Bluelab-pH-Pen.1.jpg

Bluelab pH Pen

Plants get their nutrient from minerals but they can only get all the right minerals they need if certain conditions are right. Think of nutrients like a lock. pH is the key. A key factor that affects food uptake is whether your solution is acid or alkaline. We measure this in pH.

The Bluelab pH Pen also measures the temperature of the solution, as root health is vital to the success of a crop. Temperature affects the growth rate and structure of a plant so a solution temperature of 18 - 22ËšC or 65 - 72ËšF is recommended.

The hand held pH pen provides a compact quick and handy way to manage the success of your crop to ensure maximum uptake of nutrients.

Bluelab Soil pH Pen

Soil-pH-Pen.1.jpg

The Bluelab Soil pH Pen provides a pH and temperature reading of soils and media, so you know that the right nutrients will be made available to your plants.
 
In soils or growing media, pH strongly influences the availability of the microorganisms to plants in the soil. Now you can closely monitor and adjust the pH levels to optimize plant health and performance.
 
It will also measure solutions too…

Bluelab Truncheon Nutrient Meter

Truncheon-Meter.1.jpg

It is essential when growing with a hydroponic solution to KNOW what the strength of the solution is before feeding your plants AND while they are growing. If the conductivity reading is too low, your plants may not be getting enough nutrients. If the conductivity reading is too high, plants can dehydrate.

Understanding the conductivity of the nutrient solution takes the guesswork out of feeding plants. It will also save you money! Using the Bluelab Truncheon® Nutrient Meter is the fastest and easiest way to measure the conductivity!

To take a reading of your solution - simply place the probe head into the solution and the reading is indicated by the flashing lights. Calibration of the Truncheon® Nutrient Meter is not required.

​

  • Fully waterproof

  • Auto on/off function

  • No calibration required

  • Daylight readable blue LED’s

  • Battery operated – 3 x AA batteries included

  • No buttons, switches or knobs

  • Provided with EC, CF, ppm 700 and ppm 500 scales
