BLUELAB PH GROUND PEN

The pH value of your soil or substrate is very important for the growth of your plants. You can easily determine this with the Bluelab pH Ground Pen.

Every plant species has its own optimum in terms of pH value. The acidity is influenced by the lime content in the soil. Sand and peat soils are generally more acidic (pH 4.5 to 5.6) than clay soils (pH higher than 6.7). The pH regulates the balance in the soil through chemical processes. If the pH value is too low, more trace elements, heavy metals and phosphate are present in the soil moisture. If the pH value is too high, i.e. if a lot of lime is present, a deficiency of manganese, iron, boron, zinc and copper can occur due to sequestration or fixation. For soil life to function properly, the pH value must be above 4.8.

In addition to the pH value, the Bluelab pH Soil Pen also measures the temperature of your growing medium, including soil, coconut and rock wool. The Pen is also suitable for use in solutions. Temperature is important for the growth rate and structure of a plant. In most cases, a temperature of 18-22 ˚C or 65-72 ˚F is ideal.
