You can get a ph pen. They are very accurate easy to use and cost about £30. and will last for years as they can be re calibrated.

Test strips always work in a pinch, but like hash says, you can get a good ph ed pen, but I would by one with a replaceable probe, as they won't last, they eventually dry out and become unusable.

You should get a cheap ph meter off Amazon. You can get decent ones under 50 bucks but I would stay away from the -10 meters. The test drops and strips I've yet to find anything real reliable.

Have i been treating photoperiods like autos? The guy said it said auto on pkg but the ads are different depending where. 11 weeks now.Have i been treating Photoperiods like autoflowers?

Is it sign of pre-flower? Should I add Bud Ignitor?Hello, is it what I'm thinking about?:P
Should I start adding nutrients from 1st bloom week chart?
If yes - full dose from begging or partially increase the dose?
2 will be added: Voodoo Juice will come back for 2 weeks and Bud Ignitor.

This run was planted in 1 Gallon Fabric Pots - They are doing very well at the moment, I thought I may want to move them into bigger pots, I feel like they would stall a bit, focusing on root production, but wasn't sure if it would create any permanent negative harm to plants.Week 6
