Ultimate Guide to pH Meters and Nutrient Management for Indoor Gardens
Understanding pH and Its Importance
pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is, ranging from 0 to 14. Most plants thrive in a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5, as this range allows for optimal nutrient absorption.
Choosing the Right pH Meter
When selecting a pH meter, consider these factors:
- Accuracy requirements for your growing setup
- Budget constraints
- Frequency of use
- Maintenance requirements

To ensure accurate readings and longevity of your pH meter:
- Clean the probe after each use with distilled water
- Store with electrode storage solution
- Calibrate regularly using fresh calibration solutions
- Replace probes according to manufacturer recommendations
