Well santa came early this year and brought me a hanna 98127 meter..stooked needless to say! the ph of the distilled water im using is 6.4..will that change when i add nutes to it?
Too bad he didn't bring you a Hanna 98129 combo, but at least you can be on top of your pH... And to answer your question, any time you add diff nutes and supplements, your pH will change. It will also change depending on how strong the mix is... So you will need less base to raise the pH of a 500 PPM mix, than a mix at 1200 PPM... :thinking
congrats bro! santa is the shit!
You need Hanna calibration solutions to properly calibrate your meter. Google your model number and you will easily find the PDF manual if the instructions didn't come with the box. The model you have is supposed to only check pH and water temp. Are you sure it's the correct model number? My Hanna 98128 is a black combo meter. As for your pH question, you should always add acid or base after you've mixed all your other nutrients. BTW, acid is much stronger than base... I've never needed to add that much acid, but base is different... You will have to experiment to see how much you need of either...the box the meter came in says it does ph/ec/tds but i cant figure out how to check the ec/tds lol (first meter ive ever owned) ..can i add ph down to my mix after the nutes have been mixed in? also the ph down says to add 1 teaspoon per gallon to lower the ph 1 full increment.. so for example would that mean it would go from 6.4 to 6.3 or 6.4 to 5.4? I know all these questions are pretty noobish but if i didnt ask id never know lol. :)
Use a eye dropper and count drops per gall.
A little goes a long way, in a minute you will get the hang of it!
