Ahh.. I must be missing the calibration solution. It def wasn't in the box. Am I screwed or what?

You do really need the calibration solution. Mine came with 2 different ones...a high ph and a low ph. If nothing else snatch some paper until you can get some solution ;)

You are not screwed, if you have a hydro store anywhere near you then pick these up.IMG-20120207-00247.jpg
You only need one of each, as you know i broke mine so i got these so that i can calibrate the new one coming. Just picked these pouches up at the hydro spot today.

Sup minz? I appreciate it. I can use the ph up/down kit for now. It's always something.

So has anyone used a organic microbe brew or molasses for root stimulation and/or prevention of root slime?

i believe for the prevention of any kind of root problems in your res you should use h2o2 a.k.a hydrogen peroxide.

but if you are gonna use the h2o2 it will kill the bacteria. So choose wisely and dont do anything that would be counter productive.

Thats what I gathered from that post. I didnt have any probs with my last grow either. Just want to make sure I know how to handle the issue if it arises.

Day 6-

Water temp: 67F
Ambient Temp: 70F
PPM: 110
PH: 6.2
No Nutes

Everything is looking good for now. The water level in the rez is almost to the rockwool. Once roots hit the water, I will reduce water level to obtain proper oxygen levels.

Looks like she is already stretching out a little.

Taproot is looking good

Installed training wire around perimeter of 5 gal rez

Added an extra air stone to the mix

Hydroton clay was soaked in ph correct water for several hours

Placed seedling approx. 1/3 from the bottom of the net pot and off center (for LST)

Covered her up so no light leaks in the rez.

I guess if run into an issue I will use H2O2 and see how that works. If it doesn't, I will resort to bene bacteria.
