Bluelab Explained – Be PH, CF & Temp Perfect

Bluelab Explained – Be PH, CF & Temp Perfect

Alex Grady

Your nutrient pH, CF & temperature are vital. Get them right, and plants perform. Get the wrong, and you’ll have problems.

  • Target pH: 5.5 – 6.5 (ideally 6)
  • Target nutrient temperature: 18 – 21oC
  • Target CF: Depends on your water hardness and stage of growth

To get precise, easy nutrient readings there’s one brand to use – Bluelab. They’re proven performers and we’ve sold them for years.

Their moto’s success by simplicity – you don’t have to mess around with lots of buttons. Even calibration is simple – there aren’t any fiddly calibration screws - just a simple button.

All GroWell staff are certified Bluelab handlers – if you need help with a Bluelab product, get in touch.

Why we Love It

There’s a reason why Bluelab products are bestsellers.

Easy calibration

Most come factory calibrated and are ready to use straight away. When you do recalibrate, the recalibration button makes it easy.


Built to last

All products are robust and reliable. As long as you look after them and maintain them, they’ll really last you.


12 month warranty

Most products come with a 12-month warranty. The Bluelab Combo Meter comes with a 5 year warranty (6 month on the probe).


Extra pH measuring points (calibration)

You can calibrate using pH 7, pH 4 & pH 10. Really, just pH 7 & pH 4 are enough to ensure your pH is super accurate.


Temperature Compensation

To get precision pH readings, your nutrient temperature is taken into account.
