Best meter/monitor for UC

[UCaliNoob]

Thanks for the help DS. I appreciate it.

I upped the A and B to a total of 2.5 ml/gal. Will see what ppm is in few minutes. So I'm learning best ways to veg and transition to UC.

You think these will start taking off soon? After I upped the veg nutes?

depends on a lot of things. Nutrient profile is important but water temps, water level, environment, etc etc all play hugely impactful roles in the UC.

The most important thing is to respond to what the plants show you.

wish i had more time to be of help

Good luck.

DS I want to toss these clones and start fresh the right way to ensure root setup is proper.

What should I do? Should I get some dynabloom? I really don't want to waste any more time. Please help...

How do the ones from harbor freight work? Just a probe?

Nope, it shoots ir beam and reads it, like a television remote.

Bluelab Guardian is amazing. A real time ph/temp/ec meter. Very accurate, very reliable. I have a webcam pointed @ mine so i can check it from my phone no matter where i am. AWESOME! Ive used hanna nad another one i bought from china. Quality product.

I keep trying to convince myself to buy the guardian. it is soo slick just sitting there on the wall. But alas, I only really check my levels once an evening, maybe twice if I am adding things... So I just bend over and stick my pen meter in there ... :(

I do have handy real time 24/7 temperature monitoring though.. When the temp raises to 68, this bad boy turns my dehumidifier/chiller on and when it hits 66, it shuts it off. Slick as hell :)

We don't even have one in the room, they don't work in there. Plus, why take the chance, its not like your reading it at lights out, if it even is working properly in there in the first place....

DS the guardian has to have the grey wire not the white one for the probe if using digital gear
