Reddit reviews Hanna Instruments Grochek LCD pHep 4 Waterproof PH Temperature Meter | HI98127

I like the Hanna HI98128. It's water proof, floats, and has ATC as well as a hold function. If you don't need .01 accuracy, you can go down to the HI98127 for about $15 less. I personally have the HI98128 and it has worked very well for me. The electrode on the Hanna's are replaceable as well and run about $40.

Hello! Sure i can post a pic but um.. how do I do that exactly? Haha dont know how. I searched on Amazon this is what it looks like -

Mine does have a plastic build, but it doesnt seem flimsy naman. Hanna is the brand.

But just to clarify - my dad didnt buy this from Lazada. He bought it from a friend from the US. What I saw on Lazada are pH strips.


Regarding how to test - at first I also wasnt sure how to test so I tried two methods:

1. Mixed product in my palm with water then just put the end of the meter in my palm.
   
   
2. Mixed the product in a glass then put the meter in it. (I used more product with this method, to submerge it in more)
   
   
   They both yielded the same results, thankfully. So I just use the product in palm method.

Considering a good grower gets 1g/of LED real watt, you will not meet your expectations of 10-32 ounces with 600$, I am afraid. But have no fear. I am pretty good at budgets and enjoy a challenge so let's see what kind of setup we can generate.

Light - Your biggest and most important expenditure - 250$CADamazon.ca/VIPARSPECTRA-Reflector-Spectrum-Indoor-Function/dp/B01G8GDV32/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3G9VL9397BJLG&keywords=viparspectra&qid=1570768902&sprefix=vipars%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-5

I am an HPS grower that is actively is looking for an LED way out of the cooling I need to provide. I have read amazing things about viparspectra. This light has a real draw of 260W so you will be able to pull a half pound if you dial your environment right.

Pots - Fabric pots are the shit - 20$ CAD

I've grown in clay pots, nursery pots, dwc, rockwool cubes and I always go back to promix. And now I use Smart/Fabric pots. They are the tits of my life, ferreal. The handles help a lot.

We are at 561$ CAD so 425 USD

Buy cheap ass dirt or go dig some up. I've used garden dirt successfully indoors but you will have to spend extra money fighting bests. Get bagged dirt.

5 gallon bucket to run your sauce - like 5$CAD - go to a hardware store

Hooks and chain - Max 10$ at a harware store

You still havent answered my question about smell. A carbon filter and inline fan combo will run you up another 200$ CAD

so like 650$ USD.

Sorry I'm Canadian.
