INTENSE Wide Load

The Bluelab EC Pen and Bluelab ppm Pen are the latest innovation for hand held conductivity meters and the ultimate handy solution for measuring conductivity. Hydroponic growing lets you give the best care possible to your plants. The quality of care is in your control. The Bluelab EC and ppm pens measure how much food the plant has available. You have the option of either the Bluelab EC Pen or the Bluelab ppm Pen. The Bluelab EC and ppm pens provide a compact, quick and handy way to manage the success of your crops to ensure they have the nutrients they need. Teamed with our Bluelab pH Pen, you have a handy, convenient and accurate system for ensuring optimum plant growth and health. The Bluelab pH Pen, Bluelab EC Pen and Bluelab ppm Pen range has been specially developed as an affordable and effective option for hobby or small scale growers.

Low or high pH levels affect the availability of the minerals required by the plant. The correct pH range for hydroponics is between 5.5 and 6.5, for soil it is not so critical, but generally around 6.3; outside of these figures nutrient problems will quickly occur as minerals become insoluble. The nutrient strength needs to be matched to the current stage of plant development. Too high a concentration can quickly burn a plant, whilst too low produces pale, weak growth. Measuring is knowing. Good results are attainable by anyone prepared to stick to this rule. Whimsical guesswork rarely leads to success! The Nutriculture pH Test Kit allows quick and accurate monitoring of pH levels in your nutrient solution. For accurate acidity testing follow the procedure below. •Take a 2ml sample of solution from the tank in the test tube provided. •Add 2 drops of reagent. •Shake the test tube and compare the colour against the test strip to determine the acidity. •Discard the test solution and rinse out the test tube. •Adjust the pH of your nutrients and retest if neccessary.
