help reading PH of nute water

[GROWxMOREx420]

im using botanicare pure blend pro grow, bloom, and liquid karma.
the nutes themselves are very dark brown in color and of course diluted to a lighter shade when mixed with water. i only used 1/4 of the manufacturers recommended dose.(only fed them once and still burned them a little)


ill have to scrape together whatever i can to get the meter:jointsmile:

Those are great nutes to use, but it sounds like you are mixing them too high in small water ratios.

When you mix your nutrient solution, don't try and use 1/4 of the recommended nutrient solution per 1 gallon of water, you do it the other way around. If the label says 1 teaspoon of nutes per 1 gallon, mix 1 teaspoon of nutes into 4 gallons of water to help it dilute properly, then water with that solution every other watering.

Thanks to anyone that can help me:jointsmile: Rating: 5
