Ditto. I have a blue lab ph meter and it is just awesome, calibration isnt a pain like it is on the cheapi units wuth the screws plus it tells u when it needs to be done qnd if u did it correctly.
All this talk just gave me the urge to check my ph! Lol

If you don't want to spend a crap load of money on the Blue Lab, you can get a Milwaukee brand PH pen and temp meter. I've used them for a few years with no problems. You can get replacement probes easily. I've found brand new pens for under $50 and the replacement probes for less than $30 just by using Google search. They are inexpensive, but good quality. Isn't the Blue Lab up to $200? What do the replacement probes go for?

I bought eZITools brand ph metre from my hydro shop not online... does the job perfectly and cost me $40 with 2 years warranty.
Blue Lab is great, but its expensive. Espeacially if your new to growing, you dont need to buy top of the line stuff, you just need a half decent ph metre.
Once your grows are going well and all, then you can think about spending $150+ on a high tech flash ph metre.
My $40 ph pen reads jus as accurate as my mates $180+ Blue Lab pen....
Each to their own really, but if you think about it theres no real need to spend $$$ on your first ph pen.

Careful with EZ meter its cheap crap and will fail within a year. You get what you pay for. Ive been ph'ing water and nutes for that long i know exactly how much ph down to put in without a meter to get 6.5 (soil) and my plants are green top to bottom. In time you will be able to do this to, it saves so much time and fart assing around.
