Cany anyone recommend a cheap and accurate way to test water ph, and also soil ph and n-p-k. I bought some rapitest soil testers with the tablets, also have rapitest probe style that checks ph, moisture, and light, not sure how accurate they are. I cant seem to find anything to test ph level in water that im feeding them. Thanks alot

well if you have a probe test it will do a pH on the water too its not just for soil it will test the pH on every thing i have one like that and it works fine and to see if its accurate or not you can use one of the pH caplets and test the soil with that and the little cup and then stick the probe in there to see if it reads the same and then you will know how far off if any it is

I got one of those from home Lowes. It's a green box on top of 2 probe posts. One silver, and the other copper or brass colered. It's literally just *****. It's doesnt read **** for ****.
I threw it a with quite the smile on my face. If you're going to invest in a decent meter, get a digital one, and don't skimp on the price. You will get what you pay for in ph meters.
