The EC / pH of your soils seems off. What should I be expecting?

The EC / pH of your soils seems off. What should I be expecting?

If testing fresh soil we highly recommend the 1:2 slurry method. You should expect the pH to be within the stated range on our technical specs. To find the tech spec of our products, please visit: https://bio365.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/products

If diagnosing a growing plant either use the pour thru method or take a sample and measure using the 1:2 slurry method. Please see our bio365 Protocol for Measuring EC and pH attached below for a step-by-step description of those processes.
