    Dehumidifier not working :/

    Hi I've always had really high RH leading to lots of bud rot. So I invested ina dehumidifier, this one to be exact: https://www.delonghi.com/en-int/products/comfort/air-treatment/dehumidifiers/tasciugo-ariadry-compact-dds-20 I got this 2nd hand in good condition, I believe its a decent bit of...

    Check my trichs please...?

    Hiya Ive never managed to find the right kit to scope my trichs properly - discovered to my immense amazement my phone camera (48MP) zoomed in works a treat. But cos ive never really seen them properly im not sure...these look more clear than cloudy, what do you think? Whole plant Buds If...

    Mixed RH readings - which should i trust?

    Appreciate the replies guys cheers! Still getting the analogue 50% humidifier 30%. The analogue has been checked with the salt method that seems to be accurate. Dammit this shouldn't be a problem!!

    Mixed RH readings - which should i trust?

    Hmmmm. The analogue has been in the bag with salt slurry about 5 hours and its reading bang on 75% which is what it should say. I cant believe my humidifier is 20% out...?

    Mixed RH readings - which should i trust?

    Ok thanks. Yeah I read about the salt paste check method, I won't be able to put the dehumidifier in a zip lock bag but I can check the analogue one. Put a 3rd one in there, another digital one i had, that agrees with the humidifier at 32%, analogue reading 50% so its maybe thats the one that is...

    Mixed RH readings - which should i trust?

    Hi I have an analogue thermo/hygrometer, which i bought because i didnt trust the cheap digital ones. Got a dehumidifier last week. They both agree temps are 24°, however for RH the analogue is giving me 50%, my dehumidifier is telling me 32%. Quite a difference. Which of these two is more...

    Skint newbie on a budget in search of good advice.

    How big is your grow space? I'm an auto grower, I use a basic quantum board 135w and pull around 160g. So yield can be good, but I'd say take the given time (normally 90 days ish) with a pinch of salt...add on another 2 weeks. Good luck man!

    PPM meter hassles

    The chart on the calibration solution i assume that's there for a reason? Like is says at 20° umols should be 1278, mine was 1400 at 20°...thats not right. The guy in the growshop said yeah don't worry about that...is that good advice?

    PPM meter hassles

    Thanks. They are buggered. Ive just sat with a pot of cal sol, tap water i know is 190ppm, and some of my rez water and readings were absolutely all over the place nothing reading the same twice despite multiple calibrations. Its just weird both of them doing the same thing, that suggests human...

    PPM meter hassles

    Yeah i was, and it was pretty skanky. And i hadnt been rinsing probes after use. Both of which point to my probes being filthy, seems like a very possible explanation. Ill soak them overnight in KCI. Cheers!

    PPM meter hassles

    Thanks for replies. I think its something to do with this feckin' conversion BS. Never heard anything about this until a few weeks ago, thought 1ppm is 1ppm like 1g is 1g...seems not. As usual i was being a cheap ass and reusing calibration solution, that wasnt helping but i have 4 x 250ml...

    PPM meter hassles

    Hiya I have 2 pens - an Adwa ad31 and a Milwaukee ec59, both costing around €50, not top notch gear but should be good enough. Every day i check with my 1413 calibration solution, both are always out by as much as 200. I calibrate, turn off/on, check again, they are always both out by less...

    I NEED TO STOP VERTICAL GROWTH

    I only grow autos, about 5 so far, none of them would have fit in a 4ft tent. My current one, a Jack Herer auto is very light sensitive, my QB is right at the top of my 180cm tent. Just being realistic here, autos in a 4ft tent, can't see it myself. I'd either buy a new tent or look at some of...

    N in flower?

    Ok thanks guys. The Canna Veg is 5:3:8, Flora 5:2:7, so both seem like that should be enough N, and i wouldnt be giving her more N if i went back to veg nutes...she's been a funny feeder, up until 2 weeks ago she didnt like anything over 600, its at 1200 now and if that stays stable im gonna...
