Look into the apera ph20, a little less expensive but a great meter

Sweet. I just didn’t want to come off as cheap. I don’t mind spending some money. I’m about to order this AC Infinity tent then the black bird or diablo hgl at tax time.

That Bluelab is a nice one. A little more advanced than the Apera.

The Apera 20 only read Ph if I’m not mistaken. I think you have to go to the 60 to get all the same readings as that and it’s about $150 or a little less
I used credit card miles - Thanks for the expensive pen Capital One!!! LOL!

If I’m not mistaken, that meter doesn’t even read ph?

I vote for the Apera 20 like the pros above. The cheaper ones are subject to drift and tough to get a stable calibration and usually quit working in a few months.

pH is not a linear scale. A 0.1 difference is a 10-fold increase/decrease. Just my science PSA blurb of the dayšŸ˜€.

I use a cheapie TDS meter.
