Can't tell you how many people I've seen agonize for hours trying to decipher colors on litmus paper or in ph vials, or wonder about nutrient concentrations.
No I don't have any meters I just have the ph testing drops. I don't know if they are not very accurate but I just checked the new nutrients after I ran the pump for 30min and it looks to be at about 6.0 and from what I have read that is just about right for peppers. I do plan to invest in the meters but right now I just cant spend much more than $20 on them and I'm sure I cant get anything decent for that but in a few months I hope to get them.
