Congratulations!  Buy yourself one of those pH indicator sets. Those that use a vial and coloring drops. Best from an aquarium shop. They're only a few bob.
The range should be from pH6 to pH8 |

| If you are going to grow successfully in hydro, careful knowledge and control of Ph and EC are critical. Ph indicator sets work fine but a meter is easier to use and quicker. To measure EC you will need a meter. |

| EC=electrical conductivity. It tells you how much mineral salt (nutrients) you have in nutrient solution. |

| if you follow a strick schedule of changing solution every 2 weeks then you can get by with the EC meter. Your results will still be great, just no phenomenal. |
