The brand name is HoldALL. 3 way meter. It tests ph, soil moisture, and light level. It's CHEAP (I I picked it up at either Home Depot or Ace Hardware for under $20.00)and very easy to use, no buffers or anything. Just stick it in the soil hit the switch and it tells you what your ph level is.

I also have an expensive ph meter that has to be calibrated with a couple of different solutions. It is very accuate but a pain the ass. I tested the PH in my soil with the el cheapo holdall then I tested the same soil with the expensive little meter and guess what? I got the same readings. 6-5 ph and the moisture level in my pots are 'wet'

Will this also work in a DWC system?
