I got this TDS, EC, ppm Blue Lab TRUNV2 Truncheon off of amazon because it was the best ranked and best rated meter with an unbelieable 5 star rating. I was excited to use it in my series of nutrient tests featured on my channel but unfortunately, I needed something way more accurate. As seen in their description, this only starts reading at 120 ppm:

Measurement Range: 2 to 36 CF, 0.2 to 3.6 EC, 140 to 2520 ppm (EC x 700), 100 to 1800 ppm (EC x 500); General uses include gardening, hydroponics growing tent and reservoir

The meter is accurate, but when Im mixing ml's of nutrients per gallon, I want to know changes in ppm far below 100's which is impossible with this device. Its good if you're the type to put in EC's of 1-2, but if you seen my hydro grow series, I literally get away with EC levels of .5 throughout bloom so this meter is not my cup of tea. Its sturdy and serves as a great mixer and comes with a 5 year warranty so it may work for you.

    I am just starting my hydroponic journey. I find your channel very informative and concise. I have been trying to look around everywhere and you seem to be the best channel for beginners. I truly appreciate you and cannot wait to dig in even more of your work!

    Since I calculate and mix my fert myself, this is actually perfect for me! I only ever measure the finished nutrient solution... No reason to measure it before that point, since all the ingredient-levels are calculated and adjusted by the program, so all you need to do is adjust the overall strength, and everything changes proportionally. And like that, you can cover the .6 ec up to 1.6 or so (300-800ppm) easily with the truncheon... Nice! It's in the post... Edit: Since I have the commercial one that goes up to 6ec, I'll start experimenting with making nutrient solution concentrate, that could make the workflow EVEN easier...
  • Yes had no value same happened to me has to be at least 120 and beyond won't register..I have one
  • Wait, you never go over 200-300ppm? How is this possible? I veg around 400-500 and go up to 800 during flowering
  • I just got mine today (Blue LAb Truncheon) and think I'm gonna send it back (Amazon) Will not read lower than 200 PPM...like WTF? For the price it'd be nice to be able to use it from 0 to 3000 PPM.. SMH.. I have to rely on my cheap Vivoson EC meter to let me know when to switch out my RO membrane.
