NPK & pH Soil Test (10pcs)

Fast NPK and pH Test to Control Soil and Water Parameters

This fast NPK & pH test is perfect for checking the amount of macro-nutrients in your plants’ soil, which are the most important type of nutrients; NPK. You can also check the pH levels of your soil, allowing you to optimize your plant feeding, getting the best possible results; affordable and simple.

This box comes with 10 tests. Each one contains four different test tubes so that you can check each parameter individually. All you have to do is grab some substrate from your plant and put it into some distilled water, enough to fill the four tubes.

You’ll need to know what part of the substrate to take for your test; if you use the top layer of substrate you won’t get accurate results, as it’s the part of the substrate that contains the least amount of nutrients due to the fact that they’re all dragged down when you water your plants. You should try and get a sample for the middle of the flowerpot, or at least 10-15 cm down into the soil. Perfect to use with Boom Nutrients Light Mix.

How to use the fast NPK & pH soil test:

pH Test:

• Grab a big spoon and scoop up some substrate from the middle or lower part of the flowerpot
• Place the substrate in your test tube and add distilled water
• Close the test tube and shake well for 30 seconds
• Add in your pH reaction, close the tube and shake again for another 30 seconds
• Let it sit for 30 seconds more and then check the results with the pH color indicator

NPK Fast Test prep:

In order to test the NPK in your substrate, you’ll need to prepare a cup of substrate from the middle or lower part of your flowerpot and mix it with 8 cups of distilled water. Mix it well and let it sit until the soil is fully settled on the bottom. The idea here is to get water from the top without getting any substrate in the test tube.

Nitrogen test (N):

• Fill your tube with 2.5 ml of your substrate water, make sure no soil gets in.

• Add in the Nitrogen test solution.
• Close the tube and shake well for thirty seconds, then let it sit for another 30 seconds.
• Check the color against the Nitrogen chart

Phosphorus test (P):

• Fill your tube with 2.5 ml of your substrate water, make sure no soil gets in
• Add the phosphorus test solution
• Close the tube and shake well for thirty seconds, then let it sit for another 30 seconds
• Check the color against the phosphorus chart

Potassium test (K):

• Fill your tube with 0.5 ml of your substrate water, make sure no soil gets in
• Add 2 ml of distilled water
• Add the potassium solution, close the tube and shake well for thirty seconds, then let it sit for another 30 seconds
• Check the color against the phosphorus chart

NPK & pH Soil Test includes

• 40 powder sachets (10 for each type of test)
• 1 plastic dropper
• 4 test tubes
• 4 color cards for testing
• 1 graded card

Important:

In order to get correct results from pH, N P and K tests, make sure there is no substrate in the water you’re testing. In order to do this, use a dropper to get the water. Make sure to press the dropper out of the water, and then place it in the water and let go very slowly so no substrate is absorbed.
