Sup winta. Things are looking good for ya man! I really like your DIY grow tent idea with that mounted inline fan. Top notch stuff dude. You have been stickin around my journal and I think It's time I return the favor. Sorry about not stoppin by until now. I didn't know you had a journal because I thought it would be a link in your signature. Looks like I should look around more thoroughly in the future from now on. Can't wait to see everything up and running my man!

hey anybody know where i can get a ph ppm tester thats less then $200? i want the hanna pen but if i can get one that is effective and cheaper that would be great :)

Shady you the fuckin man! thanks my dude!

Ahh... no worries. I ordered mine on a Friday and I believe I got it on the following Monday. Excellent turnaround time! You prob should get the storage solution, pH 7.01 and 4.01, and 1413 EC calibration solutions if you order... I forgot and had to pay more at my local hydro shop.

 

[winta]

thats even better! the hydro store i go to wants $230 for that pen and htgsupply want $194 plus shipping :( so this is perfect!

 

[winta]

It's excellent the only prob is that I've packed it way too tight... I really need to start flowering them soon, but I've got to get some funds for my upgrade.... ehh growing pains...:evilgrin

 

[winta]

Hey winta the Pen that shady has is probably one of the most reliable and best for pens for you money. It is an all in one ph/tds meter and it is water proof. Definitely a sound investment. I believe it also has automatic temperature compensation and possibly some other great perks. I have only heard good things about it.

However If you are low on money and you can't afford to spend $130 you can get a separate ph tester and tds meter from ebay for pretty cheap. Here are two links to the ones that I got.
Hanna Checker 1 PH pen
$28.90
HM digital TDS3 tds meter(.5 conversion factor)
$22.20

The TDS meter works flawlessly. The Hanna checker 1 is a good pen that stays calibrated fairly well but it is advised to check its calibration frequently(once a week) to make sure it's on point since it doesn't have auto temp compensation. I use the TDS3 to make sure the temp of my water is always around 68-72F(20-22C) so that my TDS and PH readings stay consistent that way I don't need auto temp compensation.

I have used both units for about 8-9 months now and they work just fine. I may lean to buying the Hann Combo meter in the future though. I like the fact it's water proof and has a lot of good features to offer.

Buy it Nice or Buy it Twice(most of the time)

Sup Winta! I concur... More photos for us picture whores :giggle
BTW, my Hanna is waterproof, but I've made the mistake of submerging the entire pen into my hydro res for a couple months of use, and it eventually got moisture passed the battery comparment's rubber seal... I changed the batteries when this happened a few months ago and now I try not to get the top under the water... Wet is okay, but submerged isn't. :itwasntme Anyways the combo meter is badass cuz you don't need to remove it when testing to switch from PPM, EC, or pH. :D
