I always like to double check my meter with drops. Takes 30 seconds and drops are super cheap. I always worry about meters.
I grow in soil with organic nutrients and have never seen a hollow stem. But I also haven't grown an auto.
I'm not saying that's what's going on, but I'm curious now.
And don't trust that pH pen, lol.
I’ve heard ppl say that ph up/down liquid can kill microbes. I haven’t had to ph in a while.I always like to double check my meter with drops. Takes 30 seconds and drops are super cheap. I always worry about meters.
Yeah, I have too being in coco. I use Armor si if I need PH up. Never grown in soil so I can't comment on the microbe thing. @PadawanWarrior would know more about that.I’ve heard ppl say that ph up/down liquid can kill microbes. I haven’t had to ph in a while.
Yeah, mine works well too. I keep it in storage solution and it holds well. I still like to do a quick drop test to double check. I am just paranoid.My ph pen works flawless. I calibrate it every 2 weeks if it needs it or not.
I got a cheap ph pen and I don’t store it correctly. It tells me what I wanna see, so we have a great relationship.Yeah, mine works well too. I keep it in storage solution and it holds well. I still like to do a quick drop test to double check. I am just paranoid.
I wouldn't use it in my organic soil, but I'm doing no-till. I let the soil and microbes adjust the pH. I wouldn't use chemical nutes on it either though.Yeah, I have too being in coco.

I’m using AN nutes connoisseur grow A&B. Haven’t used them yet at this point yet. Only 5ml/gal of calmag twice a week.I wouldn't use it in my organic soil, but I'm doing no-till. I let the soil and microbes adjust the pH. I wouldn't use chemical nutes on it either though.
I also wouldn't have a problem using silica to raise the pH of the solution. I even have some that's made from rice hulls that's actually organic too. But I wouldn't have a huge problem using Pro-TeK either even though it's not organic.
I try not to shock the microbes with high NPK or really high or low pH. I'm working on water only now, with top dressing. My well water is usually around 7.2- 7.9 depending, and I don't do anything to it.
Gotcha.. was there before coming here to see what was up lol the one guy hijacked your thread, and the guy that confused you was replying to the person who hijacked. It’s all good lol no one got hurt.Hey @HydroKid239 can I borrow you over in this other thread bro?
I'm working on some Bluelab gear.I didn't I bought another one and that was crap, bought bottle pH tester kit for now, gotta save up for a good pen, it was only the one auto can't say I've seen others.
