Should have asked BEFORE you wasted $8.

Doesn't even make a good paperweight.

for now i say return it and get the ph testers that are done with the green tablets. there located right next to where you got the ph meter im sure...

its called a soil test kit you can use it ten times... its 16-17 bucks ( it also comes with ten of each to check n-p-k levels)

im in the same boat and saving up for a proper ph reader. but at least this should last one grow

I use the ph water test kit and test the run off from the soil. Not sure how accurate it is, but it hasn't lead me astray yet.
