What is pH control in cannabis cultivation?
pH is a determining factor in the health of your plants. It directly affects the availability of nutrients in the substrate or irrigation solutions. Proper control ensures an ideal environment for root development and plant metabolism. This category includes everything you need to measure and adjust pH professionally and easily.
What products does this category include?
In this section, you will find a wide variety of specialized tools and liquids:
- Manual and digital pH meters: to check the acidity or alkalinity level of your water or substrate.
- Continuous or electrode meters: perfect for hydroponic crops or automatic irrigation systems.
- Calibration solutions: essential for keeping your meters in perfect condition and ensuring reliable measurements.
- pH regulators (Up and Down): specific liquids to raise or lower the pH of your irrigation water according to the needs of your plants.
Why is it so important to adjust the pH?
If the pH is outside the ideal range, the roots will not be able to properly absorb nutrients, even if they are present in the medium. This can lead to deficiencies, blockages, and imbalances. Regulating the pH prevents these problems and significantly improves the yield and final quality of the crop.
Who is this category intended for?
Whether you're just starting or have been growing for a while, this category is for you. Basic meters are ideal for those just learning, while more advanced equipment allows for more precise and consistent control, perfect for professional growers or those growing in hydroponic systems.

Frequently Asked Questions About pH Control for cannabis
What is the ideal pH for growing weed?
The optimal pH is between 5.5 and 6.5, depending on the medium (soil, coco, hydroponics). Staying within this range facilitates balanced nutrient absorption.
How often should pH be measured?
It's recommended to measure the pH every time you water your plant, especially if you use fertilizers. A change in the nutrient solution or water can alter its value.
What happens if the pH is out of range?
Plants can suffer from deficiencies or toxicities, even when nutrients are present. It's essential to correct this as soon as possible to avoid damage to the crop.
