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...

Cord for Vivosun Controller to automate an electric heaterI have a Vivosun CFM In-line duct with the Temp/Humidity controller. We’d like to connect an electric heater so that it can automatically come on when the temp is low inside the Tent. Any suggestions to what would be compatible to my Vivosun temp/Hum Controller?

PH TestingI have a vivosum ph meter, a ph tester for the up/down ph liquids and ph test strips. All of them don't seem to agree with each other with in a range of 1 ph across the ph scale. My question is what is the most reliable or is there a different method I should use?

Hi everyone, I would like to ask you how you test Temperature and RH. Do you put your thermometer under the direct light at the base of the plants or inderectly, because I have pretty different values . If I put it under the light my temperature is near 35°C and RH is under 20%Setup. Sensors
