It shouldn`t GF, what pen do you have tho... many differ in their calib. routine. Usually do the pH 7 first, then the 4 or the 10 whichever you have. But really need to know the manuf`s specific recommendations if possible. Otherwise, speaking of only the testing fluid brand names, they`re all fine. Just don`t contaminate, I don't reuse or contam new fluid with old. That pen`s accuracy is dead serious important and not worth entertaining any cut corners there. Hope this helped. Best to you and yours!

Ye man I know what ur saying
I dont re use any fluid. Erm I bought it on amazon it does ppm and ph dont know the brand al try find it and show you. Im sure i spoke to somebody on here before just cant remember who it was but theyve got the same as me. Do I have to use all 3 solutions separately or just use 1 everytime I calibrate which could be every month or 2?
Thats the 1 I bought.

Hey GF
You use each solution separately.
One at a time.
Use the instructions to calculate you pen.

Yeah this is where we need to know what the pen`s calib routine is. My bluelap pen I turn on already in 7 pH fluid, press calib and wait until it goes through its processing routine. When it indicates successful calib to 7 pH I rinse in clean water and place in 4 pH fluid, press calib and watch for successful process.
A routine using two fluids is much more accurate, however if you don't have any of the paperwork that came with and cannot find a reliable source for the routine of your specific pen online then, yeah, we need to hold off until someone who knows your pen or has more knowledge can help. Sorry I don`t have your answer for you, but it`ll come soon.

Thanks for your help guys I appreciate the input. I found a small.booklet in the box it came in I only have 9.18 solution left which was in the box. I used the others when I first got it which at the time i didnt really know what to use so I used 2 out of 3 sachets which it came with. The other bluelab stuff I have came with more and thats why I wondered if I could use those solutions on this pen. This 1 I have is just a cheapo china 1 by the looks of it I cant find any info on it. Only from amazon selling them. Definitely buying bluelab next time.

With this light, it looks like these plants could start bushing out, then you'd have a whole forest in the greenhouse!!

I should have a Forest by now.
It's mid July and they barley have any branches.
I'm so far behind.
Hopefully this will help.
It produces some heat too so I'm happy.

I'd give you about 10-20 degrees, if I could! x'D I don't want this 105-degree weather, with 56% humidity (when norm is barely 20-30%).
That'll warm em up Bill! Any thoughts on a heat sink for lights out? Hot things like HOT buckets of water or rocks etc? Too much work maybe?
