Hi bro,i have never checked the ph, i just use distilled water and happy frog soil that says it has the perfect oh balance. should i start chching it?
It depends on your budget, but you can get pretty cheap pH meters on ebay (under $20). That's where I got mine (ebay UK). You'll also probably need calibration fluid to calibrate the meter the first time you use it to make sure it gives accurate readings.
If your ladies are looking healthy, you might not need to check the pH of the water, but if things start to get a little hairy later on during the grow, being able to check pH can help diagnose the problem.
Pulling up a chair. All the best for this grow.
