Best ppm meter? And ph one?

[Shroom]

Hello,

Currently in the business to buy a ppm meter and ph meter for a 500€ price range?

Any good one to recommend? I’ve seen conflicting advices from various thread so i’m trying my luck with this one!

Cheers

Apera and Bluelab both make great meters. I use an Apera PC60 that measures both pH and PPM. It is expensive, but a great meter that can be calibrated, as meters tend to drift over time and must be recalibrated.

Hey all, so I know they we have a few people interested in this topic so I figured I would make a thread revolving around psilocybin cubensis and other magic and even the not so special kind of mushrooms if you are growing them. My last grow was alacabenzis, and they were pretty good, I learned a lot about the craft, and am still learning today. For my second round I will be attempting B+ in milo grain and horse manure. I will post pictures and stuff as soon as everything gets here. All are …

I would recommend the Blue Lab for the TDS pen and the Apera 20 PH pen. I’ve had these for over 4 years and they’re both very reliable and accurate

I was using cheap “Hone Forest” TDS/EC meters (about $10 on Amazon), which many people recommended, but I found that they fail after a while - and since you can’t calibrate them, the only way I found out is that I had two, which gave very different readings. Each of the three Hone Forest meters I bought failed after a few months.

So I gave up on them and bought a Blue Labs TDS/EC pen, which is great, but more expensive ($80 or $90). It can be calibrated with a standard solution, so you can trust the readings.
