I have been using the drops again but just got my pen fixed, so back to the blue labs. Only thing I don't like about drops is adjust.... check.... adjust.... check...
Christ i must be color blind lol. I tried the drops thought things were just great! Buddy came over with bluelab and i was running around 4.5! Just couldnt get the hang of the drops! Use em for the hot tub though ....😎.
Drops should be yellow with a slight orange hue for 5.8.... yellow is 6.0; at least the general hydro ph drops work that way. It comes with an orange vial for testing, but I use a clear shot glass.
It was a few years ago that i tried the drops so Im sure they have improved. Probably a good backup in case of dead batteries, broken pen, etc. i will check into them next time i slither into the grow shop. Christ i hate going to that place!!! Feel like I'm being filmed lol.
