Those cheap PH pens are terrible, however, some of the cheap tds pens are pretty accurate. You could get the cheap tds pen, and a ph test kit if you want to keep things as cheap as possible. You'll probably have to spend at least $70 to get a decent PH pen.

I don’t mind spending a bit extra on ph pen if my plants thank me later. Can u recommend ph pen off amazon. Maybe one u used or know is good ?

I didn't screw around as I usually would. I saw enough threads online about cheap equipment failures and went with the BlueLabs set 3 yrs ago.
I figured since I spent ~$700 on lights, about 130 for some reliable meters was well worth it.

What do u think about the apera pc60 Has heard its same but a bit cheaper

a little pricey but imo well worth it. mine are two years old and working great. calibrate every month and everything is good

I'm only speaking for ph pens but I started with a $35 hanna meter and upgraded to a $80 apera ph60. I'm very happy with the apera.

The case and kit that comes with it is solid. Quick readings with .01 accuracy. Great display and replaceable probes.

I dont think you'd regret going with the pc60 but smokey has a great option too

Bluelabs............I have their pH pen and their EC meter. Both are very good.......very well reviewed and tried & tested. Can't go wrong with Bluelabs.

Blue lab. I personally went with the soil ph pen. Its well worth it.
