Yeah the Apera would be my option after Bluelab. My only issue with the BL is that its SLOW...mine takes minutes to get down to the 4.8 or so my feed is before I start adjusting it. Seems accurate though. I wouldn't mess with the powdered solutions... I used the bottled stuff...

You showed 'em who was boss!

Smells like hay is a good tip off that it either isn't dried enough or dried properly. That sounds like chlorophyll hasn't broken down yet.

I usually put about 4-5 drops in the little reservoir in the Bluelab meter. I don't let the little sponge ever dry out but the bit that fits around the bulb seems to seal, so you don't need too much more than that.

I think you could aim a bit warmer for the roots. What is your water pH, and what is it's EC?

Cool. Is your bluelab calibrated correctly with both 7.0 and 4.0 fluid (aka has the pH mark in the lower right corner of the screen with a check mark). What is your pH reading? What is the EC of the water you're using. What temperature is the water you're using? Is the floor you're sitting...

Note that the OP hasn't posted enough of the details of his grow in a meaningful sense, even when asked a few times. There's no help if people don't have the info about what he's doing to be able to figure it out. I even when through both of his grow journal posts to see if there were details...

Note that you still haven't provided more information to figure out where things are going wrong. ;)

I sincerely apologize if your intent wasn't to troll, but I can't see how this reply can be seen in any other way than assholish, even upon re-reading the interaction. ...Since we both know who the OP is, and we're both trying to help him, and we both know that he's not watering effectively...

I forgot you're a troll for a moment... Ignored.

Yep. In cups I watered until they started dripping out the bottom, then didn't re-water until they were light and dry. That could be every 3 or 4 days depending. Now I seed into bigger containers (.75g), start with the soil thoroughly moist before dropping the seeds in and then the first week...

Ok, you're doomed to keep killing seedlings no matter how many seeds unless you figure out how you're killing them. No one here can help you unless you provide more information about your grow. We know that some of you baseline environment conditions aren't good. Seedlings are much happier at...

1) don't plant multiple seeds in the same cup. One seed per cup. 2) don't transplant seeds from one cup to another. Start in those solos and keep them there until they're ready for their big-girl pots. 3) Your temps look too low. Look for your lights-on temps with LEDs to be in the low to mid...

The first time I really could 'latch' on to something like that was when I grew Tangerine Dream. Most of the 'smells like blah blah blah' stuff doesn't mean much to me and I don't have the olfactory sensitivity for a lot of nuance (lots of sinus damage (natural not substance related) & sinus...

High EC well water can often lock-out other nutrients, causing deficiencies. IIRC, FFOF loses its 'charge' by about 4 weeks into flower (which also tends to be a challenging time no matter what as the plants really have switched into their 'flowering needs' for nutrients by then. So this may be...

I like the taste of malt and any residual nuance that different yeast strains bring to the table. While I appreciate that there's so many options and many local/regional small guys in the mix would be great to see people mining other styles of ales and lagers and return some balance to beer...

I've only ever had fungus gnats in my grow, and that stopped when I moved from soil to Promix HP. Once I did that, I've never had another issue. I'd also: -Never bring plants in from outside (or if you do, quarantine them in an entirely different area of your house/property until you're sure...

I think hop growing culture and weed growing culture are pretty different from each other. For instance, hops are usually an ingredient rather than the 'end goal product' and for centuries beer was a fairly staid & traditional practice rather than randos trying to crossbreed to find a unicorn. I...

That little weed is trying to convince you that you CAN grow things, no matter how bad that cannabis really looks. ;) It's your one little cheering squad. But serious talk, what the heck are you doing there. It looks awful. What are the details on your process here.

Very true. I have 'chocolate mint', 'lemon mint,' 'orange mint,' spearmint, peppermint and a few others all growing in my yard. And there's a bunch of hop varieties used in various combinations in beer...one of my problems with the current brew scene is that people got way into over-hopping and...
