I'm sure other growers would like to hear how well the brown stuff works. Maybe you could let us know? Also, I'd love to know the name of it, etc. Thanks!
i sure will trying to grow something in house distilled water sink water my fertilizer see what happens if we all use natural fertilizer to grow might help save us @@aero-gro
Hi Rodney - Yes, the meter can measure pH, which is critical in the preparation of fertilizer. You want the fertilizer to be balanced AFTER adding the nutrients. Most nutrients tend to be acidic, so the pH will drop. Your meter will tell you how far off of the target pH you are so that you can make adjustments using pH UP or pH DOWN solution. As far as measuring concentration, you will need to simply follow the instructions on the bottle that explains how much to add. The meter (when used in TDS mode) can measure the concentration of nutrients in water, but only if the nutrients are salt-based. It sounds like your nutrients may be organic, which is why you would simply follow the instructions from the manufacturer. Hope that helps!
This meter is for measuring on the 500 ppm scale - which is meant for salts and solids in water. The 700 ppm scale is specifically for measuring Potassium Chloride.
The meter will stabilize within a few points usually after about 5-10 seconds. The rate of stabilization really depends on how far the pH swing is when the meter is submerged. It takes longer for the meter to "hone-in" on the reading when the pH is either unusually high or unusually low. Hopefully that makes sense. If not, just give me a call: 610.657.8800
You need to buy what'a called "1413 Calibration Standard" from the your favorite online retailer (sorry, I don't sell it). Step 1: Pour some 1413 in a clean jar,. Step 2: Place your meter in EC mode (display will show μS/cm). Step 3: Dip the meter into the 1413 solution, then press AND HOLD the "CAL" button for at least 5 seconds, then release. Step 4: While keeping the probe in the solution, use the up and down arrows on the meter keypad to adjust the displayed number until it reads "1413." Wait for it to stop blinking. You're done!
5 stars! Perfect for mine. Thanks
I like it! The explanation is clear.
I was wondering how to use this type of PH Tester clearly Explained 👍
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to cover in an upcoming video. Thanks for the comment!
You explained it perfectly thankyou so much
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for getting back cost is alittle more then others old saying get what you pay for lol will be here soon

Would this device be good for telling pH of hot sauce?
hi there just bought your meter im making liquid fertilizer you think will help me fertilizer is dark brown

Is the meter need to be calibrated before using pH meter?
TDS is measured based on ppm500 or ppm700 scale?
This meter is for measuring on the 500 ppm scale - which is meant for salts and solids in water. The 700 ppm scale is specifically for measuring Potassium Chloride.
So the true reading is only when it’s in the water for 5 seconds if it keeps dropping the longer you hold it in the water is the wrong reading ?

I don't know. How to calibrate for tds ??
