Hi everyone, trying to get a 4dkh solution for my drop checker and have some recipes with baking soda that i am experimenting with. I am using a Nutrafin KH/GH tester and I am trying to find out how to test to know when I'm at 4 to confirm the recipe.

Unfortunately the tester gives results in drops for you to then multiply the drops by 10 to get KH in mg/L. It then says to divide your answer by x0.056 if you want the results in dH. So my question is, is 4dH what I'm trying to achieve, i.e. the same as 4dkH? I'm assuming this and hoping I'm right.

Thanks in advance.

4dH of KH is what we mean when we say 4KH.

Ok kool, cause that's actually about 70mg/L in my kit or 7drops. Was just making sure it wasnt supposed to be 4 drops.
