Didn't give you guys a weekly update this last weekend so I just took a few pictures for you guys. What would you guys guess my chop day is and any more wild guesses on yield? Last time you guys were saying 4-7 ounces which seems too generous unfortunately :( maybe 3? pH meter for scale

That is a might purty looking plant, bet you're looking forward to the harvest.

I am looking online for a pH pen at the moment, and they seem to be around £15 for one like yours, or £45 for a top end one. There is nothing in the middle. How accurate do you find your's?? I'm guessing from the look of your plants it's pretty good?

That looks lovely. Did you keep it upright like that through the whole grow? Looks like you have nice full growth all the way down. And some fat kolas..

Well looking at his makes me feel better, I have the same one.
Quick review from me. Instructions were obviously in japanese and seem that they were translated by a 2nd grader. Works out of the box, just need to calibrate it. They give 2 solutions to mix and calibrate, I should have put each in a bottle and saved it to use for calibration daily because you will need to adjust it now and then. I use ZH distilled water (7.0) and coke (4.0) to calibrate it prior to every use. When you first put it in water it reads 8.5, shake it around & it drops, then I put it in the coke and it drops to 4.0, back in the water, repeat until they both read correctly.

Overall if on a budget and need a ph meter it will work, however it is just something to get me through until I can afford a better one.

Bent my two tallest today, more even canopy now. Gave them a light nute mix. Pics in my journal, link below....

Yeah but that's the best part of buying cheap electronics and stuff. I bought a plastic pellet gun about 15 years ago, and still distinctly remember reading "Do not point at the peculiar animal"

Thanks for the input, I may just wait a little while longer and get a more expensive one when I get paid at the end of the week, save me upgrading later...I'm sick of always fucking having to upgrade later :)

Oh, and does the coke not mess it up?...i'm guessing not
No, I do all my mixing by the sink, after every test i goes under the sink and is then dried with a clean paper towel. Leaving a little coke on it and putting it in distilled would skew the reading, at least thats what I think lol...

But its best to clean the tester before each test to be sure its an accurate read..

And I would wait if it was just a week, i had a month or so and needed one so I got it for like 12 bucks.
Dont get me wrong, it works, an obviously from broseidons pics it works perfectly well for what we need.. Just would feel better with a better quality one. Like you i hate upgrading later..

I forget the wording, but it was similar to that... I have a box of 2" drywall screws that has a label on the side that says "do not eat" LMAO, there are actually people so dumb that they need to be told that....

Spider Mites are back. Fuckers!!

Remember that film "Inner Space", where the guy gets shrunk down and in injected into Dennis Quaid's body? Well that's what I want done to me. Shrink me and my Tonfas (night sticks), and then place me in my tent...it'd be a blood bath!!!

Unfortunatily I don't currently have access to that sort of technology, so In the meantime, I have ordered a No Pest strip, cos I hear they really really work.

LOL @ hettyman

@ The2TimEr, that is very nice looking.. Any supplemental lighting, and it looks as though you trimmed alot of you fan leaves, if so do you find it better?
