They swapped out my old one for a new one when they tested it no questions asked. New one reads perfect in the calibration solution for 500ppm, 700ppm, and EC
The man stem is spiraled around the pot as you can see in the first picture. Then when everything started growing up from it i pulled everything down as seen in the second pictures. I have all so be topping to keep everything level
2.4ec not ppm.
I have no idea why my EC is so high either. I do water with 20% run off every feed. I feed the two smaller girls ever 3 day they in gallon pots and the large mom ever 5 days as she is in a 5 gallon smart pot.
Brand new ppm meter.
RO water at 6.5ph
6ml calmag
12ml pbp grow
6ml silica
6ml liquid karma
2ml Hydroguard
2ml rhyzo blast
2.4 ppm
4.2ph
Ph'd to 6.4 and just watered
Just ppm'd the run off
My larger girl 5.4ec
My smaller girl 6.2ec
It's always a long road and you will always learn. I'm still brand new to this. All I do is read and read and read. Good luck with your grown. Just remeber your next ones will always get better and better
My boy that gave me my LSD has been doing it for about a year and 2 months. He is running 2 4x8 and 2 5x9 flowering the 4x8 one month and the 5x9 the next doing SOG the whole time. That's why I want to do my first grow like his bc i have seen him do it.
My 4x8 can hold 72 one gallon pots. My pots a 7.5"x7.5" square. So that fills the tent with a little room to spare. When I say veg I'm including the week and couple days of rooting in the humidity tray. So week and a half in humidy try and week and a half in veg. Then switching to flower.
Watering twice a day is a no no. Over watering is not about how much water you give them but how many times you give them water. Like asked above is there holes in the bottom of your solo cups if not you need them. Second off when you water you want 10% run off atleast you only need to water...
Yea i cant wait to get my first grow going. Just waiting on these clones to root. Going to transplant them into one gallons. Veg for 2 to 3 weeks then going to flower. Hoping to run 72 plants my next run doing SOG. Would of done it this time but didn't have enough growth for that many clones.
