Essentials Lab PH Buffer 4

The pH of your nutrient solution greatly affects the availability of nutrients within that solution. pH which is too high or too low can cause deficiencies in essential nutrients that plants need to grow. It can also negatively affect beneficial bacteria in your system or substrate.

The performance of a pH electrode or pH meter will change with time due to aging because as the electrode is used its coating degrades, to ensure it is working correctly, regular calibration is a must. If you are using your pH meter daily, you should calibrate it at least once a week.

To calibrate, use either Essentials Lab PH Buffer 4 or Essentials Lab PH Buffer 7. Using both of these buffer solutions will make your calibration more accurate.

The temperature of your solution will also affect the pH value.

Available in 250ml and 1L bottles.
