You're in luck! I just burned one and have coffee handy
FWIW - I have ditched the "journal" and for the most part the schedules. I realized I was tracking and worrying about things that I won't go back and check later. After the good and the bad so far here's what I have whittled it down to
What week is it of veg or flower? Sched's were messing me up because of the fact that plants don't follow it. I was using the schedules like a checklist. Wasn't an issue until I did small pots, and was about ready to start hitting a plant with her late bloom PK booster when I realized she didn't even have brown pistils yet. SO knowing the stage of growth - especially in flower - is key. Most of the schedules show a progression of nutes in flower. shifting away from the N and towards the PK. If the schedule has a noticeable change in it, that transition is supposed to be for a plant transition. Here's how I got that.
Fox Farms flower crystals are set up in 3 parts, and used at different stages of growth. Comparing the schedule to the intent, it works like this (for me)
Open Sesame (step one) - is from the first pre-flip feed until week 2 of flower - which is about when pistils pop
Beasty Bloomz (step two) - is for the next 3 weeks - which is about how long it takes to get brown pistils
Cha-Ching is the last one and goes to the end.
Most of the other nutes are similar so find THAT then apply it to your plants. I now use my interpretation instead of "week 5", but knowing that my plant is in week 5 of flower I still base most of the feeding off of that week of the schedule instead of getting mixed up with checklists and feeding week 6 during week 4 because the plants dried out quicker.

Makes sense - why would you need a "journal"
I think that is why I like soil though. Lights come on I 'weigh' the pot. If it's light I do whatever is next (feed or water). Still heavy I check it again before lights out. It helps keep track of how a fast a plant is eating and what adjustments you might need to make to the "schedule" - or "plan A" as I like to call it

That's what I gathered reading about it - didn't sound like my bag of donuts.

Yeah the watering frequency is why so many folks use auto feed systems on their coco. Some use drippers, I think some people will flood and drain it.

Yep for sure. I am in the process of trying to make things easier
I have 3 flood tables, all 4` long. Eventually each table will be used as ebb and flow and filled with clones. For now tho, during the search for moms, ive chosen to grow in Coco
i will run drain to waste of some sort for the coco , whether it be drip or just continue hand watering, just having the waste runoff to floor drain will be a huge help.
I am also trying to make a reservoir today.
I bought a 30g tote, already have a small pump here and some hosing and a few fittings. If i can get a rez all fixed up and then get my tables connected to the plumbing, i will have much less work to do daily.
Need this CMH tent to finish up so i can have the space and put the new room all together. For now the Blueberries and chocolate have to stay in the 4x4.

Maybe you guys can lend a hand, do any of you know anything about these bluelab meters/moniters?
trying to buy one that sits in my rez and moniters temp/ph/ppm or ec
not sure what the difference in these 2 are, other than the price?

@Renfro mentioned these to men before, not sure if same or not.

Pricey, nothing but good reviews, but not really worth it if you dip it in a bucket every 3-4 days...
With your new situation it might be a wise investment.

Ya that's what I'm thinking. Once I'm running ebb and flow I'll also be running a much bigger Rez. So I think it will be a great investment for sure.
I figure I'll order one now and learn on the 30g Rez lol
So is there any difference between the $275 one or the $406? Other than price , what makes the 406 one better lol

"Also data logs the critical parameters to your computer for you..." is all I see at a glance. Probably paying for Bluetooth shit.
" 'The Cadillac of Meters'
The simplest Meter in it's class "
is the selling point for the cheap one.
