Water and soil testers - help please!

Hey guys - I am trying to get what I need but the water tester and soil testers have me stumped because of all these acronyms. Lol
I am growing indoors in soil
FFOF w/strawberry hills base and size 3 perlite (have FF trio nutes) in ac infinity 2x2x4 tent. I can’t spend a fortune so looking for a really good tester - is there 1 that can test soil and the water YALL would recommend - if not - which are your top 2 without breaking the bank?
Today is one of my only days off so I’m hoping to find resolve and finish setting up for the new baby.
My “oops” Betsy is growing well but I’d like to do better for Dixie - thanks for your help!
Dixie (pic attached) is 3 weeks old (from seed) and needs to be transplanted.

Apera and Bluelab both make great meters. I use an Apera PC60 that tests both pH and PPM.

Your plant needs to be transplanted into a larger pot very soon.

Thank you for the Rec. she will be transplanted today (should have been done last week but no time). I will look at those and see if I can grab one today!

Very good idea.

You won’t regret those recommendations and they won’t break the bank. Super reliable pens and have been using them for 3 years with no issues :love_you_gesture:

So I won’t need to test the soil? Or still test the soil runoff? I watched the videos on these 2 pens but no mention of soil or runoff.

PH and PPMs should be checked going in and run off Grow Bro :love_you_gesture:
