What time of day? pH changes in a pond as algae photosynthesizes.

I took a sample to LSU when I was in Baton Rouge last week and I just got the results back today. I plan on taking another sample and getting it tested again.


Also, water chemistry changes as it sits in a test bottle. Anything tested over 15 mins from collection isn't considered valid.

I get all that but my live testing was in line with what LSU got. I just didn't believe the pH would be that low.


Every item they tested for was categorized as "low" or "very low" except for Potassium which was "medium"
