What kind of meter do I need? I want to be able to measure my nutrients and ph? I'm new to this so I'm not sure what i'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

You can get combined pH and EC (nut) meters, but it's cheaper to just get one if you can do without the other. It also means if you break one, you only need to throw one. If you don't have much $ spare, here's a post a made in another thread just recently;

The combined or Tri meter's work well if as all meters you keep them calibrated. They all normally have different types of sensors in the same tip to read each type of settings. I like using a standard TDS or EC meter that measure PPM (parts per million) of dissolved solids for how much nutrients are present in your mixture. I use a separate meter for measuring PH as these are more sensitive to getting dried out and then can read incorrectly. If your hydro you should have something ASAP to read how much your feeding of nutrients and what the PH is.

I like them seperate. Check amazon.com for a com-100 meter for $55, and look for a Hannah pH meter on ebay for about 30.
