Is this meter heaven sent for hydro horticulture?

costs $100-160 and measures ph, dissolved oxygen, light, motion, pressure, force. Did i miss something here?

the link did not work

here

its basically like a portable computer lol haha but yh it seems to do the complete job

wow....any updates on this?

i dont see any probes...how is the pH measured? or did i just not read?

hol-e. shit bluntman!!!!

okay i just read...i gotta put in a order !!!! seriously

it claims to do more, but you need the 'appropriate probes/sensors'

haha yeah but i just found the ph sensor for it and thats an additional $80... would be nice to have it in one unit but looks like it only stores the info then you have to dump it to your pc

you want your ph between 5.5-5.8 for hydro, for soil you want 5.8-6.5

thats all fine and good, but it appears you completely neglected to read the post.

Perhaps paying closer attention in the future will help you to avoid further embaressment.

hahahaha

lol thats great. i read that post 3 times... still lost.

HAHA!!!!

he was so serious too!!!

hahahaha I love it. That dude didnt read a friggin word.

Glad you guys r liking this meter. It is one of those things like thermostat controllers. IF they put hydro on the label the price goes up 10X right? f'king bullshit.

anyways if anyone ends up getting one I would love to hear about it. Mainly I am wondering how accurate the meter is among other things. Someone posted about the probes earlier.

It says it comes with 3 probes for its various functions and you can buy more to detect and or measure different earthly occurrences

dude their probes are hella expensive

i thought about getting one until i added up all the probes i wanted...


whew shitballs

damn...doesnt it come with a probe for ph, tds and others stock though?

TI-CBL 2 kit comes complete to help you get started
Includes 3 probes: an improved stainless steel temperature probe, voltage probe, and light probe. Includes innovative cradle system and a six-inch link cable. Also includes a Teacher Guide containing experiments for science and math, a TI resource CD, and 4 AA batteries

I have the PH & nutrient pens I even have the Bluelab truncheon as a backup but now I want an all in 1 meter which measures PH,PPM,EC,MS & TEMP of my reservoir, Id especially like the ones which you have to leave the probe dangling in the water constantly so it always gives a constant real time reading?
Can you fellas recommend anything (Im in the U.K. so the popular ones would be easier to get hold of).

Seems like its WAY too expensive. Especially wen it is NOT designed to be used fer growing, therefore, who knows its accuracy? I wud H8 to pay that much $ fer it + the probes, just to have it potentially kill my crop
