I purchased the soil ph meter at a home goods store in the home garden section for just under 15 american dollars. It seems to work ok, not as acurate or as good as the digital ones but nontheless it works. The ph water tester was purchased for 5 american dollars tests up to 250 times. I purchased it at the local pet store near the aquarium accessories. Again there are some really nice digital ones and expensive kits that can tell you more than just the ph but this works just fine and is cheap. Also better then the strips in my opinion. Anyway good luck with your grow. And these items seems to work just fine for testing your phs and all under 20 bucks.

Ha is that true?? hahahaha

i just grew my plants and this is my fisrt time growing.... im growing them in my bathroom everything is right but one of my plants is not growing right why is that?

Maybe, it just prefers the left.


More information would greatly help people determine the cause of your angst.

Im growing with Emily's Garden Hydroponic system. Its a wick hydro system that holds 6 plants in only a 2 gallon resevoir. Im growing 3 skunk #1 seeds from nirvana shop and only want them 3.6-4ft after flowering(i know veg until they are 1 ft). How often am i going to haveto refill the resevoir from veg1in - veg6in - veg 13in - flowering 2.5-4.0 feet? And one final thing i dont understand is this wick system - the plants are actually floating in a 1 gallon resevoir filled with medium in the nutrients and water... the pump jump pumpes them through to the roots.... what happens when the roots get to the bottom of the container and are sitting directly in the nutreint and water?

anyone got any answers ? ;/

haha. well im not gonna be eating rice from chinese places anymore.

my clones are 6 inches tall and starting to bud. I've kept them under light for 24/7 for at least amonth. they are shrubbing good but are they gonna produce, or am I wasting my electric???

a 6 inch plant starting to bud under 24/7 light.... sumthing aint right there

I watre my full grown plants maybe once a week in 3 gallon pots which are not massive by anymeans 3 gallon pots are quite small 30 gallon pots are big.People use digital ph pens as they are more accurate and cheaper then paper test or liquid test kits. You can get a good sunleaves or hana new on ebay for about $28 bucks shipped...That 2 gallon res dictate has is way to small for 6 plants.A 6 plant setup for gamja should be no less then a 20 gallon res.You got a grow setup for dill and parsley my friend..Where did you find a 1500 watt mh light from never seen one ever?? and yeah 6 inch plants under 1500 watt lights can be a little issue if they are from seeds
