It's been about 6 months since the last post- so how are your various pH/EC/TDS meters faring? Have you made any changes? had problems with your meters or have new recommendations?

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
1 foot in the dirt and 1 foot in hydro; what's a good quality PH/EC tester?

GH test kit was the first one I used. Worked well, but I felt I needed more precision.
Had a Hanna checker die on me pretty quickly. It went way out of wack and couldn't be recalibrated.
Tried pH test strips, but again, hard to see the difference between 5 and 6. I'd use these for soil though. I've also seen some with better resolution than mine.
Picked up eBay copies of a pH and EC Truncheon most recently. I check every couple of weeks. They have enough precision for me. Happy so far.
Once I switched to RO filtered water, I don't need to monitor that closely anymore.
