I do strongly suggest a meter. Be careful, i thought i damaged mine. they do need to be taken care. if my plants required me to read a strip they would have died a long time ago. Those are hard to read.

What type of PH up/down products are you using??? I have heard several people claim the same thing when using GENERAL HYDROPONICS PH UP/DOWN . I use Europonics and have heard great results with Advanced Nutrients up/down. FOr some reason the Gen Hydro stuff doesnt stabilize as fast

well I was just using distilled water from wal mart when I tested it with my ph tester it said 7.0 and to soak my rockwool cubes I need 5.5ph. so I would make it in those gallon jugs of water
