ok so the issue im having is when i mix up water in a bucket, (yes its a clean bucket), i ph the bucket of water, it reads say 5.4, i mix well and use a smaller cup for watering, i test the bucket each time i get a new cup and i test that cup as well as mixing up the bucket each time, the cup will always read a higher ph than the bigger container or bucket. why is that? yes the ph meter was working fine, its the same everytime i switch from the cup to the bucket 5.4 in the bucket 6.1 in the cup.. i changed the batteries as well in my digital ph meter. ive only recently switch to using a bucket compared to normally using a gallon jug and only phing the cup since the meter cant fit in the gallon jug ive never noticed. whic ph should i follow? i usually go by what the cup says.
