Can anybody tell me what would be a good, and not terribly expensive PH meter to measure the PH for the fertilizing solution I use for my hydroponic plants? TIA!

Hi there, not sure if you saw my previous response but this is what I use - it’s from eBay but you can buy them on Amazon too

Wolfen, be sure to see my post. I think I sent it to myself…🙄!

TXS a million, Wolfen! I have 11 plants in PON, now, and I’ve only lost one. It was a plant with extremely fine roots, and I think I killed it by washing it too well. Otherwise, the rest are doing pretty well, some better than others. I have several that have gone crazy being in PON; it’s as if they just love it, and after a period of time doing nothing, they suddenly start sprouting new stems, and leaves! WOW, it just blows me away! I’m anxious to get started on a few others, but it is time consuming, isn’t it?! How are you doing with both your new job, and all of your plants? I’d love to hear, if you have the time. Again, TXS for your help!

Most of the plants do like to go nuts when you change them over. I'm glad yours are all doing well. Sounds like it went into shock with its fine roots. It's definitely time consuming. I have to do a lot of repots here soon and not looking forward to it. Even just the regular ones. I lost a few plants between work and pneumonia. But I finally kicked the pneumonia a few weeks ago. And I finally got 2 days off instead of just 1

So will have time to rest and refigure plant care. Since there's still been no fix to all my plants that changed to 2-3 day water schedules

I know what you mean about those 2 to 3 day drinkers… (and a few even one day!). Those are are the ones I’m transferring to PON, because they drive me crazy! Have you used any of the 3 inch self watering pots, like maybe for succulents or cactus?  
I bought some, but they look so small, that I may return them. I did purchase the items you suggested for PH monitoring. Thanks again, for taking the time to post those items for me to see. I’m really glad to hear you’ve recovered from pneumonia, and now have another day off from work. With some renewed energy, and a bit more time off, you can fix your watering schedule, and maybe get a few more plants into PON…😉! As always, I really appreciate you’re sharing your knowledge with me. Take care, and don’t go over board on repotting your many plants!
