First test your water you have there (you have the correct amount of nutes in the water right?). Depending on the ph, adjust accordingly up or down. On the bottle of PH up and PH down you bought (right?). :peace:
No, i didnt buy ph upper or downer. I need to know how to make my own.

Thanks guys for the info, I think I'm going to get that one on eBay, they have strips locally where I'm at and they cost 14 bucks, why not spend a lil extra for something that will last a lot longer.

The only thing with the ph pen is that you have to make sure you keep the end probe thing in a solution. If it goes dry, you're fucked and have to get a new one.
Yeah I read the description and it stated to keep the tip of the pin in regular tap water, also is the calibration solution, used to correct your ph balance?

Again Thanks! Sorry Weed Guy didn't mean to intrude on your thread, just some good information is being put out here.

I let mine dry out after each use... it works fine. All I do, is rinse it under running water, then wiggle it about in a small amount of water... then I recap it and put it back in its case. The only reason they tell you to leave it in some solution for a while is to rid the sensitive end of any salt build-ups from your nutes. If you let it dry with the nutes still on it, it may not give such an accurate reading the next time you feed.:mrgreen:

You have to wait till the middle of november till you get any money?

PH down is only £4 a bootle, likewise ph up. Total £8-£10. What's the point in having a tester, if you haven't got the up and down? Surely you can get a tenner from somewhere.:blsmoke:

How do i adjust the PH? (up and down(DIY methods and official products please
Greetings Weed Guy. Just read your entire thread. Just wanted to know if you bought or got any free buffering solution to calibrate your pH tester. I'm not sure which one you bought but most of them have to be calibrated two times, that being a low number and then a high number. It should have came with some and the directions should tell you what type you are going to have to buy. Hope things are going well for you man.
