Hello,

I'm growing in soil, using smart pots. My garden is small so I'm just ph'ing a gallon at a time.

I don't trust my PH meter I'm currently using! Any recommendations for one that has worked for you?

Thanks!

Bluelab imo is the only way to go as of meters.
But in your case i would just get some ph strips. They work just as well for that small of a grow.

Blue Lab: calibrate it stays calibrated and let's you know when it isn't. I had the cheapo single stem red one from a difft manufacturer and had to calibrate it between readings!! You get what you pay for.

Yes! I have the cheap yellow version of the same PH meter. I'll definitely check out blue lab and the other manufacturers that others mentioned. It's worth the cost if it saves my ladies

Have you tried calibrating yours? The test liquid is cheaper than a new pen. But Blue lab is the way to go.

I like the Anaheim Scientific P771. Has a reasonably priced replacement probe and comes with everything you need.
