X xaos Active Member Jan 8, 2009 #1 I've spent the last 45 minutes or so blindly browsing around for a good pH tester, but I really don't know what would be good or not. Could you folks please suggest a good pH meter? I'm looking to spend ~$50, and I'm going to be growing in soil. Thanks!

It makes sense, but I wasn't sure if it was going to accurately meter the pH, being that the runoff doesn't sit in the soil for long.
