Personally I've never tested the PH of my soil? :wtf: Just now tested runoff for the first time I'm reading 5.9-6.1 inbound after adding nutes, (if added, this last was just PH'd water 6.2) Runoff is 6.9-7.1. My girls are happy as clams!


Color testing AFTER nutes or on the Runoff will be skewed due to dies in the nutes, and the natural coloration of the soil that will be pulled into the runoff. So no, I don't know of a good kit that you can get (other than electronic pens) sorry bro.

When I was using the drops,... I'd PH the water to 6.5 before adding nutes, and everything worked out fine. Turns out once testing this with the pen that the nutes dropped PH to 6.0which was perfect for the blend I was using! (Technifora "Recipe for Success" as per the chart(tested once with the drops,... said 4.0-! )) *your mileage may vary*

Hopefully the activity on the thread will draw in an actual Guru who will put me in line and give you better answers, I'm hacking away at this as I grow,... er go! and posting mainly observations from my own grows and 2nd hand info from things I've read on this forum and others.
