It can be a bit more complicated when growing organically or in soil.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are several ways to check the pH of the nutrient solution in your hydroponic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe easy way to check pH is to use the digital meters. The most popular type of pH meter for the hobby gardener is the digital pen.\u003cbr\u003e\nYou simply dip the electrode into the nutrient solution for a few moments and the pH value is displayed on an LCD screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH meters are very accurate (when properly calibrated) and fast. They need to cared for properly however, or they will quit working.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe glass bulb electrode must be kept clean and some are required to be wet at all times. The pH meters are actually very sensitive\u003cbr\u003e\nvolt meters and are susceptible to problems with the electrode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the pH meters on the market have Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), which corrects the reading with respect to temperature.\u003cbr\u003e\nOn meters without ATC the pH should be checked at the same time of day each time in order to minimize any temperature related fluctuations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pH meters usually need to be calibrated frequently, as the meters can drift and to insure accuracy you must check calibration often.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith most pens, the tip needs to be stored in an electrode storage solution or in a buffer solution and should never be allowed to dry out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eSupplier source: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/erithhorticulture.com\/product\/ph-down-grow-500ml\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/erithhorticulture.com\/product\/ph-down-grow-500ml\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erith Horticulture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53667335307530,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/9157\/3002\/files\/ph-down-grow.png?v=1788998248","url":"https:\/\/maxgrow.uk\/products\/ph-down-grow-500ml","provider":"MaxGrow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
