funniest one was you have both Apera and Bluelab soil pH probes but you barely use them.

 

[rkymtnman]

Unless you're colorblind.

then to follow that logic, a pH meter wouldn't work for the blind. come on , dude

and then you're gonna post a pic of a pH meter with vocal readings.

He's probably talking about strips or drops. More men are color blind than you'd think. And a lot don't even know it.

Well I'm colorblind dude, along with 8% of the male population, so the drops don't work for me.

I was tested way back in elementary school, and have a green-red deficiency. I can still discern green from red, but have troubles sometimes with shades which include green and red. Purple and turquoise are tricky for me. I'm actually pretty good with colors given my handicap. I used to work as a color printer, and later as a theatrical lighting designer, so I've trained my eyes pretty well, given the circumstances.

I've heard it might be closer to 10%. But if you're one, I'm sure you know way more than me. I had no idea you were colorblind. That's what we have to put up with I guess being male. But at least we can pee standing up,

pH pens, drops and litmus paper all work if you use, store and operate them correctly.

If you're bashing one of the most well known and reputable pH pen brands you only come out sounding retarded. I had my old Bluelab pen for well over 10 years.

Dam I didn't know they were that old

 

[UpstateRecGrower]

Blue Lab PH pens suck, they're junk. They take forever to get a reading. Use Apera they're pretty quick and more accurate.

 

[Wastei]

They've been around as long as I've been growing. Probably over 30 years and one of the most well known brands globally.

That's why I don't understand the bashing, any pH pen that's not been stored correctly will only last a couple of months instead of years.

Sorry dude, I thought you were showing off the shortness of your junk. You are just a poser when it comes to growing weed but you are definitely kind man in personal life.

He doesn’t come out of his cave for a few more hours, he’ll get back to you then.
