MAke sure you get some extra calibrating solution I always like to test it every few weeks make sure its ballpark accurate.

They will last probably a year, but they are cheap and better then spending 150 for a good one.

Get a digital Ph meter too, also cheap and better then constantly fucking with drops, and when your high sometimes its hard too focus on the right color.

Click to expand...

Yeah get a combo or get them separate ...Look for one that reads temperature too .. In hydroponics you need to always pay attention to PPM , PH and reservoir temps.

So an aquarium heater in the reservoir may not be a bad idea.

Boomer that is super nice. I most definitely will be be purchasing one of those after reading reviews... when i get a bit more money. For now I am trying to spend under 100.
