Best Meters

I'm in the market for a pH meter and moisture meter, and maybe a temperature/humidity meter. Problem is, I've already spent a fuckton on growing equipment, and I'd rather not spend too much more.

What's the best quality I can get for my buck for any of these pieces of equipment? Under $20 a piece is preferred, but I'll take any recommendations.

Thanks

i went to walmart & paid $6 for a "soil master" ph meter & $3 for an "acu-rite" combo temp/humidity gauge. yeah, both are cheap as hell but they both work fine. "soil master" also has a combo ph & moisture meter at walmart but i think it was closer to $10.

Hanna's are junk, I've killed 3 of them. Esp the ones with digital calibration, they suck and never are right. Spend $60 on a eco testr ph 2. Best pen on the market. Why would you need a moisture meter? Want to know if your pot is moist? Pick it up.

Yeah I think I'm gonna save cash and stick to using my finger as a moisture meter instead of buying some piece of junk.

And I guess I'll invest in a good pH meter eventually but I think this time around I'm just going to go without worrying about pH

NO. NO. NO. Those are inaccurate, they read ph 7.0 every time no matter what. I can't believe they're allowed to sell a product for years that doesn't work correctly. DO NOT BUY that piece of shit. Might as well toss money out your window.
