Ok so I have been all around today trying to find a pH tester that reads under 6.0, I seen one on petco.com but of course they don't carry in the stores same with petsmart.

I'm getting some high readings but I'm using a pH tester that is for a in ground pool (would that make a difference?)

If someone who knows where I could find one in a store or something else that would help. Please do

I'm only 3 days into veg. plants look very healthy, but I know I need a good pH level in order to get the best of the best.... If I were to order this today being christmas in 2 days. Chance I will get it soon Slim to None
So what are my options just wait it out till I get the tester and pray that my ladies make it ?

i like the vial and drops my self, bought the best tester on the market...$500, and it was reading wrong, brought it back got another brand new one and the same fukn thing, I went back to my fail safe testing,,, petco aquarium tester, tests from like 5.8 to 7.6 i think?? just what I need for soil growing, they also sell a lower one from 4.0 to 6.6 or sumthing like that. only 6-8 buks works for a couple hundred tests.

Yea I decided to go to petco, picked up a aquarium tester reads 6.0 to 9.0
Worked just fine I was able to bring my pH down to around 6.0 - 6.5

nice!! try to keep aim for about 6.5-6.6 in soil. This is where all nutes macro and micro are absorbed, 6.0 you will find lock out in a few nutes same with 7.0, good luck man!!
