Okey dokey, trust me not to delve a little deeper into their site. I believe the advice you are getting about your pH issues is sound. I always aim for a soil pH of 6.2 (I use Plagron light mix and Bio-Bizz nutes) at the moment I'm having problems in the BAM Slam with my Wilma as my pH has dropped to 5.9. I'm not sure what to make of a supplier that believes 5.8 is optimal in soil!

Nice thanks, i think my error was thinking the checker hanna could be used in soil idk, ive heard great things about hanna but this ph meter needs so much calibrating constantly i spend more in ph buffer to calibrate it, i would rather buy something better

If anyone is looking for a good pH meter with a probe can I recommend this?

I have been using this for 2 years, it is extremely accurate and does not need calibrating endlessly (I calibrate before the start of a grow) and is good for soil testing and fluids, the only downside is the glass probe is a little delicate (I have broken one!) but, there are replacement probes available.

Week 8 (3) - day 50
Have been uping the ph of my nutrient solution untill it got to ph7. I have done this to try to increase the soil ph which had dropped to 5.3. This is due to me feeding at the wrong ph to start with. It has taken a couple of waterings with no change. However today when i measured the run off I calculated the soil ph to be 5.8. Still low but at least it has started to rise. I will continue feeding at ph 7 untill I get the soil ph up to about 6.5.
Some of the tips which have looked pale look like they might be going burnt so i fed todays watering at half strength.
The plant is now 101cm tall....... Looks like changing to bloom nutes early did nothing to slow growth.
As always any advice is appreciated.

is the ph solution the tea ph level or the soil or the run off ?
