So me been most probably high when I purchased this reader I didn’t actually get a ph tester but was wondering if there’s an easier way to convert readings so I can find out what my ph is without buying an actual ph reader haha

Convert from TDS to pH? No. pH test strips are a cheaper alternative to a meter.

not sure if this helps but ive used ph perfect with my current grow and no issues with ph it gets locked and all the waste water will be the same ph as the water you feed it. i did get a ph testing kit to make sure and no issues very happy.

but 14bucks is cheap as piss to reap a nice yeild, just depends what you want. id get a ph testing kit, it will last along time.

I use a cheap ph tester and test strips. Strips are cheap cheap and I just use then to confirm my cheap tester is in the same range. In soil / promix type mediums ph isn't as critical with most water, it has buffers that keep the ph in check so if my tester says 6.5 and my test strips show a close color that's accurate enough for me I'm good in soil from 6.1 to 6.7 any lower I'll add a tbls of Dolomite lime to top dress and water to help lift my ph
