Just wanted to ask a few questions so people wait for the flashing ph led before calibrating again or just every few months also I've been leaving the probes in the nutrient solution and cleaning them only when it looks like I need to clean my reservoir I used 3% hydrogen peroxide to clean the probes but I was thinking of getting a cheap monitor that sits in the reservoir constantly and just using the bluelab guardian when mixing so what do people store their probes in would de-ionised water be a good option and also what about adding mould inhibitors like you would with pc water cooling

Kcl storage solution
Calibrate weekly or bi weekly for accuracy. Can wait up to 30days to calibrate.
Clean probes with cleaning solution or dishsoap. Be GENTLE. A soft toothbrush gently on the probe. Don't touch it with your fingers.
Ive been a bluelab guy for years recently switched to Hanna and I'm prob never going back to bluelab.

You can make you own KCl solution too.

Ive had alot of diff meters. We used to use the guardians in the med grow I helped at, as well as the dual ph and ec multimeter or whatever they call it. There's alot of options out there some better than others. Apera makes some good products too.
The Hanna I just bought is the phep4. Just a simple pen style. Gets a reading in seconds.
