Anybody have any problems with thses ph testers? I added nutes, Advanced Nutes, to water and I keep getting diff readings, is there a curve as to what is acceptable and not. What a ball buster.

An Apera PH60 is the pH meter to go for.
Acceptable pH is 5.8 to 6.2 in veg and 6 to 6.5 in flower if in coco with regular nutes...the nute manufacturer should give an acceptable rangeFlower Room: 11' x 7' x 7.5'H, 480w AC, 13gal/day dehumidifier, 1.5gal ultrasonic humidifier, 60gal (27gal usable) nute tank, 16" pedestal fan & 18" wall fan.

Sorry. I don't have any experience with the Vivosun PH tester. I was using a Hannah Instruments pen but I let it dry out to many times and it got wonky on me so I replaced it with a Blue Labs pen. It's better than the Hannah, IMHO. Good luck...might be time for a new tester.Auto/Photo Tent: Gorilla 2x4x7'11" HLG 350R, Infinity 4" w/Carbon Filter, Coco 50/50 perlite

I have to agree with Bluey on the Apera....for several years I chose to use the cheaper pens including Vivosun which was the best of them....the less expensive pens work for a while but never really lasted in my experience and made me question things at timesComment

I got tired of recalibrating the damn thing all the time and went back with the tried and true Litmus paper. Never fails.Comment
