hi all
a question on PH testing nutrients .
I have a PH testing kit ,which really is a bit shitty ,I don't think its all that good ,but I suppose its better than no tester , as you know you get a colour chart with the kit & PH UP-PH DOWN .when I got some spare cash I will get a bluelab pen .
the colour chart as different colour with ph numbers ,going through the chart from high/low .
every time I do my mix of nutrients I always check the colour ,it always turns out golden/yellowish which indicates high ?
so I add a few drops of PH DOWN its always ph down I have to add never ph up ?
,this brings the colour to around 6.0.6.5 under 7.0 anyway .which on the chart is a red/pinkish colour .
so really every time I mix nutes I just test first turns out yellow/golden ,I just add a few drops ph down ,then it turns pinkish ,I know its close too the right ph .
what do you think .what's the worst it can do if ph is to low ?
any help appreciated
