PH meter?

I love it when I learn something first thing in the morning!!! Dr., thats real good info. I've always maintained that that was somehow pertinent to soil, but I could never figure out how. One could also use EC to figure salt build up as well. Thanks for that.

Started there, went to bit better hannah, now I said @!*&@ it I got a Blue Labs Combo Meter. Expensive yes, but the first time in years I feel like I am rock solid on knowing my water information. Its fast too, saves me minutes a day, and over years thats a lot of savings.

No, but they work well in 25 and 55 gal drums. I only monitor the runoff anyway (as a rule) For milk bottles, I'd get the one with the separate probe.

Jack were here to help each other more you know about your water the better your yields are goin to be also with ec/ ppm you can really dial in your food schedule make up a food chart and your on your way i push the envelope every grow

i here ppl say they never use ph or ppm and have good grows all i can say is you bin lucky and prob not getting maximum yields out of your girls like if you had the ph ppm tools

The run-off gives me a good idea of whats going on at the rootball. pH going in is gonna change. If you use chemical nutes, I'd get it pH'ed to what you need, but that is gonna change to what ever the pH is inside. It's the run-off you want to monitor. I know the pH of my water going in, so I don't worry about that too much. Well buffered soil will correct the pH of anything coming in. Understanding pH is crucial. If the medium isn't buffered, any corrections made to the solution going in will be temporary at best.
