Hanna pH tester few questions

[DeaconFrost]

I bought a Hanna pH tester today, it was calibrated for 7 to 10 pH on the card that came with it, but I will have to re calibrate it to read 4 to 7.

so the solution they selling are a 7 pH solution and 4 pH solution, can I just use 7 pH and 4 pH water to calibrate them?

also it says to activate the electrode, use the storage solution and soak for 2 hours, it doesnt give any details about it, but in the manual it did say keep it moist with either the the storage solution or 7pH water, would soaking it in 7 pH water do the same? the local shop I got the meter from didnt have those solutions in stock.

thanks

thanks for the info, I soaked it last night in 7pH water, and its working bang on today
the first 2 week of veg werent going too well but since I sorted out the pH with the tester, it took off nicely, one of the girl been topped 10 times, the 2nd girl been topped 6 times I use a screen to pull the plants across so I get a lot more canopys to tops one more week I put them in to flower with bud blood, coco and molasses

thanks

Thanks for sharing the info with us all. Are there any pics of the topped 10 times plants?

I wasn't planning to post pics till they are near harvest

I posted a couple of grow, getting used to the whole growing thing now and calm down on posting pics and grow log

I post some pics when all the canopys are formed nicely if you want

by the way, the plant has been topped from different branches adds up to 10 topping on the one plant, not just the main cola.

We'd appreciate that and I understand and look forward to seeing some when you are ready.

as requested, here's a early pic of the girls, red arrows show where I have topped the girls, some are forming tops already, some are still small, but coming along a a good rate its hard to see the triple one that i topped, because the angle I took the pic, the other tops are kinda in the way.

little bit more details of the tops after 3 days.
