pH Indicator test strips

Ensure optimal conditions for your mushroom cultivation with our pH Indicator Test Strips, specifically designed to help you monitor and adjust the pH of your substrate. These easy-to-use strips provide accurate readings, allowing you to create the perfect environment for healthy mycelium growth and high-quality mushroom yields.

Key Features:

• Wide pH Range (1-14): Suitable for testing substrates of all types, from slightly acidic to neutral or alkaline.
• Quick and Reliable Results: Provides instant pH readings with a color-coded chart for easy interpretation.
• 80x Non-Bleeding test strips: Ensures accurate results without contamination of your substrate.
• Optimize Substrate pH: Most mushrooms thrive in a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. Use these strips to ensure your substrate is within the ideal nutrient availability and mycelium colonization range.
• Prevent Contamination: Balanced pH reduces the risk of harmful bacteria or mold, ensuring a clean environment for your mushrooms.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for testing substrates like straw, sawdust, or compost, as well as casing layers.

How to Use:

1. Collect a small sample of your prepared substrate.
2. Moisten the sample with distilled water until it forms a ball when squeezed (avoid excess water).
3. Insert the test strip into the moist substrate and wait for the color change.
4. Compare the strip’s color to the provided chart to determine the pH level.
5. Adjust the substrate’s pH if necessary using gypsum.
