I want one...I'm tired of using cheapos....I always use 2 of them for a double reading to make sure I'm on....and I need to splurge and buy a better monitor unit for the aero tank.

OK, I just looked at the price, and I don't want one near so much any more :lol:

I bought the cheapo $20 amazon ph and tds meters and found they were often giving inconsistent readings. Then I bought the bluelab combo kit with the ph and tds meter. The ph meter still works great but I didn't want to spend another $150 on a tds meter to have it only last a year and a half. This one only cost a little more than the combo kit.

Mine is similar to that..... be careful with the tip. I’ve broke two so for. It works great except when the tip is broke.....so I am very careful when putting the tip in now :wink:

I'm going to keep it in the case with the lid on. You can buy replacement tips for $70

It came with a little bottle of that stuff.

I use a glass measuring cup and was careless with the tip , striking it on the rim . The second time it simply slipped from my hand and struck a clay pebble.....damn the luck . Now I a plastic cup ...... and I’m in soil again so I simply quit ph’ing after getting very similar readings for several years from my tap r.o. .

But just in case I do want to get some of that stuff..... where should I look ?

I found this but it’s expensive.

Amazon.com: LabChem LC187951 Potassium Chloride, 3.0M (3.0N), 500 mL Volume : Industrial & Scientific

I’d buy some of the solid salt and make my own 3.0M solution.

Dissolve 224 grams of KCl to a final volume of 1 liter.

I've been using an inexpensive PPM meter for years w/zero problems.

Cheap PH meters are another story. The one I've got now is getting a little wacky and refuses to re-calibrate.
They seem to last about one year before acting up.

Lately I've just been letting PH swing from low to high without making any adjustments. (feed, water, water, repeat)

Since starting my new lab I have taken no measures. PH nor TDS.

Just organic mix, well water and calmag. I can see the PH runs a bit low as symptoms of Molybdenum deficiency show up depending on the strain.
Molybdenum Deficiency - How To Recognise And Eliminate The Problem
The symptoms are very slight. They have little effect on the outcome at harvest so I let it go instead of
jumping through more hoops.

3 harvest and near 4 lb later and Power Kush and Bubba Kush are the only strains that have shown this deficiency.

I'm pretty sure my customer is not bent about it so I'll just keep it simple.

Makes no difference that I've noticed.

It's not there for RH, it's water for them which is sat 24hrs at least before I give it to them but also it's a good place to keep it so to get to pot level temps.

Was wondering, I do the same thing but keep it in a tote so if I'm toasted and knock them over its contained in something. Speaking of humidity I made this a moment ago hoping to raise my humidity without having to buy anything else..

No, hey bro.
If i told you that about a month after the camp fire i ran into our sheriff and thanked him(crying) when i ran into him at the health department when i had to go there. Would you think i was a pussy.
I did. And this man REALLY helped keep us all sane during the fire.
