Well in soil you cshould use a proper ph tester. They are found at wall-mart, Home depot and any garden store. They will cost you less then 12.00 usd. It's a combo moisture/Ph soil meter.

You balance the water you use yes but the run off is one way to monitor the PPM and the used salts. Much the same way you can use a brix meter as way to check how your plant is doing on the nutrients you are feeding them.


You may want to pick up some CalMag Plus and use it with every watering too.
