Opinions on bluelab pulse? Worth the money for Coco growers?
- Thread starter Hanrahan

I see little use for a moisture meter with coco, just feed frequently. Blue Lab is good but over priced, especially the Pulse.
Around $20-40 will buy a good EC meter, I bought two used COM-80 EC meters for less than $10 each on ebay and they work just fine, unlike the inaccurate $10 no name meters they replaced.
I've got a truncheon and a guardian. I'm reading all this stuff bout crop steering and % mc. Gotta dial em in for vegetative and generative gives me a headache! Ive always grown in peat based substrates this is my 2cd coco run. First one was awesome, second one I started using jacks 321 cause I had a bunch. Plus went from 3 gal pots to one gal and some two gal. Freaking mg deficiency maybe some calcium first week of flower!!#$_-++-&!?!& I never have these issues where I can't find a cause. Pulling my hair out. If I didn't know better I'd say I was over-watering. This is the stuff that made me wanna get one. All my runoff and pH is good starting h20 is 30 ppm. I ended up getting one and it's just more variables to consider. Shit that I don't and never had considered in the past. I'm rambling sry bro. Appreciate your input

Agreed, the COM-80 ~$30 new is accurate and reliable, the screen sucks but who cares if the numbers are reliable.
The $10 EC meters are junk, the readings are unreliable even after calibration.
New coco. Flora duo I used last run. That's good advice bro.
