Look into this one.
The pH meters with the little metal spike and gauge do fucking suck. If you do anything hydroponic related, you absolutely need to have a good meter. One fuck up 3 months in and you have a big crop of stinky hay.
Coconut is a great medium. Stick with organic nutes. I used neptune's harvest to great effect, but not sure how available they are.
I can't stress to you enough though, get a good pH meter. $50 isn't shit when compared to the time and energy you'll have spent on a crop that goes bad down the road. The motto of 'cry once, not twice' is really appropriate with growing pot.
Some nutrients will change the color of your water so you wont be able to get an accurate measurement. Spend 15 bucks on a digital pH pen and learn how to take care of it.
I've been using this one for years
Eeeee.. I have zero experience with kits like that. I use [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ENFOHN8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_XV2MDbSQ7ZA6Y) since [the one I bought originally] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N20ZRC5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_jX2MDb2AKB2N4) was wildly inaccurate.
Without a meter, you’re shooting in the dark. Unless you can find ph’d bottled water, it’s almost as good to power through it and do nothing. Here’s the meter I first bought (it lasted about two months). And here’s what I ended up with, and I couldn’t be happier (I also picked up a bottle of calibration solution).
What are you using for a grow medium?
This is my 3rd grow with both Durban Poison and Blue Mystic and they've both been super easy, to be honest. I had some PH issues on my first grow because I over analyzed my meter and fucked with the PH down too much. I also treated the coco like soil and only watered every 4-5 days, AND I used plain PH'd water with just CaliMag added every other watering.
Now I just add 1ml of PH down per gallon every time regardless of what nutrient ratios are, and I water with nutrients every time, every other day. I only check PH every other or every third watering with the test solution, and as long as it's yellow-ish without too much of a green or orange tint I don't worry about it.
