I’d take that back if you can. It’s not worth the box it comes in. Sorry to be harsh, but it’s the reality.

That helps a lot!! So when it comes to that 5-1 meter it’s best to go expensive then right? Or will the cheaper ones be good too? I found a 4-1 that’s like 40 bucks!
These are not common. Can you post the brand/model so I can take a look?

It’s a 3-1 I’m sorry the 4-1 is like high 20’s$
It should be okay. It may not last long, but it will be okay while it is if you keep it calibrated.

I’ll just get the more expensive one it’ll last won’t it? I’m on a bush but if it’s worth it for the long shot I’ll spend!! That’s a more important crucial tool that will be used often im sure!

What yu think about this one?
The cheap ones are all the same. They are Chinese copies and of lower quality.

Any suggestions on best organic fertilizers/nutes?
my local friend uses gaia green and really enjoys it. “best” though, i have no idea.
their pen meters are about $100-150 usd, direct from them. still definitely costly though.

This line up here? Ik they have different selections but the 4-4-4 I’ve heard about. This would work for top dressings wouldn’t it?
i don’t know everything he uses, but it’s at least their 4-4-4, the bloom 2-8-4, and worm castings.
the bloom and worm castings are part of his top dress mixture (not sure if 4-4-4 is part of that as well). but yes, the products can be used with top dressings (and teas).
