Let it sit for a while to settle. You probably have a lot of fine particulate matter in there. Let it sit on the counter for an hour or so and I'll be it is clear, and you can test it.
And there;s he coffee filter method too.
(Is there an echo in here? Or am I having deja vu?)
Just out of curiosity, what are you using for soil?
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . runoff color??? I have read Stinky's tutorial on checking ph using runoff. I certainly have had my share of ph problems this time. When I discovered my tap was over 8, I flushed 4 gal with clearex ph adjusted followed by a 1/4 strength feed. But runoff is still dark..too dark to use the liquid ph tester with. So does this mean I need to flush until the runoff is more clear? Much thanks to any one who can help. Rating: 5
