Hi
First post so hi to all. I have the liquid ph test kit and am a little confused by the 'readings' I am getting. I checked the solution last night with the ph tester and I would say it was reading about ph level 6. However, I left the solution in the test tube overnight and when checking it just now it has changed to quite an orange colour (ph of 5 or less). How is this possible? This ph test kit is about 5 years old (not been used since my last grow), does the kit have a life span. I will go get another kit asap but in the mean time can anyone explain why the ph level in the test tube would change so much overnight? Many thanks

the solution becomes saturated and changes colour after a few hours. You take the reading when fresh than empty and clean. Never leave shit in it, it can mess up your next reults. Get a new test kit there cheap.

Peace
