Hey folks, just thought I'd throw this out there as I've read some good stuff here on Ph that was a little too complicated for me.

The story is I bought a real cheap Ph meter and to ensure it wasn't crazy I got some Ph strips too. Well the meter is crazy and the Ph strips only go down to 6.2. I was looking for 6.

Anywho, 1 gallon of RO water + plus 1 tsp FF Grow Big nutes + 1 tsp white vinegar (4% acidity--it's on the label) gives me, according to the strips, a perfect 6.2. Any more acid and I'm off the available scale. Not perfect but 6.2 is better than 7.0. Right?

I've got a nitrogen issue I'm trying to fix.

BTW--and not a product endorsement in anyway--my nutes did not change the Ph at all.

Mods -- please do as you see fit with this post.

Hey mfsteve, Question did you get the calibration solution and calibrate the meter before using it?If you could post pixs it would us hepl you better. Peace

Toke -- I will post pics as soon as I see it happening again. 6.2, to my mind is too high (doh!). But yes, I will post pics once this plant has matured enough to show the issue.

Thanks Toke.

I really need a meter that works. Suggestions welcome and appreciated. I can grow weed but good weed is a problem. I can only grow 6 months out of the year because of the heat. One good crop would be great, two would be awesome.
