What did you accomplish today?

I worked with the OC Fire Authority and all of the investigators wear guns.
Freaked me right out... and it's good to know they all do wear guns. I'm sure they need them at times. I really AM glad to see someone out enforcing Covid compliance's.

This is a college town and they are now having the campus police patrol the student neighborhoods and break up parties. The kids are more afraid of the campus police because they can not only arrest them, but get them removed from the school. But yeah, I predict things will be shut back down here before November 1st as not much social distancing is happening with the students.

I learned how sharp that is hard way when cutting the ceiling tile bars that I'm using for my scrog frame.

Is this your current grow? Looking super healthy! I'm like a week ahead of you on my hydro ones and just flipped them yesterday...Need to get my scrog up tonight.

Edited to say that must be an older grow...I forgot about your new room!! I'm still shaken!!

Are you still liking your PH meter? I need to break down and get a decent one.

I am way behind all you guys, meters for this meters for that soil air humidity, I wonder if there is a meter for rainbows sheesh
Depends what you are growing in and with, but a PH pen is a good tool to have, and almost a necessity if you are growing hydroponically. I have 3 cheapo $10 ones and you can get by with a cheap one, if you calibrate often....but it's a PITA.

Well considering I've been eating flaxseed for two days after buying these led lights, a cheap pen would be good, what's the make?

Signed up to get my SSI benefits, yeah I'd get more if I waited, however with the way things are going I just don't trust the "government" to not gut the program before I get my monies. I may not be here in 4 years anyway, who knows.
Pulled out the drip lines for the corn that was harvested so I can till and amend the dirt in garden #2. Garlic needs to be planted for the winter soon. Turnips grow really well here also.

Love the planting box, could you give me any info or links on that, looks perfect for what I am thinking.
It's 6x3x5 box that I designed and built with some help, not plans from the net unfortunately. I'm not sure I have the drawings I made, I'll see if I can dig them up for you.

Yup this is my current grow, I started three weeks ago. I have one critical + 2.0 and two reserva privada cole train. I read from a lot of reviews that the cole train loves lots of nutrients so I pushed it to 700ppm way too early and it's got some nitrogen toxicity. At last I'm pretty sure that's the problem. I brought it back down to 500 ppm and the clawing stopped. Critical is the lush one on the left.

I'm loving my apera pen compared to the two blue labs pens. My only complaint is when you go over 999ppm it switches to ppt and goes to 1.0 It took me a bit to understand what was happening but I'm okay with it now. Having it keep an electronic log for me instead of having to write it down is awesome.

I've had pretty good luck with this style. You may be able to find it cheaper.

Aren't those lens quite dear?
I've been using them for almost two years without having any root issues. They're made by general hydroponics for their waterfarm system.

Looks amazing thank you.
