Run off water is the water that comes out the bottom of the pot when you water your plant (Soil Growers).Ph Pen is the easiest way to test your ph but not the cheapest.

Test strips and a dropper test kit run aboout the same price and the liquid kit will last a lot longer. U just take a sample in the vial and drop in the liquid. Only disadvantage is it's not as accurate as the pen. It only gives u even numbers like 5.0, 6.0 so if u want something like 5.8 u gotta settle for 6.

I hear 5.8 and 6.8 a lot so I just shoot for 6 with my test kit. Seems great so far
