my plants have been suffering major leaf burn so i went out and bought a PH soil probe.. It showed up that my soil was to alkaline, i couldnt understand this so i went out and bought another PH tester kit that you add 1 drop to your run off this showed up that my soil was to acidic, I'm gonna go with the acidic results, Hope to see a change in a week or two, just be wary of soil testers from "Mc Gregors" save your money and possibly your grow  | ||

 | Beware of any. Ive yet to see any that are accurate. Dont think Im spending 500 dollars for a decent one either. Pill bottle, soil sample, distilled water works much better imo. | ||

| I agree; soil probe pH meters are notoriously inaccurate. Quote:
