PH Pens

[Mañ'O'Green]

You have spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars, time and effort getting to this point and you are willing to risk it all on cheap tools. WHY?

If you have a functional Apera, why did you spend money on a cheap alternative. The Apera is a quality instrument which should last a long time with care, and is a heck of a lot more reliable than your new pen. The ppm/EC meter is a different story. The tech is a lot simpler, and with reasonable care even a cheap meter will do the job, and likely for a while. So, your joint purchase got you at least one useful tool.

I suggest you stick with the Apera and use the new pH pen as a backup.

Not sure why I have to defend my purchase to peeps.I bought the cheap set for the tds meter so I could play around with it.I had a nice one before
and never could really figure it out.Thought this was a good way to try again.The ph pen was a throw in has far has I was concerned but
it did make me wonder about the questions that I asked at the beginning of the thread.
Just joined AFN for help with growing auto's and maybe being able to pay forward some of the things I have learned.

Sorry if my question offended, that was not my intent. Good luck with your grow, and don’t hesitate to ask for help or ideas.
