In coco i always used to go for that "lite beer" color
That's weirdI used the drops for about 2 yrs and then all of a sudden, i guess my test solution "spoiled" or something, i checked my drops against an Apera meter and was almost 2 full pH off!!! And i was always very good about not refilling the dropper til empty, not leaving the refill open or sticking anything into it. I dunno.
Great point. "Dark" colored nutrients can be hard to test with drops. Like FOOP, forget about it, your water turns out black, lol!The first pics. I can’t tell any difference between them since I have trouble with shades of colors I have to use a good ph pen or I would be screwed lol.
Actually even dark nutes are fine with pH drops.Great point. "Dark" colored nutrients can be hard to test with drops. Like FOOP, forget about it, your water turns out black, lol!
Good to know since I’m using flora nova bloom from start to Finish. If my ph pen breaks I will have the wife test with drops. Sucks to be slight colored blind but my wife and kids sure get a kick out of it so I don’t mind as long as they get a laugh at my expenseActually even dark nutes are fine with pH drops.
Floranova looks like dark coffee in a bucket, barely perceptible in a test tube, same color after drops as any other nute
man the one to the right looks so familar. i stay on 5.5 24/7 that's what im used to seeing.Used metler toledo orion a111 ph meter to test and photo the color of commonly used ph ranges. General hydroponics ph test. Hope this helps some new people to hydroponics
My brother is colorblind and ever since we found out, we love to give him copious amount of shit over it. My favorite is the time I bought him a short that had a colorblind test on the front. Instead of a number, it said "colorblind people are stupid" I was completely blown away that he had absolutely zero idea what the shirt said.Good to know since I’m using flora nova bloom from start to Finish.

I dont think your test solution is bad. I found out that every time you take a PH test whether it be the small little tubes or a larger container that if you dont take paper towels and dry it out completely every time you will get false results.I used the drops for about 2 yrs and then all of a sudden, i guess my test solution "spoiled" or something, i checked my drops against an Apera meter and was almost 2 full pH off!!!

Makes sense, i was very adamant about doing that at first but admittedly over time, not so much. Only when the beaker was visibly dirty.I dont think your test solution is bad.

Get 3 or 4 small test tubes, you'll always have a dry one to use. That's what I do. I don't really use paper towel unless they get dirty. I think you'll find consistency if you use dry/clean tube that will match up with your ph meter readings.Makes sense, i was very adamant about doing that at first but admittedly over time, not so much.
