Measurement
You can grow plants by eye and achieve good results. If you want excellent ones, it is necessary to measure and control the growing environment like a professional. A pH and EC metre for checking watering properties will help you, thermometer and hygrometer allow you to monitor the environment in the grow box accurately. When dosing fertilisers, various measuring cups are essential, and a scale or microscope will also come in handy.

If you grow professionally or long for an excellent harvest even on a small scale, it is sometimes necessary to measure something. In this category you will find tools and devices that growers use in practice.
EC and pH metres are especially appreciated by those who grow hydroponically. The acidity and electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution can be one of the decisive factors standing between you and a perfect harvest. You can measure the acidity of the solution or soil easily with a classic BEN test or a sophisticated digital pH metre - for example Milwaukee 55. You can measure EC, or the electrical conductivity of the solution, with a digital EC metre, such as Milwaukee 611 or ADWA AD32.
It is a good idea to care for sensitive devices so they last as long as possible. Keep the pH metre probe in storage solution, because if it dries out, it measures inaccurately. By contrast, EC metres must be kept dry; excessive moisture damages them. The devices need to be adjusted from time to time, and calibration solutions will help with that. Calibration is usually simple and definitely worthwhile. After each use, it is a good idea to clean the EC or pH metre.
TIP: Did you forget to put the pH metre in storage solution? Do not worry. Try soaking the probe in calibration solution for several hours and then adjust it again.
Temperature and humidity in the grow tent are decisive. Extreme temperatures and relative humidity, as well as fluctuations, harm plants, so it is necessary to keep both in mind. A clear thermometer and hygrometer will help you create ideal conditions for growth, and if you get a device with a probe, you do not even need to open the tent to check it.
Would you like to admire a beautiful harvest up close? Do you need to shine a proper light on the plant to find out what pests are crawling on it? We have magnifying glasses and professional microscopes for you. Popular with customers is the VF microscope, which magnifies 60x and is equipped with its own LED light.
A measuring cup or pipette is an invaluable helper for precise dosing of fertilisers. A pocket or table scale will also come in handy. If you care about the yield of your indoor grow room, you can calculate electricity use with a digital wattmeter. For growers who use CO2 dosing equipment, we recommend a CO2 monitor with a clear display.
In the Water treatment category you will find everything you need to adjust watering properties exactly to your plants' needs. You can adjust pH value easily with an acid or base from the well-known BioNova; a simple and gentle solution is, for example, the organic Bio Up and Bio Down from the BioBizz brand. If you want to give your plants only the purest water and be sure that there are no unsuitable substances in the watering, we recommend filtration units that use reverse osmosis.
Automatic dispensers maximise yields from growing and are suitable for large-scale growing.
