Hi guys thanks for the advice, my pH and ppm meters arrived today, the plants run off has a pH of 6.4and ppm of between 500-700(not much run off) but the pH of my watering can (with some BioBizz Grow) is 7.3, the ppm level of the watering can is 440, please help me understand?TX

And don't forget to calibrate your pH meter every time before mixing a new watering! You have to understand that this device can lie every time, and you need to control the accuracy of its readings..... for example.... choose a "calibration solution" or prepare it from the packets of powder that come with the pH meter. Calibrate your device with the solutions and compare it with tap water...... as soon as the values stabilize in the tap water - remember them! Now tap water is one of your "calibration solutions," you can calibrate with tap water every time and with some common substances that everyone has at home, for example: - shampoo or black tea 5.5 pH - seawater 8 pH - bleach (chlorine-based) 12.5 pH - beer 4.5 pH - coca-cola 2.5 pH A small screwdriver comes with the pH meter, which you need to use to adjust the device by turning the calibration screw located on the opposite side of the screen. 😇👌 Place the powered-on device in the calibration solution, wait for the readings to stabilize, and turn the screw to the values that the calibration liquid should be around. After that, rinse your device in clean water and place it in another calibration solution, wait again and turn..... I do a full calibration on 3-4 bases once a month. But I calibrate the device daily on one base - well water with 8.3 pH 😇👌 Good luck, friend! 😇✊

Hello Soil has natural buffering capacity so that may be why the runoff water is coming out in the right range of 6.4 this is a good thing as it tells what the root zone ph is. Keep monitoring the runoff water because if it gets a higher ph you'll want to adjust the ingoing water to a lower ph than 7.3 if you don't have the drops you can use lemon juice to lower the ph, or sulfur/lime products too. Just try to keep the ph above 6.2 but below 7 at the root zone, 6.5 seems to be a good zone to aim for. For your ppm you want it somewhere between 400-800 ppm for water with nutrients. I don't know if all your numbers are pretty good because of the recent transplant... or if you're just lucky and doing all the right things...but either way keep it up and keep checking periodically for changes. Happy growing

Отлично, бро! С этими приборами дело пойдёт в нормальном русле! 😇👌 Старайся не превышать 500ppm в почве.... правильный цикл полива - 1 раз удобрениями - 2 раза водой..... всегда соблюдай верный ph раствора! Кислотность раствора характеризует кислотность почвы! ph для твоей стадии развития - 6,2-6,3 в почве! Не закармливай растение, старайся давать половину дозы, которую рекомендует производитель твоих удобрений! Всегда следи за выходом ppm и ph раствора при поливе. Снимай конечные значения с вышедшей жидкости из дренажа! Корням в почве необходим минимальный пролив при каждом поливе, чтоб свежий кислород прошел вслед за водой к корням! 😇👌 Твой выход дренажа 500-700 ppm слегка завышен для этой стадии.....старайся удерживать засоленность почвы 300-500ppm для стадии саженца - начала вегетации (для сативы) и 300-600ppm (для индики). 😇👌 Помни, брат, что недокармливание растения всегда легче исправить, чем передозировку растения! 😇👆 Удачи, друг! 😇✊
