Finally calibrated my ph pen again today and found it was 0.8 out......

Little wonder my plants are looking fried lol..

How much did you pay for the calibration solution?

How much did you pay for the calibration solution?

Had a couple free with pen, need to get some more now tho to regularly monitor the pen..

 

[THCBrain]

That's what I need to do, I didn't realise you was using the one that came with the pen, I think I have seen the solution for less than £10. Unless it was something different....

I just got some di-ironised water from halfords and used free powder, adjusted the pen to 6.9 then..

Just need to remember to ph the fkn feed after adding nutes lol

 

[THCBrain]

Do you ph your water then add nutes and ph again? I was always told to add my nutes to the water and anything else then ph it at the end....

Make sure you note what ph each plant likes aswel as doses

 

[THCBrain]

Least you have been able to work out what you've been doing wrong.

What is the humidity in your grow at the moment? Mines really really low.

My plants look ok.

@Labs Dexter im keeping the PH between 6.2-6.5 at the moment. Have you changed yours?

Untill I sort my pen out I'm not sure. But if you keep it at that it's good my plants love it, I know its about 6.2 or 6.0 and my soil has really low peat mainly fiber stuff...

so i don't know if it's because of that the are okay with a low ph.

Really don't know lmao all I know they like it how I do it and I don't feed allot I'm abit nervous of over feeding issues.

Does your soil have the PH and EC written on the bag?

My rooting clones are 5.8-6.0 moving up. Nothing against PH 6. N uptake is better at that level. I'm gonna raise my PH soon.

My friend is using the PH drops and she's ok with them. I want her to get a Bluelab PH pen like mine.

 

[theslipperbandit]

Hanna all the way.cheap n bang on.

I need one of those too

Hanna/ Milwaukee? Got a PH pen of theirs here. It's so slow to give me a reading. It's doesn't tell me when it needs to be calibrated either. You like them?

Better than Adwa, no where near blue lab imo.
