Luckily, you can find soil testing kits with a variety of features capable of providing actionable insights about your soil’s content. To build our final list of soil testing kits, we polled a handful of commercial cannabis growers to find what they use on their farms and recommend to their friends looking for the best soil pH tester for home grow applications.
Soil testing methods
Commercial cultivators and home growers have many options to test their soil. Popular soil testing methods include pH test strips, liquid pH kits, meters like the popular Hanna pH Meter, analog probes, chemical tests, mail-in tests, and even smartphone apps that help analyze soil chemistry with the aid of an iPhone or Android device. Some tests also include moisture meters to help cross-check your soil’s health.
We’ve rounded up a diverse list of eight industry favorites, breaking down what makes each soil tester unique and a potential contender for your farm or grow room. While all the testing kits we’ve listed provide pH results, many higher-priced options work like comprehensive soil kits with detailed information on moisture, temperature, nutrients, pathogens, and insects.
