Conductivity, pH, care and calibration – in one box

The fundamental parameters of pH, conductivity (EC) and temperature all play a pivotal role in driving optimal plant health. With the Bluelab pH and Conductivity Starter Pack, you’ll have everything you need to measure the fundamentals in one box.

While EC (Electrical Conductivity) indicates the total amount of nutrients in your solution, pH (potential Hydrogen) shows how acidic or alkaline your medium is, which determines nutrient absorption. Temperature affects your plants’ growth rate and structure.  

Get the fundamentals right from the very start by regularly measuring pH, conductivity (EC) and temperature to ensure that these are always within the correct range. 

Take care of all the fundamentals for thriving plant health

Providing accurate readings at the click of a button, you can rest assured that the user-friendly Bluelab Conductivity Pen and Bluelab pH Pen will give you reliable results, every single time. 

In addition, these pens offer a range of in-built measurement units; for conductivity, you can choose between EC, CF, PPM 500 (TDS) or PPM 700; for temperature, you can select ˚C or ˚F.

A Bluelab Probe Care Kit is also included, which contains sachets of pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and KCl solutions for calibrating and storing your pH Pen, as well as 2.77 EC standard solution for testing your Conductivity Pen after cleaning. This kit also includes probe cleaner and cleaning instruments.

Accurate and Easy to use

Just buy this kit and stop wasting money on cheap ones that do not work. These are accurate and easy to use.

Super easy to use and calibrate

I started using cheap pH and EC pens and they worked okay, but I was having regular issues and the calibration was very convoluted. In contrast, these Bluelab pens are awesome. The initial calibration was a breeze and they have needed very little to no care other than keeping them clean. My only quibble is that the backlight times out a little quickly. Not a big issue, but it would be nice if there was a light button so the backlight could be turned back on. My advice to anyone getting into hydroponics or needing a pH and EC meter: just get Bluelab. Anything else is a waste of money, time, and ultimately frustration.

Bluelab PENSTP works!!!!

We ordered this for our aquariums (we have 300). Upkeep is simple, easy, and really nice to use. Everything about our purchase has been smooth, with quick shipping and easy set-up. The calibration process is straightforward and the item is spot on with measurements. I think everyone into fish or aquaculture of any type should invest in these. They work just like they should. We are very pleased to have this in our lives.

Great product

I love that it’s easy to use. I use this for my feed on my Monstera plants and my other plants as well.

Game changer!!!

I was using a cheap one before and it wasn’t accurate, which was really messing up my grows. I bought this and it’s changed my entire grow. I have beautiful plants now and pH is always correct. Just have to remember to calibrate each month. Big investment but totally worth it for me.
