Live Stoner Chat PH Tester

Howfy All-

I am going to buy a new tester as last cheap one was worthless.

I know @Waira mentions Accurate 8. Is that soil and moisture? I want a decent one to measure soil and liquid nutrients do I just want to be clear I get the right thing one.

Thanks.........jack

I currently own and am using the Apera PH60. It has been the most consistent of my ph meters. I have a couple of Bluelabs and an Oakton Eco Tester ph2 and all of them, in time, end up drifting. Yeah, the Apera has been good.

Thanks @AutoWonders. I’ll research that

Anyone else have experience with accurate 8 or any other testers? Not sure if 8 checks ph of nutes going in the soil

accurate 8 is what most of us use on site .yes it does ph and moisture in soil.

@DABaracuss thanks. What I’m asking is does it check ph of mixed nutes before feeding the plants.

Thanks..........Jackson

 

[DABaracuss]

No its for soil only . You need a combo pen or just one for PH/TDS or EC I have both the ph pen and accurate 8 soil probe.

@DABaracuss thats what I was needing. Thanks man. Gotta into that

 

[Jackson]

Look into that @DABaracuss

I use an Apera PH60 for checking pH of liquid and an Accurate 8 for testing soil PH and moisture. It’s been a pretty good setup. But, I’m thinking about getting a digital moisture Meter from Blumats ($50 on Amazon) that gives to a specific moisture reading using the same ceramic tipped probe that their watering systems use. Supposedly the perfect soil moisture content of many soils is 100 millibars. I think it’d be cool to get that reading.
