Benfits Of Testing With The Bluelab pH Pen
If you have grown before, you understand how fickle plants can be sometimes. They'll only thrive under very specific conditions. One of the most important aspects of your grow you need to monitor is the pH and temperature of the nutrients you feed them. If these are out of whack, it will lead to issues with uptake.
Plants can only take up nutrients when pH is in a specific range between 5.5-6.5. Any lower or higher, and certain nutrients get locked out, presenting the possibility for deficiencies. A good way to look at it is the nutrients you feed your plant are a lock, and proper pH is the key!
The Bluelab pH Pen also measures the temperature of your solution, ensuring you don't feed a solution that is too hot or cold. This can also affect nutrient uptake, but also can contribute to issues such as mold or mildew in the root zone. When paired with the Bluelab ppm / EC Pen , you'll have access to all the metrics you need for ensuring your plants are thriving, and reach their full potential!

Bluelab pH Pen Questions & Answers
I am unable to successfully calibrate my pH pen
Possible Reasons:
Buffers inaccurate
Glassware not clean
Glassware aged (glassware will not clean)
Probe not hydrated
Possible Solutions:
Replace buffers
Clean glassware
Replace unit
Soak probe in water for 24 hours and retest
What if my pH Pen or pH Probe has accidentally dried out?
The pH pen or probe must be 'hydrated' for 24 hours. Place the pH probe or pH pen upright in a small plastic container. Add enough KCl storage solution into the container to cover the pH probe tip. Leave the pH pen or pH probe to soak in the KCl solution for at least 24 hours.
Carry out a calibration to check if the pH pen or pH probe has already suffered permanent damage.
What is KCl storage solution?
KCl storage solution is generally a mixture of Potassium Chloride (KCl) and water. Some brands may contain small amounts of other ingredients.

Good pen, not waterproof
I am on my second pen because the first stopped working properly after a few weeks. The second started acting up as well. I believe the unit is not meant to get wet except the very tip. When water gets into the seam at the top of the unit, it causes a problem. Not a bad pen but I wish it was waterproof.
