Just got this 30 dollar ph pen. I fig it would be ok for now. Better until i find a good one than ph strips for reading gh flora nutes! (their colred) Anyway it is a hanna and i managed to calibrate it after a while with the 7.01 soltion and i dint trust it. It is a sketchy read and according to this pen I have been nuking my plants at 7 ph and after adding generous ph down i am still at 6.8. Lol, my plants have got some ph probs and they are in rw but wow i dont see how it can be that bad, they are gorwing and look ok.:clap:
I got some iron lockout i think in a few and maybeand i an not sure slower growth. But this pen is ridiculous i hope. If not ow, but maybe i an going to fuckl it up a lot more by adding ph down in sucjh a large quantity, any advice?

I checked with strips and i got acid below the charts. I checked with pen i got 6.8 after adding a tablespoon of ph down to 11 gallons of water. I have been watering it looks like according to the pen with 7 phd nutes? Shit, and they are alive? Doing ok, sorta, they look shitty and outa 12 plants 2 have mutated leaves and all got a little yellow on the leaves. They gorwing though. Damn, i am retarded. Hell it makes no sense according to everything i have read and my last grow. That was dwc in hydroton though and this is rw in ebb and flo.
