Do you guys keep your Bluelab guardian monitor probes in your reservoir for extended periods? Or do you store them in Bluelab Storage Solution between feedings? Also how often do you clean the probes?

I'm wondering because I was thinking of leaving my probes in the res for 2-3 days at a time before cleaning/calibrating.
Not sure if it's a good idea.

Please share your knowledge!

Very rarely. But I don't use Humic Acid or Organic crap in res.

I don't calibrate mine that often either. Every few weeks, and its usually still on or off by a tenth (YMMV.) But it doesn't hurt anything. Plants like a range of PH, and its a decent range. People get hung up and needing an exact ph all the time, when you really don't. So letting your margin of error slide a little is no big deal.
