Ok wat the easyest and cost effective way to check the ph levels and does having a higher ph level cause the levels the curl under like eagle claws and small dark brown spots on the lower fan leaves
i agree with the meter i only said the strips cuz you can pick em up anywhere but sure definitly invest in a meter if your down with thathome depot or lowes sell a soil pH tester and like slaya said, you can get the test strips. honestly, just order a cheap pH meter from amazon. itll save you so much time. $20 max.. in hydro pH 5.4-6.2 is ideal, aim for the upper end 5.8... for soil, 6.5-7.5.. (7.0). hope that helps. i wouldnt say to buy a meter if i didnt think you needed one. if you stick with it, youll eventually need it. save yourself a lot of headache.
