The only essential imo is a ph meter as long as that's in check ur plants will take up what nutes u have and if its not enough they will let you know. But again that's all in experience I just think people obsess a little too much over it all and end up causing more problems than they originally had.

I use a budding supplement that pushes the ph below 5. So I will use about 3 Tbs of phUp to get it to 5.5 or thereabouts.

A ph meter is essential for this very reason.

As far as TDS or EC, if you have a mix down pat, you should be able to gauge what your TDS is. A meter is VERY handy but with TDS there are 3 different scales, so use the appropriate multiplier.

EC is the same no matter where you go.

I hope this helps.

o know a brand who has good ph meters for € 35
brand is fastech.. but i dont know if you can buy them in the us..

i use them.. and they are oke..

If you re-use your soil a few times... you urn that money for a meeter back very quick..
