Hello again, I'm on a quest, I guess, I'm in search of a "reliable" ph meter... I'm Covid-broke at the moment, so I really can't afford to go through 3 different brands before finding a decent, reliable, pro consumer company to deal with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance~

I have blue lab it’s a lil pricey though
Here's a good one: https://amzn.to/2WHYeYg There's also another one by Apera but it's more expensive. Don't forget to use storage solution whenever you're not using it or else the probe will dry out and the pH meter will be useless. I made that mistake in the past.
@Mr. Grow It $50 I can do. Does the storage solution come with the meter?
Unfortunately no. Here's the stuff I use: https://amzn.to/3poK3DN
@Brandon that blue labs is about $70 isn't it?
The one I got was more but I can check soil too
Yeah, I've just noticed a lot of reliability issues when it comes to ph/ppm meters. I don't mind saving up a few bucks to get a reliable one. I just also wanted to make sure that it would work through at least a few grows. How much did yours cost, and how long have you used for, any reliability issues?
This is the one I have and I been using it about 6months now no problems yet you have to cal it too and the storage solution
God damn.. that things a Cadillac lol. Does the storage solution come with the meter?
I might be able to wing that, if we could get a 2nd stimulus check.
I’m not sure if it did but I don’t think so just a couple test packs to cal it I think but I could be wrong
I have the one for just water ph i just find it easier with the soil ph too
https://www.amazon.com/Apera-Instruments-AI311-Replaceable-2-00-16-00/dp/B01ENFOIQE this one comes with storage solution & 3 small viles of calibration solution as well 80.00
Good score @shaw076! I added the Apera to my Amazon wish list!
