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.

How do I lower pH using pH Down?
My soil pH levels are high - just over 7. My tap water is also high - over 7. I have a bottle of pH Down but I've never used it. Do I just add a bit to the tap water and water them? Or should I wait till the next time I'm adding nutrients? How much should I add? Thanks!

What do you recommend for watering plants manually?
I’ve heard that a spray bottle is best for saplings but as plants get bigger and need gallons at a time, what do you guys use? Are watering cans the best option or are there better methods for a small grow tent?

Nematodes in combination with fertilizer
I ordered nematodes (SF) today, and i read something in an article about how they can't handle nitrogen. Should i worry about their effectiveness(if there is any at all) as i want to start feeding around the same time as using the nematodes?

problem with Advanced Nutrient GroMicroBloom ! I took a photo, I hope you can see small particles from fertilizers in the water!!
I have a problem with fertilizers!! why are some particles floating in the water on a new three-day solution similar to those that have settled on the walls of the pot! that is why some kind of sediment and brown flakes and small particles that float appear on the new solution!

4 days without water
I had to leave for 4 days this past week. Gave both plants H2O before leaving but I came back and one of my plants has some ugly yellow and brown leaves. Do I need to do anything to correct this or just get back to my routine feedings?
