Just did a “slurry test” of the soil with distilled (ph’d 7.1) water, about 2in down from the surface in two diff spots. So I’m reading dead on at 6.0 for the top of the soil. I know halfway down and toward the bottom might be different but this would be a general idea. I added dolomite lime...

My wedding cake auto, straw pie (both 21days old today), and green crack seedling (maybe 10 days) have these brown/yellowish spots on the lower leaves. The first pics of the wedding cake at first i thought it was drips of nutes on the leaves that just burned them a bit. The plant has been...

1000 watts from the wall??? Damn I was around 380!!! I pulled 5.7oz from two short plants you’re going to clean up!!!

Looking beautiful mate!! My first run was CFL as well. How many watts you using for flower?

Haha ok thanks man. Yeah I was just planning 6 autos in the 4x4 and currently only have 3. I use to have a 2x2x4 and now I’m in a 4x4 and just excited about all the room I think :mrgreen:

Ah ok cool will do! I just always see people’s lights at like 24” and stuff and mine are maxed out in my tent lmao so I was thinking my plants were being littles wusses hahaha...patience. Got it.

Running 3 different autos and the node spacing and everything is VERY tight lol. They’re about to hit 21 days. I have the 400 watts of light 38in from the canopy and dialed to 80%. Around 375 PAR. They can’t handle any more light than that currently My question is, If I dial the lights...

Plants still can’t handle 100% power. Jesus lol. Got some slight leaf burn trying to push it but nothing crazy. Dialed it back to 80% Temps and humidity have been pretty solid. They seem to be growing pretty well and decently quickly but I still can’t get them “praying toward the lights”. I...

Who said it wasn’t working. They seem very happy so far ha.

In a Coco/Peat mix

Ahhh ok thanks guys sorry I know I should just be looking all this up, lot going on lately lol. If it should read near zero and the aloe doesn’t effect it much then that makes perfect sense. I’ll try and get some trial and error stuff going this weekend to get use to what it can and can’t...

Haven’t tested anything with it yet. No time but I did fillet an aloe plant and blend and dilute it with a gallon of distilled water. The Meter read the tap water at 150 but read the aloe water at zero or no reading. Don’t understand this thing at all lmao

Day 17 evening Watering day Sliced off an aloe branch, filleted it, chopped up the skin and blended it in the vitamix with 2 cups of water. Diluted it in 2 gallons of distilled water and PH’d to 6.6. Gave the first watering to runoff. Maybe 5-10%. Hopefully they can take the medium being that...

I don’t know maybe it will work. I don’t know how much of the dry amendments will break down into the water or how that really works with reading it. If it doesn’t dissolve that would cause issues in the reading no?

https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/manufacturers-ppm-scale-info.94758/ Solid info - Blue Lab uses the 500 scale so I guess I’ll use that. And I use organic dry amendments as my nutes which I won’t measure the EC of. I basically got it for checking the other stuff I add and for the learning...

Gunna have to watch that at home the audio is absolutely awful paired with my phone lmao

Ok cool and yeah I’ve been rinsing it well with clean tap before storing it. Should I just grab a small jug of RO water and see if it tests with a blinking light at 100 or something like that. Which would mean 50 or lower I’d guess. If it even works like that ha

I’ll have to pick a scale I forgot about all that. Also it says calibrated from factory do these usually need calibrating or can I go for a couple months beforehand. If it needs it I’ll for sure grab it but just checking ha.

Picked up a blue lab yesterday and finally getting into testing my solutions etc. Using distilled water I mixed Cal/Mag+, Fish shit, Natures seaweed/kelp, molasses, and Humic/fulvic acid. They’re not full doses per gallon maybe half. I thought the solution was going to be HIGH, like 800 or...

Day 17 69-71 degrees/60% RH Girls are starting to take off after what seemed like a slow, root building start. Spilled some nute mix on one of the leaves and it made a couple spots but all the new growth is lovely and all three seems to be doing well. They seem to have not been bothered by the...
