Can somebody describe what they can see in this picture? I only received it a few days ago, and since have been watering based on what the Truncheon tells me, but few days later i see a toxicity on my plant, and testing it against the Digital TDS meter shows me diff numbers(?)

I have to say after reading online the manuals for both meters, both have embedded termometers to work under any temperature, and they come factory calibrated so I suggest this: 1) Clean them both very well with distilled 7.0 ph water. 2) If you're using rechargeable AAA batteries with the Truncheon, that's the issue, replace them for regular batteries. Measure again, stirr for a moment and let them stabilize, hopefully the readings will be a lot closer than now!

PH and EC meters require calibration, and very frecuent to make things worse. We have a professional lab PH/EC meter, actually used for beer brewing, but also used to help with day to day growing, and it's a pain in the ass to get calibrated every time before use. I suggest using a solution with known values on both meters and see which one is the uncalibrated, hopefully it's advanced enough to be allowed to recalibrate. So good you have two of them! Happy smokes!
