> i thought my tap water was too acidic because ppm very low
PH and PPM don't really have anything to do with each other.
> so have no idea how adding baking soda helped since using very tiny nutrients.
Avoid using Baking Soda in hydro. It's loaded with sodium which will lead to calcium lock out and nute deficiencies.
For PH up and down, I went to a local feed store over a decade ago and bought 5lb tubs of dry, powdered food grade Potassium Bicarbonate (PH Up) and Phosphoric Acid (PH Down) for under $10/ea. I've still got half the tub of PH down and have barely used the PH Up (pretty much only when I screw up and add way too much PH Down).
For testing, the only reason I'd recommend a meter for a small home garden is if you're color blind. I've used these for well over a decade. Under $4 for 160 tests (or use both ends of a strip and get ~320) and they're plenty accurate enough for basic cannabis growing. For more accurate testing, you can use shorter range litmus paper, such as this but I've never found it necessary.
Oh, if you don't already have and eye dropper or something similar handy, get some pipettes to pull water from your buckets to drip in the test strips. Don't dip the strips in your res, that's a contamination risk.
I haven't personally tried Solarez, but I've heard from other cuemakers who have tried it that it was "just ok".
I have tried several epoxy finish techniques in the past and I've struggled to get it to really bond well with bare woods. I had better luck basecoating the bare wood with superglue, then finishing with epoxy over it.
The most annoying thing with epoxy finishes is they seem to bubble and separate from the underlying wood a lot easier than auto clear. I've had the best luck with automotive clear which I spray on with an airbrush. I found a good kit on amazon that comes with a compressor and a decent airbrush. I've used this kit for about three years now and it's been great:
Master Airbrush
I buy my auto clear in the smallest cans possible. The clear I use is two part. Four parts of clear mixed with one part activator. I use cheap plastic drinking cups as mixing containers and I bought a bulk pack of pipettes to mix up the small amounts of clear you use for cue finishing.
Disposable Pipettes
Make sure your plastic mixing cups are recycle code 1 or 2 (polyethelene) which is resistant to solvents. Recycle code 5 and 6 (polyprop or polystyrene) melt immediately when exposed to solvents. I buy the cheap clear party cups at the store and they work fine.
I thin the clearcoat quite a lot with lacquer thinner, especially for the first coat so the clear soaks deep into the surface and gets a good grip to build subsequent coats onto.
If you do try the Solarez, let me know how you like it. I've been paying attention to other makers impressions of it but most go back to their prior method after trying it on a few cues.
Just like the other 2 redditors, I recommend you refill the cartridges: is not hard and you will have a higher ink capacity! I do not use a syringe, I use one eyedropper like this that was a gift from Birmingham pens.
