Ok. It is 6 days since I potted the clones in potting soil and here are some pics. They look like they want some N to me in the new leaves but the old leaves are showing some wierdness almost nute burn. I kinda expected this as the potting soil has some organic ferts from chicken manure ect (see previous post pic). It has been in the 50s during the nite and mostly overcast in the daytime so may be a little shock from the clone room. The soil still is a bit moist so I will check tomorrow and see if they are thursty yet.

The WC which have some pistles look the best, IMO.

Baby alert: I took a peek at the nursery and 2 hijack, one of each had popped: jack's suprise, jack the ripper, and CC/WC. Tonight at midnight will be 3 complete days so still have plenty of time for the rest to pop out. Here are some pics of the little ones in the nursery. Rapid rooters are doing well.

One more JTR (2 total) and one more Hijack (3 total) sprouted today in the nursery. Still early though so just chilling. Im putting the nursery outside in shaded sun for the day and bringing it in during the evening. Im going to check out some large pots for the potted plant section. I will let you know what I find.

Went to the hydro store to see if my Hanna Multimeter had arrived. It had and so I took it home to play with it. Now I am very familiar with water quality instruments since when I was younger we used these instruments to gauge water quality. Boy has technology passes me as if I was in the slow lane. My new multimeter reads Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in parts per million, electric conductivity (EC), pH, and temperature.

I unpacked it and plugged it in and read the instructions before I started pressing the buttons. What I blew over was the fact that both probes needed to be in the solution for it to work right.

After re-reading the instructions , I calibrated the instrument and took a reading on my tap water. Now I always thought our water was prety good but as the pictures show that is not the case for TDS. pH is ok at around 7.5, still on the high side for soil, but look at the TDS almost 400. TDS of the water would be a factor if I was going to use it to mix my nutes or use hydro, but I have RO and DI so its not an issue.

All four parameters are easily displayed and calibrated, once you read the instructions correctly, lol. This is also a continuous read meter so when I do aero/hydro it can sit in the nute solution and be mounted on the wall for easy measurements.

Not much is happening apart from another hijack seed sprouted out. Im going to have to plant those since they will be outgrowing the nursery soon.

Sweet meter.
How much ?

I've noticed that seeds that germinate after the 24 hr mark are usually prominently females, . How much did your reader cost?? I was looking at one similar to that one for 80 bucks..... I need to get one.... and you want your TDS to be around 50-100, and usually no more than 150. PH between 6.7-7.0 would probably be best for your soil, R/O and purified waters really help with that though... . Looking very nice congrats

Camping was great, Nuggs and I caught fish and just relaxed mostly. When I got home I found that my son took his momma's car out and sunk it into one of our lakes, then to make matters worse he yanked it out with a truck and chain. Hydro-locked the motor and tried to pull start it while towing, bent a rod and? Think I need another vacation.......

Sounds great, sorry to hear, and sounds like it

I got it for $135 from my local hydro guy, which is what it was on the net with free shipping. Thought I posted the site a few posts back. It is really easy to operate once I read the instructions twice, ok maybe 3 or 4 times.

I am lucky that I work with water quality meters at work and have the calib solutions at hand if I need them.

Thx TLD See my response to Earl on the cost. If you can get that meter for $80 go for it. $135 was the lowest I could find it for with free shipping. The hydro guy matched it. I even saw it on ebay for $130 plus shipping so Im good with what I payed.

Yea I now know what Earl was saying when he kept repeating "use RO." I always thought mine was lower than the people who posted there water was 400 TDS. Lucky I have RO and a DI unit from my aquarium days and growing orchids. I was going to shoot for a nute/ water pH of 6.5 and various TDS based on grow cycle. I was hoping my RO water was around 50 so I will test that tomorrow since I think I will need some nutes for the babies soon!
