I really do hope that it becomes much more of a second nature thing. Laugh if you will, but I’m still trying to figure out the next “feeding” these gals are gonna get and how to adjust ppm when I dont know WHICH nutrient the plant is comsuming. (Yeah, newbies suck, I know ;-) )

that is a valid concern....
nothing newbie about it.....I have known people that have been growing for years switch to say hydro and are completely lost

Yay!!! Got my blue lab ppm and ph meters. Wow - that box is daunting. Guess its time to sit down and read all the directions before I do anything. (I did see I have to “hydrate” the ph pen for 24 hours first?!?! :wall::wall::wall: ... ugh ... oh well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

if you are gonna do dwc you'll have to rely heavily on those meters , both when mixing nutrients & monitoring your ph. as well as your nutrient uptake between feedings , bluelab makes good meters
I know ... quality! Its one of the reasons I went with the Blue Lab pens - really good reviews all around and here too. No point in skimping on the thing that will help me keep my babies happy!

Mephisto Genetics re-opened their store ... woooohooo!!! I’m thinking of adding some Double Grape and some Sour Livers to my little collection of seeds. Thoughts? Suggestions for another of their strains instead?
I dont get caught up in the seed craze. My advice would be, figure out a way, some how some way, to get you a certified cut of GG4, and spend a year trying to grow it better and better each time.. You will remember certain things from the last one and you be on guard for things you remember, and that alone will give you that experience to move forward even if you never got another lick of help..

I'm one of those people that enjoy the grow as much as the harvest I have 2 tents (3x3) this is large as I'm gonna get I've never grown an auto but hear mephisto autos are about the best but gotta agree about cloning if you get time click on this link www.kingklonebrand.com I have two of their strains blackjack & candyland their nice but more important than finding the holy grail is to just enjoy what you've got & share the experience

I noticed this morning that the water level on the indicator tubes for both was down about 3/4” ... should I top off with plain distilled water ... distilled water that has had nutes added ... ot just wait until Saturday to change out with a fresh solutionnof nutes for both? And if I do a full change out on he water Saturday, should I increase the nute solution for seedlings from 1/4 strength to maybe 1/2 strength?

Not accessible ... yet ...

That and I dont know anyone else who grows
It’s not that accessible here either unless you know people lol. Also nothing wrong with an auto, like I said I’m picky and have had one or two plants that were ok (out of like 60-70 lol), again picky. I have also seen a few epic auto grows that were topped, just never happened for me. Do you refer to this training anywhere else Homie? Curious to see what you do. Perhaps start a thread ;).

Well of course they are lost, I was and I’ve grown some epic fields over 40+ years. I expected death at every turn lol. Mind you I didn’t go on forums like these for a few years, all reading. I did soon learn that it’s easy to love em to death though, less is best when starting out, would be my number one offering.

I will and yes there is documentation on a thread of over a 1000 pages on another site but i neither have anything to do with that site nor do i want to promote that site. I will show you with my own clones which are almost ready to come out the aerocloner...
