PH/Nutrient Management

If you use hydroponics to grow your own fruit and vegetables then you’ll know how important it is to get the mix of the nutrients that you feed them just right.

Our Nutrient Meter is so quick and easy to use and will give you accurate results time after time. All readings are displayed on the meter – no need to consult books or manuals. Just dip into your solution and read.

The HM Digital COM-100 Water Quality Tester is a combination electrical conductivitiy meter, TDS meter, and temperature reader all in one! This waterproof device is ideal for a wide variety of applications including scientific testing, ecology testing, water treatment and hydroponics. 

This is a new analog soil moisture and pH meter. No battery is needed for its operation. Just firmly press the cone in the soil and after a few minutes you will get a reading of the soil moisture and the pH (acidity) level.

Growth Technology pH DOWN contains phosphoric acid (H3PO4).  The concentration is 81%, which is very strong so handle with care. Some other products on the market are considerably weaker so check the concentration before you buy. This is a very dense liquid and should feel much heavier than water.

Maintaining a correct pH is important in all forms of plant cultivation.
Nutrient solutions for soil and hydroponics should be maintained between 5.5 and 6.3.

Use the pH Test Kit for quick and easy measurement of Ph.
The solution should be checked regularly (daily) and adjusted using liquid silicon, pH UP or pH DOWN.

To maximize plant growth, the pH of your nutrients should be slightly acidic.
Experienced growers consider the ideal pH for most crops to fall between 5.5 and 6.5.

PH buffers are solutions of a known and fixed PH which are used to calibrate meters and should be done on a regular basis to ensure ongoing accuracy from the meter.

PH buffers are solutions of a known and fixed PH which are used to calibrate meters and should be done on a regular basis to ensure ongoing accuracy from the meter.

Calibration fluid is simply a liquid with a constant EC of 2.8 which is used to calibrate digital EC meters or nutrient measuring devices.

The Essentials pH meter is specially designed for testing the pH level of nutrient solutions. Just dip the sensor into test solution, stir and wait, then read a stable reading in about 20 seconds.
