There is.

My partner uses calculators that have them for home brewing beer.

It's not as simple as starting pH to target pH though. You need to know the full water mineral profile because that plays a part.

Here's an example of all the stuff you need to know as well as pH:

Get a syringe and add 1ml at a time . Then stir or shake for 30 seconds check and repeat untill you hit your target pH. Count how many ml you put in and if your water is stable in your area then you should just be able to just add that amount mix and check. Instead of adding checking adding checking

Well I really don't think that is applicable, you also need to know the ec that you are feeding

It's the end result after adding your nutrients , but you still need to know EC , how strong your solution are

Cana coco automatically adjusts pH to 6.2 ,at ec 0.8 or above

I add 1 ml to 1 litre of water so 50ml /50l , EC 1.2

Well yeah, but it's not just the EC that matters. The nutrients are adding those minerals and things to the water, which is what is changing the pH.

But that was kind of my point, if you know what minerals the nutrients are adding to the water, and how much, you could in theory work it out using a formula, but there's no real way to measure it, so it's not going to work.

Do you follow the chart mick or just run E.C at 1.2 . I struggle when I get the E.C stick out so I threw the cunt away 😆 I use canna coco but I just run it 3/4 strength. When I follow the chart and recommended EC I burn fuck out of them?

Just found this works for me , fuck the chart it's too much

Just after yrs of getting the same reading , I just a little container marked at 10ml intervals is all I use now

Haven't checked pH or ec for some time now

But thanks everyone for the advice
Like mick said once you figure out your set up you prob wont need to check it. I only check mine every 2 or 3 mixes just to make sure nothing has changed but is always within a point. It's always around 5.8 after I add everything. It sits around 6.1 without the bio diesel and 5.8 when I'm adding bio diesel

I agree with Mick and Hudo 'ya figure it out'. Everybody's setups, resi, nutes and water varies and some wildly. So to be saying '2ml/10ltr' maybe great for someone, but burn the crap out of another grow/setup. This grow game is a learning for everybody, some people will tell you they know it all. It's bullshit. No one knows it all. I know what works for me and my setup, but I do not know it all. Everybody has their own little tweaks, their own ways of doing things and over time you'll learn yours too.

And don't worry about being a newbie, we all were at some stage.
