Advice on PH meters

[SativaSmoker]

Hello everyone, I am a new 215 patient and grower. I am running a small bubbleponic DWC grow, 2 res 10 gal each hosting 3 plants. I've been using PH strips to test the solution but I don't trust them. I want to get a reliable and accurate digital PH meter. I'm debating between 2 PH meters both Hanna, both compartaively priced. Has anyone used either model? what do you think of it? Any problems I should be aware of on either model?

for pen style ph metering i like the HANNA HI98127.it will cost more but it's well worth it.

have used the second one 98107 very good they both look good bits of kit, but the strips are pretty good also i know you cant get the excact figure to the point with them but ive used in the past, along side my meters when i thought i was having probs, as they will always give true result while ive had faulty meters really cause me probs, keep a strip pack as back up.

buy a hanna combo meter, thats your best bet. you need to check you PH & PPM so might as well get a pen thats going to do both. its 200 but its well worth it, just dont let it dry out.


anything cheap is just that, cheap. you get what you pay for.
