Re: New Equipment???
check the local chemical supply and manufacture plants in the area... not to buy... just to see what their using. They gotta measure all the same stuff. You may not be able to purchase the equipment they have, but note the manufacturer.

if you want an accurate soil tester expect to pay out the nose for it. $500 ballpark!! thats just for the ph
Your best bet would be a high quality pen that does both ec and ph, try hanna, eutech, control wizard, etc.. check the water befor and after (the FIRST FEW DROPS/ OR ABOUT A LIQ OUNCE) coming out the bottom of the pots, then you know what is happening in the soil. get a light meter from a photo supply shop, or just shoot for 50-75 watts per square foot; more than that and you will need some co2 enrichment.
