Anyone have suggestions for a good soil NPK meter? I've checked out the Rapitest 4-in-1 but it had mixed reviews. Any help is appreciated.:hippy:

You have to be kidding me...all the growers on here and no one with an answer?? NPKs are pretty much the most important thing to a good grow so I think this question would be pretty important...:wtf:

Any help, pretty please with hash on top??? :D:stoned::hippy:

You gotta give ppl a chance to reply,answers are not always instantaneous...ppl have lives...

Anyway,i use a truncheon pen and it has worked witout fail for the past 3 years.
Quick and precise but the price might throw you off,depending on how big a grow you actualy have. :jointsmile:

you can have a look at it here: Bluelab Truncheon Meter - EC, CF and ppm measurements (http://www.getbluelab.com/shop/Bluelab+Truncheon%AE+Meter.html)

I understand people have lives but I've seen experienced growers posting on the grow threads since I originally posted this, leading me to believe either A-they didnt read this thread or B-Read it but decided not to reply, hence why I said that.

As for your link, that seems to be maybe for hydro. I said in the very first post "soil" lol Will it work for soil?

Thanks for your help. :hippy:

where do you mix your nutrients?
cuz thats where you check the reading ;)

As for ppl not posting here and posting elsewhere,they prolly didnt want to repeat themselves on the subject but thats just my educated guess :rastasmoke:

Oic now. I'm picturing something you put in the soil like a moisture/light reader.

I haven't seen anyone ask/answer this before so I don't know about them repeating anything. Then again I don't read every single thread so I wouldn't know. lol :hippy:

While you're here, can you respond to my "Fox Farm Nutes" thread in Organic Growing section?:D
