Yes, the girls stink lovely. I’m super excited to see what I get from this grow.
Thanks I’m trying to do my best.:)

No problem looks like your on top of everything! What’s the outside climate of your grow like? And what do your temps usually run with those lights? Are you scrubbing air?

Day 12

Girls still doing ok

Raising ph tomorrow with tap water that’s neutral 7.0

Feedings with tap, ph with nutrients is around 6.0-6.5
Waterings with R.O 6.0-6.5

I’m hoping it’s enough cal-mag in the tap mixed with nutrients. If not I’ll try lime or epsom salt. This is probably why I had issues before thinking the ph was perfect because the bottle said so. Only testing run off after feeding.

My friend check out a pH meter!! (you will need one in flower anyway, it takes away the guesswork and stops damage before it starts) It's only 10-$15 for a yellow cheapie, or buy from Apera Meters for about 45 bucks and have the best..!

Rh high 60’s, temps around 78 ( it’s pretty cool in our house) Tent sits in the den and it’s hardwood flooring there.

Lights on it’s varying between 77-81, about to get a dehumidifier inside ( some kind of way) so I can raise the temp to 82 steady.
If I raise it now the humidity climbs.

Yes, I have a carbon filter and inline fan set-up top, the tent is 7 feet high so it has never been in pictures.

I actually like the solution better. I’m done correcting the Ph on all the girls and each reading was the same as the pic above.
I have one that reads soil ( cheap) it does ok. Trying to calibrate the pen can be mini task sometimes so I just use the solution instead. Thank you friend. :)

Probably over doing it with the pics lol. I can’t wait either, mostly just hoping for 1 purple colored plant . Bud porn on the way all day. :)

The pics are cool but what hooked me on this thread in the first place was your graphics, and then your obvious attention to detail. Really nice touch and I'm glad they caught my eye because your grow has sparked some great conversation. Looking good, I'm almost as stoked to see how they turn out as I am my own:weed:

.. yeah I have those drops too, I use Apera meters, think I've needed to calibrated this one maybe three or four times in the year I've had it, (my first Apera worked as well, but I broke it:cuss:) ..never been off more than .1 (and self-calibrating too)

LOL I don't work for them! I just hate calibrating meters as much as you that's why I use them! also pH gets a little more important as you going to flower but maybe the drops will work for you.. I've seen some use the test strips with good results too, looks great, good luck!

I have some test strips too. Lmao @ not working for them, I didn’t think you did. Every suggestion helps I just like to keep it as simple as possible & cost effective.
The drops are doing their job for now lol.

Does your carbon filter remove 100 percent of the smell? That’s not bad at all for around the tent, I’m in San Francisco area and it’s like 68 temp and varies on the day from fog for humidity, somedays I’m at 40 to 50 some days it’s 80 so my portable ac unit is also a dehumidifier I run that in the room , also helps move the air in room the tents are in, also have a air purifier and keep it running to ensure I don’t get mold mildew spores and to zap dust too , has been working great I usually collect a lot of dust and since I got that I’ve only dusted once in the whole house,

Not 100% because sometimes I smell it before I unzip the tent. I’m in Southern California, so I know wym about the humidity playing tricks on us. No fog just smog lol but lately we’ve been at 78 degrees. Humidity outside at 79 right now and it’s cloudy until 1:00.
I’ll look into a air purifier. I have a portable ac with dehumidifier inside the den but that’s not helping the humidity in the tent .
The last thing I wanna wake up to is mold .:sad:

Yeah I got one for like 80 bucks on amazon it does the job! It’s a uv c light and filter , yeah my carbon filter doesn’t do much unfortunately, I got it on amazon and I should have known better . Yeah the smog down there is heavy lol . Open the tent at night and throw in the dehumidifier, I open the tent and have it right outside of it and it helps out,
