PH meter recommendation??

Just spilled 2 litres of fertigate. 👍👍🙃🙃

Just so happens that my cheap vivosun ph meter was a casualty. Hoping it will dry out by morning and will be ok.

Other than that what does everyone use? I'm thinking of buying a more expensive one. Price range not an issue.
 
Im only getting back into growing, so this is only my opinion based on all the research I have done. BluLab PH meter's etc are high quality made, and from a company that specialises in these sort of measuring devices.
 
how fast do they give a result? and does the probe stay wet in there? Mine is a cheap one and takes forever to display a proper number and the liquid keeping it wet during storage always evaporates cuz it's shit and there's no o-ring or anything.
 
I have a number of ph pens. The two that I use the most often and read exactly the same are the Bluelab and the Vividsun( not the one for $12.99). The HM would probably come in 3rd.
You want to keep the probe wet. Maybe you could store it standing up in a cup with a 1/2" of clean water in it? Drying out the probe damages it.
 
This is the one I'm using https://www.hydroexperts.com.au/Blu...MImIW3l6qn6wIVzBwrCh1FJAV3EAQYASABEgKtEvD_BwE. It wasn't cheap, but worth the money in my opinion. The probes are always submerged in the reservoir, so always wet. From what I have been reading, most pople good a good life out of the PH probe, and they are replacable with new probes when needed. You can also get a handheld version as well. It a lot quicker than my HM PH meter which I use for double checking and when topping up the reservoir. HM EC meter to checking run off and topping up reservoir.
 
Completely agree with you on the BluLab and th HM meters, I use HM for double checking and reservoir top up etc. Haven't seen the Vividsun one's before, whats the quality like compared to the BluLab?

The vivosun is actually a great meter. Works just as well as my Bluelab. Cost is just under $90
 
I grow with the Auto pot system. Have a Blue Lab PH controller for the Rez. I use a Hannah Instruments PH pen for everything else. Model #98128. I’d recommend both.
 
I'm using Fox Farm Ocean/Forest blend soil 50/50 with perlite. I want to switch over to coco for the next grow.
