The Bluelab Soil pH Meter is a portable digital meter designed to measure pH and temperature in soil and other suitable growing media. Supplied with the Bluelab Leap pH Probe, it enables growers to monitor root-zone pH and make informed decisions about growing conditions and nutrient management.
With a clear digital display, two-point pH calibration and a replaceable probe, the Soil pH Meter is suited to routine measurements in horticulture, greenhouse production, container growing and other growing-media applications.
Direct Growing-Media pH Testing: The included Bluelab Leap pH Probe allows pH measurements in suitable soil and growing media. A supplied dibber helps prepare the measurement hole to protect the probe during insertion.
Key Features
Measure pH Directly in Growing Media
Check soil and growing-media pH using the included Bluelab Leap pH Probe to better understand root-zone conditions.
Two Essential Measurements
Measure pH across a 0.0–14.0 range and monitor temperature using the handheld digital meter.
Maintain Measurement Accuracy
Two-point pH calibration using pH 4.0 and pH 7.0 solutions helps maintain reliable measurement performance.
Bluelab Leap pH Probe Included
The replaceable Leap pH Probe is designed for direct testing in suitable growing media, supporting long-term meter use.
Understand pH at the Root Zone
Root-zone pH plays an important role in nutrient availability. Even when nutrients are present in a growing medium, unsuitable pH conditions can affect how readily plants absorb them.
The Bluelab Soil pH Meter helps growers evaluate pH conditions directly in suitable growing media, providing useful information alongside nutrient solution and irrigation measurements.
- Soil cultivation: Monitor pH in soil-based growing environments.
- Greenhouse production: Check growing-media pH during routine crop management.
- Container growing: Assess pH in suitable potting mixes and substrates.
- Hydroponic substrates: Measure compatible growing media following manufacturer instructions.
- Temperature monitoring: View temperature measurements using the digital meter.
Bluelab Leap pH Probe for Growing Media
The supplied Bluelab Leap pH Probe is designed to take pH measurements in soil and other suitable growing media. The included dibber allows a measurement hole to be prepared before inserting the probe, helping protect the sensitive measuring tip.
The separate probe design allows the meter to be used across multiple measurement locations, while appropriate calibration, cleaning and storage help maintain dependable performance.
