  1. Hey fellow growers!

    I just wanted to know if any of you knows if this is a good PH meter for marijuana growing.
    The brand is called Doctor Plant, and this is the 2012 model.
    Any advices on this buy?

  2. seems to be good enough for me. go for it. I've seen it before.

    Also could someone tell me if soil pH 6 and water pH 7 is nice enough for cannabis growing with no prob?
     
  3. Thanks, man. I think I may go for it, it's only 40 bucks.
     

  4. I think you can find it for $30 but your choice... gl and basically all pH meters works there are just some cheap ones that sucks... $40 seems to have minimum quality... there are pH meters that are like $300 such a rip off but ok
     
  5. My honest opinion, save your money and dont buy it. Most cheap soil PH probes arent that accurate. They can give you a general idea but can still be off enough to where you have problems. The only accurate and reliable soil PH probes I have seen start around $300 on up and used in nurserys and high school agriculture classes. My first PH meter I had a cheap one similiar to that and it rarely moved off of a PH reading of 6.8 then when testing the run off with a digital meter my PH was 7.2. That explained why my plants were still showing problems on the leaves. A cheap digital meter starting around $15.00 for a basic one that may last you a few grows would be more accurate then a cheap soil PH probe. You would need some calibration solution, some PH Up & Down solutions to go with it.
     
  6. For $30 I would pick up a Milwaukee ph600. I've never seen one of those cheap soil probes that were worth a crap.
     
  7. lol I won't post about shit I don't know... really though a $30 would be enough good.
     
  8. Hey, thanks a lot for the help guys!
     
  9. Just one last thing, I would recommend you a liquid pH tester it's really cheap and you can get in some or all petshops... (just repassing what I was told)

    get the water that goes down from the soil in the pot tray so you get soil pH
