Looking to read more into ensuring correct PH for water /feeds and what sort of tool I need to measure PH.
Anyone have any recommendations? Much appreciated! <3
Edit- found this, quite expensive though:

Re: PH measuring device
Either of these will do ewe bach cheap as chips and accurate as fuk no batteries needed nor calibration either, a faultless £5 worth of kit, I've had several meters but I always trust the liquid test over a gadget see

Re: PH measuring device
I've run hannah, bluelab, essentials, ht horticulture and others. They all do the job TBH. The cheap ones don't last as long as the more expensive ones and the aftercare that comes with a Hanna or Bluelab is what you pay the extra for too. If anything goes wrong and they will bend over backwards to help you. Personally I'm running a cheapo chinese combo meter and it's been great. Had it eight months and it never skips a beat and always seem to calibrate fine. Never really swings that far out TBH. There are also litmus paper kits and regent drops and they give you a rough estimate but you need natural light to get a real good look at the colour produced.
Here's a link to the one I currently use.

Re: PH measuring device
I've had the essentials and a HM digital pH pen. Out of the two i did prefer the cheaper essentials one as it gave a satisfying beep when the reading is ready. The only reason I got the HM digital was because the shop didn't have any in and the last bluelab pen had just been sold and I needed one a bit quick. Just my 2 pence
