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...

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 :)

Set auto system for VPD or RHI have AC Infinity set up. I am wondering whether I should have the humidity triggers set up for VPD or continue with RH triggers. So far I have it triggered when humidity gets a tad low. If I trigger for VPD, I think I will have to constantly check leaf temp. Thoughts?
