Ph means everything!! If you are using 100s of dollars worth of nutes. And your Ph is off. You are pouring money down the drain. Because a plant cant absorb nutes. If the ph is screwed. Its called nutrient lock.

I've gone without one forever. Only used one when I ran coco. I think I will invest in a blue pen this year tho. Would be more for peace of mind

All you need is Ph up Ph down with test kit from General hydroponics. its 20 bucks. A good ph meter is expensive and cheap ones will screw u over.

The cheap ph pens are completely fine. If someone isnt keeping the probe in storage solution, and checking the calibration at least once every few weeks, that's their fault, not the equipment.

My buddy swears that too. He has to calibrate it a lot, but i have to admit, he keeps his ph in check lol

A lot of people say they go without PHing their water but i have found this impossible for me personally. Even with dolomite in the soil i get crazy ph lockout if i dont ph my water. Ever since buying a bluepen my plants are way better.

What you have learned is you gotta do what works for you. Not what works in someone elses environment and thier soil.

Your situation is not the same.

Because apart from cannabis everyone else manages to run pre made potting soil without any ph adjustments or ph meter.

Those who use ph in soil, we tom growers salute your dumbness.

Theres so many questioning soil and ph its best you give an accurate answer or stop trolling.

Trolling puts you in the dumb catagory, the right answer help lots kickstart their learning stead of circle spinning till they drop 100 $€£ on bluelabs latest.

It seems simple to.me that im not here for you or similar but just to drop some info for those that can read and just want one answer not your ten guesses!
