pH pen cali

I went and bought some ph calibration solution, but the bottle says it needs to be at 25°c .Do people actually get it to the right exact temp? Or should I not worry .And if I should worry can I put it in the micro wave for 5-10 secs? Lol

It would be best to follow the instructons.
I would rather place it outside and let ambient temp warm it up vs putting it in a microwave!

Room temperature works for me

Room is generally close, beats a microwave lol

Yea I really didn't think the microwave was a good choice but im in Canada so when winter comes it's gonna be like 19° room temp I'm hoping that's not to much? I guess if I really had to I could put the solution bottle in a bigger warm container of water for a while. So much work tho

I wouldnt worry about it too much! It will give a slight variance, but it wont be too far off! If you run a space heater, just keep it in the same room! If not, wont be the end of the world!

Hey I'll just leave it somewhat close the grow lights! There a bit warm haha. Thanks bro

You can get a temperature chart online . That will give you a cracked calibration for the temperature your solution is at

What is the brand your using ?

[Jeezusjuiicee]

Found that chart, from 4-7ph the temperature doesn't affect it at all! (7.02@20°c) so pretty much nothing. Thanks so much bro my mind is at ease

I'm using general hydroponics standard reference solution.

I didn’t think it effected it greatly but I’m glad I could help bud .
