Did you use distilled water or tap water?Ok I made a ph4.0 solution to let it sit in
tested it just for fun. Meter jumped to 4.5 and then settled to 3.5.
Soak in in the ph solution for 24 hrs then try it again. It may be faulty but its nothing you did. It probably sat dry for a long time before shipping. Send it back if ya can.Distilled water.
maybe it’s not even a vivosun ph pen. It’s an even lesser brand name. No name and no screw on it.
No such thing as a magical bottle. It is however a good ph down. Once you get some number on ph swing we can adjust the alkalinity of the water if needed but I doubt it.Will do that tomorrow after it’s soak. Thank you very much.
I just added 5ml of the good ph down. The 0/55/0 stuff. I think that may of been a tad much now. Hard to tell with the strips. I’ll have a more accurate number tomorrow.
So you’re telling me that with these 14 bottles of nutrients that I got that this ph down is the magical one that will really make allllllll the difference?

Thats a recipe for disaster bro....Cal mag

And basically all of those work like shit if it wasn’t for a few drops of the ph down eh. The real superstar here.
Think of it like learning to juggle. You wanna start with 15 balls? go right ahead. You can 100% do it ...but your almost guaranteed it's going to take a lot longer and be way more frustrating than starting with 3.Cal mag

Would you have concerns about it being in an acidic solution in a plastic solo cup?Soak in in the ph solution for 24 hrs then try it again. It may be faulty but its nothing you did. It probably sat dry for a long time before shipping. Send it back if ya can.
Nope not nearly acidic enough to eat the cup.Would you have concerns about it being in an acidic solution in a plastic solo cup?
4.01 isn’t? Any idea what that threshold is for non HDPE? (And in doing some reading it may be because of plastic‘s molecular composition and structure. Working with lye solutions for soap making, plastic cups that aren’t HDPE are an issue.)Nope not nearly acidic enough to eat the cup.
Isn't lye caustic? Like high ph?4.01 isn’t? Any idea what that threshold is for non HDPE? (And in doing some reading it may be because of plastic‘s molecular composition and structure. Working with lye solutions for soap making, plastic cups that aren’t HDPE are an issue.)

yes, a lye solution is 14 pH. as basic as it gets.Isn't lye caustic? Like high ph?
4 is about as acidic as juice.
Yup sad but hanging in there. Not a bad signPlants today
