Anybody ? I can upload some non zip formatted pics if you're tentative to open the file.

Not sure what's going on with my girls, but I suspect it's the water they've been getting. I got sick of lugging 5 gallon jugs to the store every three days to water my plants. I switched up and started using water from my tap, after running it through a small boy sediment/carbon filter from my...

Most of my reason is advice from the grow store, and charts like this http://www.420magazine.com/forums/indoor-soil-cultivation/114733-ph-nutrient-uptake-charts.html At anywhere over 6.5 you're looking at Iron and Manganese def's

I don't personally use any nutrients until 2nd week of flower or so, you're girls will speak to you if they need it, but if you're a novice grower, the best advice on nutrients is more is less.

We can all at least agree she gets extra style points for matching her hijab with her lab gear.

I love that you approached this in such a kind way, and seem genuinely interested in helping me maximize my grow. That being said, you should do a side by side. 2 rooms identical conditions, one utilizing crystals, and the other not, and take data from that.

Wait what the fuck? My tap comes in around 7.2 and I need to maintain about 6.0 PH, also I'll add nutrients that aren't ph'ed. I'm not some elitist grower, I've just seen my plants experience deficiencies due to them being outside of the optimal PH range.

Think I'm going to give this a go! Thanks for everyone stopping by, seems like the general consensus is there aren't any infallible ph meters, and monitoring ph is going to be a mega bitch.

Can you link me to the "proof" that they do in-fact hold energy? I'd certainly be interested in seeing a study on this.

Gotchya, do you use anything for electrode storage? Do you need to calibrate often?

Still 100% vital to a successful grow.

While fox farms ocean forest (my preferred soil) is buffered, it is still important to PH the water, as ultimately the soil will adapt the ph of the water running through it.

The sequence is something along the lines of 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and so on. It is made by adding the previous two numbers together to make the next. It is seen frequently in nature, in flower petals etc. seems to be evolutionarily favored, however the application to growing seems a...

That's what I linked originally in my post as the one I'm considering. 160 is a bit pricey, however I've read the electrode on these is also prone to failure. Do you have experience with these?

Looking forward to hearing back from you!
