I've been keeping plants for about 5 years and have not bought any meters to track and test light, moisture, temp, ph, and all that. Are these a necessity? I am starting to think that I need these tools to ever get some of my pants to thrive in my dark home which gets pretty cold in the winter. What do y'all think?

Adafruit has some really cool ones that you can get just to make things a bit easier. Just need to search for plant sensor or similar wording.
