what PH meter do you use and how long has it lasted?

[Frazz]

OK thanks for your advice & opinions ....

turns out i bought the new Eutech pen meter .... and its wow ... nice green and shiny , reads really accurate , made in Singapore ... im happy as a pig-in-shit!

 

But listen , thats not all ...

ya know cause the old meter was rat-shit i dug out the old Flairform Liquid tester bottle that i had for emergencies like this .... well its about 4+ yrs old now

and i used that for the babies dinners ....

 

What a f*@#ing disaster !!!

turns out the Liquid stuff musta gone off because the real . proper reading that i was feeding the babies was ... wait for it ...

PH 3.4 !!!! ... can you beleive it!

its a wonder the babes didnt keel over dead aye ... well a couple of them did look deformed , but i just put it down to them being retards

 

so short story cut long ... everything should be hunky-dory now

 

cyas round folks .... an merember dont use old Flairform Liquid PH testers ... OK

Hey frazz I find the elcehepo Chinese single point calibration meter for 15 bucks on ebay are accurate and reliable.

No reason why you can't get 2 years out of them. I bought 3 of them for around 50 Bucks. Still using the first one.

 

I used to have an expensive Hanna meter and found it was slow to stabilze and it was less accurate than the cheapy.

Like all PH meters they tke a coulple of days to stabilze after you take them out of the packet

 

$10 free postage from hong kong on ebay....Can't go wrong.

Hi all, don't use a metre myself yet as I am just starting out, but I bought a manutec ph test kit for the garden which seems to be okay but I wouldn't know. Coastal garden beds are reading pretty low (like 5) . Is there a pen type ph'er for all mediums, not jsut hydro? i want one. Don't have many dinero to play with and I'm still trying to set up on the fly-any suggestions? sounds pretty much like anything ya buy these days-hit n miss. shame. peace Vinno

A pH pen is used for checking the pH of nutrient solutions, you don't actually use it in the medium.

That's seriously over the top unless you have decent size commercial grow going on.
