2000 PAGEZ, WOOT!! 5xx more to go in T- 22d....so yak on plz & have a great Caturday nite meow ppp
Covid messes with everything, so it may have made whatever is going on worse. I think most peeps with symptoms that hang on get over them eventually, but long covid is variable, and can be hard. Good luck with it mate, I hope the trend improves for you soon.I just had to get a upper quadrant ultrasound...my hands , legs, and feet been swelling up....I'm hoping everything is OK....I'm waiting on results from doc.....I just had covid but since then it's been worse....
It is unlikely that your cheap meter is the problem. In any case, you can buy some calibration fluid that will allow you to check it. If it ain't perfect, just correct the reading by adding or subtracting accordingly.Honestly, one of the reasons I got out the habit of checking was it had only drifted between 115 & 220 all the times I checked. Can't deny the fact that I've been using a cheap Amazon tester that cost around $7, so it very well could be the meter!
Its true, Im still reeling from covid and I had it early november. I just dont feel the same anymore. And it hasnt gotten any better. Body aches chest pains and stuff. Plus my lungs are ultra sensitive. I have to take tiny puffs or I die coughing.Covid messes with everything, so it may have made whatever is going on worse.

I've researched that and I always add Silica Blast first! I've heard there is a better product, but I bought a gallon and I've had it for a couple years now, (and it's still half full). I had just found my water report online and I've been checking it out for the last few.Water company should be able to give you a report. Add your silica well before all your other stuff and keep an eye on pH. I've only messed with TPS silica and it's crazy unstable
Yes, I just found it! Not sure how to read it, but it does say chlorine. Here's a link! https://acwdky.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/2021-CCR-Allen-Co.pdfCan u not get a copy of your city’s water report online?
I had never heard of calibration fluid for a TDS meter. I always thought you checked it with distilled water. Anyways, thanks for the well wishes!It is unlikely that your cheap meter is the problem.

PPM/EC meters are simple devices with not a lot to screw up, unlike pH meters which are a bad idea to buy cheap. Good luck with it.
What olderfart said is exactly true from what I know....Now I believe the cheap meters my not be able to calibrate and checking ppm of low ppm water in not very accurate... I calibrate my apera ec60 before each grow 3 points low, medium, and high which in running coco IMO it's kind of important cause coco is hydroponics with a twistI had never heard of calibration fluid for a TDS meter. I always thought you checked it with distilled water. Anyways, thanks for the well wishes!
That's kinda an old report but seems to be missing some key info like total ppm, pH and even calcium and magnesium levels. Not missing a page? Anyway, @Mañ'O'Green is the test results and science stuff guru...I've researched that and I always add Silica Blast first!
