No. If you know how to check the moisture of the soil by the "finger 2 inches into the soil" rule they you shouldn't need this. It's really a noob tool to make them feel better. Instead, get the pH testing liquid, some pH up and some pH down-- you'll thank yourself in the end for it...

I know that rule but I was mainly woundering if the ph meter was acurate? I would rather read a number off a guage than playing the color matching game,lol

Believe me, you'd rather do the color matching game. That ph meter on there only measures soil ph and is no where near as accurate as the liquid..

Yeah I have one and its a piece of shit.
The moisture thing works fine, but I bought it for the ph meter, and it doesn't work at all, it stay at 7 no matter what. I took one at the hardware store and put it in all these different soils and it kept reading the same 7+ PH.
Listen to the milf.

I'm kinda pissed about wasting 20$ but I guess that's why the first grow is so expensive. I haven't been able to get it work either. POS!

Sorry I was referring to the PH meter thing.. I think the only soil PH meters that are accurate cost over 100$
