PH & EC

Trusted products to measure and adjust your pH and EC for quality grown plants.

pH is expressed on a scale from 0 to 14, where 0 - 7 is the acid range and 7-14 is the basic range. A pH of 7 is considered to be neutral. From a scientific point of view, pH is a measure of the amount of hydrogen ions that are present in a solution.

Why is it important to adjust the pH of your nutrient solution?

The pH of your nutrient solution is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity. It is important to maintain the pH of your nutrient solution within the optimal range for your plants, as this will ensure that they are able to absorb the nutrients they need to thrive.

Most plants prefer a slightly acidic nutrient solution, with a pH between 5.8 and 6.2. However, some plants may prefer a slightly different pH, so it is important to research the specific needs of your plants.

If the pH of your nutrient solution is too high or too low, your plants may not be able to absorb the nutrients they need, even if the nutrients are present in the solution. This can lead to nutrient deficiencies, which can stunt plant growth and reduce yields.

By using a trusted brand to alter the pH of your nutrient solution, you can ensure that your plants are receiving the nutrients they need to thrive.

Which one to use, pH Plus or pH Minus?

The pH of your nutrient solution can be affected by a number of factors, including the water source, the type of fertiliser you are using, and the stage of growth of your plants. It is important to test the pH of your nutrient solution regularly and adjust the pH as needed.

If you are using a pH meter, you can simply test the pH of your nutrient solution and then add pH Plus or pH Minus as needed to reach the desired pH.

If you do not have a pH meter, you can use a pH test kit. These kits typically come with a pH indicator solution and a colour chart. To use a pH test kit, simply add a few drops of the indicator solution to your nutrient solution and compare the colour of the solution to the colour chart. The colour of the solution will indicate the pH of your nutrient solution.

Once you know the pH of your nutrient solution, you can then add pH Plus or pH Minus as needed to reach the desired pH.

By monitoring and adjusting the pH of your nutrient solution, you can help to ensure that your plants are receiving the nutrients they need to thrive.

Whether you want to adjust the ph or your nutrient solution or it's time for a new meter, products aimed at getting your ph level correct can be found here.
