Live Stoners PPM METER and MOISTER METER

[seb56]

Hey looking to purchase a PPM METER AND MOISTER METER, DON'T KNOW IF MOISTER METER IS NEEDED. WHAT BRAND IS A GOOD ONE THAT WON'T BREAK THE BANK. I USE A MILWAUKEE PH METER AND VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

My cheaper PPM meter (15$) is spot on with the 279 blue lab guardian. As for moisture I would get yourself familiar with the weight of your pots. Moisture meters aren’t the most accurate. I do like the rapitest the best as it has a separate probe.

I seen these same ones on Amazon, so ur happy with these. The price seems to be ok. I use distilled water so I doubt the ppm's are high on it. Do happen to use molasses, and if you do. How do you use it. I was told by the guy at my hydro store to use it with my micro nutes which is Beastee Bloomz 0-50-30

pH is critical, I would get a good one, and they do vary in quality. PPM and EC meters are typically way more accurate and durable.

the two best brand names are apera and blue labs. Make sure you get one that adjusts for temperature. Here is the one I use for hydro and the one recommended for soil use.
