    How are you masuring your pH??

    I was consistently low for a while using my pH probe on my ACjr. I bought some calibration solution... and presto... my pH was right on target.

    Advice... make sure you calibrate first.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    A pH of 8.6 at the end of a photoperiod is a very good pH.

    What time are you measuring it and are you testing at the same time of day each day ?

    And yes can you should double check the value some how, or recalibrate the probe if that is what you are using.
