Hola, lo mejor para estas mediciones son las marcas BlueLab y Apera Instruments , son un poco costosos, pero es lo mejor, si quieres algo economico puedes optar por un 4en1 como Vivosun (economico , bueno y confiable)

Hi there!
I recommend on investing in good pH meter and couple cheap Ec meters in case otherone brokes.
Ec (Electric conductivity) is measured by two metal pins and it is really cheap and easy tester to produce and the cheap ones as AS GOOD AS the expensive ones and they have calibration option too. I have this one https://img.staticbg.com/images/upload/2014/08/SKU159586/1.jpg and even tho it does not say it there is calibration screw under that gray tape thing.
pH is measured by hydrogen ion activity in the water and accurate testers are more expensive to produce and the good ones has better calibration options etc.
Ec meter wont brake that easily and it holds calibration pretty good but pH meter MUST be stored in KCL or other storage solution and you must take good care of it so it will last long. I have already broken two pH meters with bad maintaining...

Hey...Grow Diaries...What is going on?What is up with this web site. Shuts down Friday and starts up on Monday. Is someone having a long weekend every weekend? Has this site been hacked? Should I be concerned because you have some personal info of mine? Can you tell us what's going on so we are not so concerned?

pH Pen Calibration Frequency?How often should I re-calibrate my PH pen? I have a cheap Milwaukee pH600 and after 3 months of use it had drifted enough to cause real damage (was reading 5.8 when chemical drops read ~4.0). Alternatively, is there a reasonably priced option that would avoid this?Week 12

RH% and temperatureHi guys, got the transplant done today as suggested by Burmese.
I have an issue after transplant:
- My RH doesn't seem to go below 62%
- Is this level bad for the plant?
- What is the optimum RH and Temp for this strain?
- Or average optimum temp and RH in general?
Thank you :)
