Backed by trusted Bluelab technology

The Bluelab Soil pH Pen measures pH and temperature directly at the root zone across soil, coco, potting mixes, rockwool and nutrient solution.

Its professional-grade tapered-tip probe allows for easy penetration and effective contact with the growing medium, eliminating the need for slurry preparation.

With up to 2× faster pH response*, growers can get reliable readings sooner, making routine spot checks of pots, beds and slabs quicker and easier.

*Based on internal testing versus previous-generation PENSOILPH units. Response time was measured as the time required to reach within 0.1 pH of a stable reading under tested conditions. Results may vary.

The fundamentals of soil growing

All plants need a balanced diet of nutrients (food) in order to grow. However, plants can only access nutrients if the pH (potential Hydrogen) of your growing medium falls within the correct range.

Contrary to popular belief, all growers need to measure pH, regardless of whether you’re growing in soil or in solution. That’s because pH plays an important role in making your nutrients soluble so that they can be absorbed by plants. If your soil is too alkaline or too acidic, your plants won’t be able to get all the nutrients they need. 

Temperature also plays an important role in plant health, influencing nutrient uptake, growth rate and overall development.

It’s more durable that they claim

I have been using mine a lot more than usual.We currently have an outdoor grow going. It’s very durable and waterproof. Ya know it’s not so clear in the instructions. You unscrew the bottom a little and remove the whole piece including the top part. Just slide it all offs you unscrew it for the suction. It unseals it. Also when you fill it up, stop just below the lines going down on the sides. You don’t have to keep it upright if you fill it right. It’s super water tight, I leave it outside out of sunlight. I float it in water and test water PH. Love it! Best product.
P.S. dip it in your watering can between measurements. Also don’t knock all the top soil into the hole, you will measure the top soil.

Nothing beats Bluelab!

After buying every cheap soil pH meter there is on Amazon, I finally broke open my wallet for the best one out there. Blue Lab is the best. I can check my soil and water’s pH and I get precise readings now. Treat it right and it will last for years to come.

Works great. Use it for both liquid and soil/soilless mediums.

A company that stands by their product.

I discovered I had an issue with calibration only a couple of weeks over the warranty period and reached out to Bluelab Customer Care. Support immediately got back to me the same day (within hours) and asked me to send more information on my calibration issues. Without any back and forth, within a day they let me know they were going to take care of me. They honored their warranty and immediately sent me a new pen and a printed user guide/grow booklets as well. Bluelab and their customer care are a cut above the rest. Recommended.

Dependable and accurate

Bluelab makes some of the best equipment out there. I’ve used their meters for over 15 years and they have never let me down. It gives accurate info so you can keep plants at optimal nutrient uptake for the best and fastest growth.

Easy to use and seems to be very accurate.

I use this commercially and it does a great job. Easy to calibrate and easy to use.

The guessing is over!

This thing lets you know what’s going on with your soil’s pH very quickly. You do have to calibrate it once every 4 to 5 weeks if you use it consistently, but it’s worth the money if you’re on the fence.
