not so proud of my nutrient skills

so this is my 4th grow (2nd hydro) and I've had some marginal success, however, i sometimes feel like i'm lost when its nutrient time. I'm using the Techniflora kit with the receipe for success. My real question is this...how should I be testing my ph....i just got a good ph tester, and i'm just not sure if i should be testing the water in the table or testing my nutrient mix or what?? I guess I'm not too proud to ask for a little help, and hopefully that will go a LONG way to making my product better. Thanks! till-u

Test it and adjust in your nutient tank. Once you get it adjusted right, test it again about 1 hour later. I check mine every day.

thanks tons.....have been growning and having moderate yeilds but have since discovered that i've been all wrong in how i'm doing it....stopped being cheap and bought a good ph tester and now its game time....pics to follow soon. Going to my secret grow shack tomorrow to change res water and nutes, so i'll try to post 'em and get everyone's advice asap. i'm using 2 4'x4' prefabricated grow tents with 3'x3' hydro tables.....flushing 2 times a day for 15 minutes.....have a bubble curtain on 24/7 in the bottom of res. to keep the air in the water 400mh VEG 600hps FLOWER. thinks thats about it....any help towards a bigger and more powerful yeild is always welcome.
