Sorry Hydro,
It did piss me off. I just came off a long hard week and my scottish temper came out.This is the second forum I've ever posted on, the other is for fishing. Don't like big brother checking me out. Not paranoid but stating a fact. All internet chatter in basically routed through three companies. Ninety percent goes through Level 3 communications in Col. The state I live in joined the matrix program and hired an ex-druglord to run it. Thanks George Bush! Used to live the easy rider life and learned to be careful. Used to hang with some rough hombres. Never really let go of the late sixties, early seventies lifestyle. Maybe I should have introduced myself. I'm an old hippie, take used computers in on trade fix them and give them to needy families, build beautiful handcrafted windchimes and give to friends and the elderly, no charge to the elderly or churches for computer repair, make handcrafted lures for crappie and walleye fishermen (some musky) airbrushed or powder painted. Killer lures! All at no charge except to have some enjoyment in life. Plus work a full time job. This is probably not the forum for this but there it is. If I have two I'll give you one or share what I have. I sell nothing. I tinker and fish to RELAX. Earl, when I am allowed to PM I may take you up on your offer. Thanks again.
Peace Brother

It's cool, I shouldn't have came off like such an ass. So u just like to tinker and make shit, I can dig that. I think it is cool that u do all that stuff for people, and for no charge! U seem like a real nice guy so Im sorry for being a dick. Now lets get this thread back on track. If u want good seeds, there are ways to get them off the record. I could link u to a good site or two, and a post that shows you how to pay for them w/o putting your name in a paper trail... Let me know.

Thanks Earl... Also, I just got the SM101 Ph meter and so far so good. Can I just leave it in the rez? or is it better if it is cleaned and stored after use?

__________________

I leave mine in the rez,
except during my flush,
when I remove the probe
to prevent it being in RO
until I add the nutes.

Moving your probe around,
will cause it to loose calibration.

Try not to bang your probe on anything.

If you have two probes, like tds and pH,
they should be at least three inches apart in your rez,
or the readings may be affected.

I recommend calibrating your meter at least once a month.

When I pull the probe to flush the rez,
I put it in a vial of cal fluid 4.01
while I do my nute changes.

Sometimes I do a quick calibration while I fill my rez.

Most times the meter is right on,
and when it wasn't,
it was because it was time to replace the probe.

I get one and a half grows from a probe.

As soon as they get slow, I pitch them in the trash.

Budget $50-70 per grow, for meters and probes.

I have unknowingly trusted a faulty probe,
and the result was not a happy plant.

Now I use two meters,
to cross check against one failing.

The slightest disagreement, and both meters get calibrated and evaluated.

I also keep a spare probe,
which only has a 12-18 month shelf life.

When you have a one thousand dollar plant's life depending on your meter,
you tend to not sweat the $50 for a spare probe.

Nice job guru Earl. Always read yours [post. Respect bro

[quote=Earl;1062064]I leave mine in the rez......quote]

Cool, thanks for the tips!!! Not only do u know how to grow, u take it to the next level, that shit is great to know.

I have a little problem with my new RO filter, it's throwing out 1 gal per hour, it is a 100 gpd machine. It has a flow restrictor and the company says to set it at 3 to 1 with a new membrane, and although at 3-1 it pushes out the most RO, it only pushes out 1gph. Do u think it needs to be broken in or maybe u have a tip?? or should I contact the manufacturer?

All of the 100 gallon per day units on eBay
will give you 110 gallons per day
if you have water at about 80 degrees and 100 PSI
most homes are about 60 PSI with 60 degree water,
so you can expect less performance.

You may need to put a pressure gauge
on your water line to see
what kind of water pressure you have.

I think you need 60psi min.

If you don't have 60 psi,
then you may need a booster pump.

Check out RV pumps,
as they are "on Demand" type pumps.
