Wow!! $130 for a pH meter? No way dude, you can get just your regular run of the mill paper strips, or if you really want it digital go to home depot and spend $10 on a digital pH meter. Most are 3-in-1's which tell you soil moisture levels, pH, and ppM.

Looks like a good meter overall.
I agree that strips are useless, and a good meter is invaluable. Just keep in mind that a meter that costs $130 is still a very cheap meter, to be replaced as needed.
A lot of growers use the simple $20 pH pens and own several at the same time (backup).

You get what you pay for. I bought a $20 meter and spent far more time calibrating it than using it. I'm pretty sure it was still inaccurate.
Found this add it has some good stuff on it. Might pick up the tent/ph pen/air pots and a hps bulb if he will sell it seperate from the whole lighting set up.

I hear you. It either goes one way or the other with these. Love em cuz they work great, or hate em cuz they are cheap and go out a lot.
Its trial and error for each grower.
