125 GRAM tub?! Is this a tub for ants?!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
But seriously... when I first got a tub I used a LOT of test strips... you will go mad. I don’t even measure things now, a splash of this, a dash of that... slight burn of chlorine n the nostrils and off you go
I was guessing the volume of the tub. But thinking about our pool dose in TX, a couple teaspoons does make senseThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Once I get the first round done and get used to it a bit I'll be splashing and dashing the rest of the way.

Can you find the drop test kits? Much more reliable.
pH of 9 is pretty wild - Calgary tap water last I checked is running around 8.2
Sure you're not adding pH up rather than down?
I'll look into this, but I'm using my blue lab PH pen now so alot more accurate then a color lol.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I got 9 from the test strips but my meter said dif. Right out of the tap. It's been a bit high the last few months..This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

The acid did the trick! Dropped and levels are a hell of a lot better. When I googled my issue it seemed like a few people have ran into it, and then switched to acid and it solved it.
130g of ph down over 2 days, and it didn't move once. 3 teaspoons of the acid and down to 7.2 in an hour.

i have the same pen. You get it from incredigrow? How often do you calibrate it?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Hydro-lite in Edmonton. I usually calibrate every 2-3 months depending on how much I use it. Not sure how I feel about using it in the hot tub and then the hydroponics...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

OK maybe I should start a new thread, but I've seen advice here. I need some help with the doors on my house. Specifically the exterior doors. It is strange, it is almost like the trim or the door are 1/8th of an inch out. They've always been that way but now that I'm on week 3 of being at home, it is really getting to me.
I've tried adjusting them with ever known 'trick' in the book. Resetting the hinges, bending the hinges, even getting some weather stripping and stuffing it in there. They just don't seem right. Is there a way to move the door closer to the deadbolt side? It isn't out of square, I've checked that. It swings fine. I just get leaks.

Got another 20 birdhouses cut, sanded, and packaged up. Delivering them to the kids in the neighborhood tonight.

You could put flat 1/16” shins behind the hinges on both the frame and the door. Should shift it over.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
