Yes getting a ph meter is very helpful. I would recommend staying away from the really cheap ones. You get what you pay for rings true.

Could it be beneficial to add CO2 into the water supply just a theory I had and wondering if anyone else has had the same idea and tested it.
Hi I've got a bit of a theoretical question that I'm wondering if it would be benifical if i used a CO2 canister likes used in the soda machines to carbonate water and used to it to inject CO2 into water supply to give it extra CO2. Would it be a bad idea or it could be good?

EC going up daily during the day - Hydro recirculating system
Would anyone have an idea why the ec in my tank goes up every day of the plant, like 7 or 8 hours after the lights are on ? Evaporation ? The plants eat more at this time of the day ? Overfeeding ? Got a small 20L tank and a tight space. Thx !

Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.
So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itself

Ph and ec in batmix??
Most of the people here telling me that i should regulate ph and ec when growing in soil (batmix) But on plagron website: Should I adjust the pH and EC values if I grow with Batmix? No, combined with our 100% NATURAL Grow Style you don't have to regulate the pH and EC value

wet/dry cycle from RQS
RQS suggested this wet/dry for Auto.that's okay?for irrigation, when he said 1.5 liters for each day, that means I have to water the plants every day? or is it better to have 4.5 water once every 3 days?And that the amount of irrigation he suggested for 11L pot is not too much?

Feeding with dense roots?
So I'm using 5 and 7 gallon pots and I'm using Gaia greens and some worm poo for my feed but once they start to take off into flower, all of my dry amendments build up on top bc of the roots. I want to stay organic but how can I feed these girls once the roots block up the pot?

Calculating Proper Runoff Numbers
Before I watered plants today the Ph was 6.0 and 1,000 ppm. I added nutrient solution of 6.2 and 1,000 ppm to each plant until runoff. Runoffs were 1,300 to 1,700 range. Ph was 5.9. Is this in the ballpark. If I add 1,000 ppm to existing 1,000 ppm and get less is that right?
