HAVE NOT SEEN WEATHER LIKE THIS SINCE I LIVED IN OKLAHOMA!!!!! MIGHTY OAKS BENDING SIDEWAYS, I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA SEE TOTO GO FLYING BY OR AT LEAST SOME FLYING MONKEYS!!!!

I THINK IT IS about passed, Im sure my plants i left outside are completely wiped out, I have no doubt in my mind, but Im not going out there until radar shows its clear.... man it got quiet QUICK!!!

Ahhh, somewhere I was reading about someone who harvested, and did a h20 wash then freeze for a sample... I dunno, theres so many methods on this site. So you freeze for long term srtorage after a solid cure? That makes sense, I have heard both fridge and freezer methods. I usually only grow enough to smoke and give away for about a year, so I just use the boveda packs for long term.

I pulled my stash from the last 4 seasons last fall. Town got dry. Tasted the same if not better than I remember. Need to restock the cupboards for winter.

Once again, I am humbled by the force that is mother nature. It's not a total loss, and certainly a huge disappointment for this here farmer.

I really wish I could work and help take marijuana down.. I would honestly help, as I bet it would be fun and an amazing experience.. To get to experience different strains and smell the difference.. To understand what is a better way to trim or what provides a better smoke.. Seems so worth it and enjoyable.. I have had everyone eat veggies I have grown and it is so rewarding

I have a ph meter.. Is this one fine?View attachment 4707049

looks similar to the one I tossed. I found if I didn't store it properly it gave me wildly different results. before I tossed it was reading my tap water at 3.5 so yea it depends on how the user keeps the equipment better ph meters usually come with storage solutions

I agree. There is something so satisfying about picking your own homegrown veggies and eating them straight from your own garden! And to share it with others is rewarding, to say the least. I have tomatoes, dill, and scotch bonnet peppers still coming in! I'd love to try something from your garden.

I just use cheap strips sometimes the more expensive ones are 100 strips for 12$ and they test in .5 increments. seems easier then replacing digital pens. to each their own

I’ve never checked PH, if your not using any bottled nutes you don’t need to. The PH is buffered in the rizosphere around the root zone.

Only if you want to perp. My $6 is within 50PPM of my $159 meter. Keep it clean and calibrated. PH is a wide range of acceptable in soil. Just need a close number. And they are easy to calibrate for cheap. Watch out for the look at me and my price tag people. It's false. Only like my meter for it's easier reading. LOL.

its always better to know...not all feed is ph stable(i just shelfed my advanced nutes ph perfect line because low and behold the issue was clear the buffers only work with the recommended amounts and those ppms were burning my girls in soil) , I recently switched to mega crop and still ph the water going in, just my .02

I agree with you in that case because your using bottled nutrients. Thats why I said if your not using bottled nutrients you dont need to worry about it. Dry amendments and composts only the PH will buffer itself even if your water source is high or low.

what if your feed water is high ph of 8 or 9 (common city water ph)will the ammendments lower the ph?
