or an indoor gardening place, if there is one in your area, if you wanted a meter now

i would buy a PPM meter before i'd buy nutrients.

Yes, get a ppm meter and the first thing to do is test the water you plan to grow with. If you have a high ppm in your tap water, don't use it, use bottled or RO water. Only sadness and grief will follow if you don't.

2 cents worth

once you get your truncheon ide spend money on advanced nutes sesi grow/bloom 2 part fert and some or all of the other products that go with them. you can see the grow charts at advancednutrient.com go to nutrient calculator and click on appropriate range and adjust the resivoir size to half the volume of your tanks. its coz the ppm would be too high if you calculated it for the actual size of your res.

i questioned this at first but have been using adv nutes for a while and the growth rates and health of my plants when using the above method have been far superior than any other ferts ive used.
