Ph Testing In Ag

Ok this is freakin so titius, first off i have a tester that i got frm local hydro store dude said its the easiest to use but shit ive been using a dropper and one drop shoots it one way another drop shoots it the other way,do those digital readers work good because for 5.0 its orange and 6.0 is yellow yo ive been tryin to get wha i think is righ sorta looks like a urine color dark yellow which i would think would fall in there should i just shead out some money to get a digital reader thank you and where else store wise can i find these at i dont want to order onine considerin i got aerogardens and seeds from online i dont wanna order anythin else sent to the house not like it matters the house is in a 97 year old womans name and she smokes lol..

there not going to look into someone ordering a ph tester

i messed with the ph alot also!! i now just use 1 gal. distilled water and my nutes to spec. change my water every sat morning and never even check ph anymore!! might not be the right way to do it however my plants are thriving!!

I use the Milwaukee. It's cheap and accurate.

I have a hannah Ph tester. It was only $20 or so. I used it for about 6 months worked good I thought. Then I bought a blue lab combo. My plants have thrived alot more since I started using blue lab combo meter. Don't scrimp on your PH meter. If you are planning on getting serious in hydro grows then you need a good qaulity PH tester. It is worth every penny and will pay itself back many times over.

Same here. I buy the 4Litre distilled water containers from my local grocery store. I've not checked my PH balance in my AG Since I started my grow (March 9th) and my plants are kicking arse!

Here are my AG plants, planted March 9th

use distilled water and don't worry as much about PH levels.
