How to use
Calibrate your pH pen once a week, following the pen's own instructions, using the buffer or buffers it asks for. A pen that has drifted gives wrong readings for every feed you mix.
Questions
Do I need pH 4, pH 7 or both?
That depends on the pen: some calibrate at one point, some at two. Check the pen's instructions and buy the buffers it asks for.
How often should I calibrate a pH pen?
Weekly. All measuring equipment should be calibrated every week to keep nutrient solution readings accurate.
