Hi all. Being quite new to co2 just wondering how you all measure it ?
I know that as hobbyists we can’t measure ph accurately so this is how I’ve been doing it , can someone out there please tell me if I’m in the ball park?
So I’ve taken ph readings from the off gas state so now I have a base line reading let’s say 7.8 I’ve set my co2 so that lights come on with a 1ph drop to 6.8 and switch off at 6.6 to compensate the photo period which is 3hrs morning and 4hrs evening. I’m not having any issues just wanted to know peoples thoughts on the subject not being from any scientific background I do find the subject confusing and fascinating.
Also how anal are the community about readings I find myself being supper critical to the point on the digi pen and I’m really thinking I’m being a bit finicky.
Thanks
Matt
