What I gather is the full countdown allows any un-dissolved powder to settle before it takes the reading.
I've never watched their videos - actually I didn't know they made any. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently from "the Hanna way"? Could you explain? The method I use is one that is very common with the "purists" (lol) on Reef Central and Reef2Reef, and supposedly the proper way to do it.

I never get undissolved powder, so I'm not sure what's up with that. However, the countdown is for color development.

I also watched a video they did not use this method either.
How did you get this method for testing mindy?
See above. What am I doing different?
