I have an Apera Ph 20, but I never check that shit. I just read my plants. I wish that I could be of more help. I’m kinda like you, I don’t follow any rules. Other than I try to bend them all to the point of breaking. I’ve only checked my PH once , in the beginning of my first run, ain’t checked it since then. Never checked my PPM. From my research, if I had to suggest something it would be, either the Apera or Blue Labs. The second much more expensive. My plants seem to be rolling along without worrying about checking it
I’ve only heard good about Apera. That’s what my next one will be, unless someone comes out with something as good or better for the same price or less.
One thing I can tell you with conviction… If the Apera or Blue Labs pens aren’t out of your price range don’t get Vivosun. If Vivosun is all that fits the budget, you can make due, but they needed to be recalibrated OFTEN.
@repins12 I did not cut the shoot off. I’m gonna keep the tape on for now and see hlw she does up until the switch, no more lst on that shoot for a bit
