Well yesterday after feeding 20 mils total of Cal-Mag I forgot to check PPM because I was fighting with the pH pen. Today I checked and it was a dramatic 843, sheesh running risks of nutrient burn is always fun... Well I started to distill 8,5 liters of water to dilute the reservoir mixture to a...

Mission Report Well the pH pen WORKS!!! I got an accurate reading of pH at 6,5 so I gave the res a little pH down, the PPM is at 640 right now but that might be because I've held back from leveling the water the girls drink since last change there was two liters or so too much and I want a...

Well this is the Cal-mag additive I got, along with the pH pen that either has dead batteries with it or thing's busted. I'm going to buy fresh batteries today and test it out, if it doesn't I'll need to ship it back and ask for a replacement.

Mission report. Yesterday I switched out the reservoir water with distilled water and made the feed into 650ish PPM, today that PPM is 625 so I imagine the plants are eating something... I gotta say that the plants look better than ever before, no signs of nutrient deficiencies or anything. Oh...

again I must ask, what do you mean specifically in terms of what percentage to what? Top off the reservoir or something along those lines?

723 PPM, last count was 790 PPM yesterday

Metric, with the rule of tens that doesn't cause my feeble humanoid mind to melt

O WAIT

Thank you, my brain and ego can stop from destroying themselves

Again I must stress the fact that I've lived my whole life by the metric system. Ounce or part has a specific amount in the US and UK.

OH the best part about the accident?? The tear happened with the topped branch ATTACHED to the main cola! Yeah excuse me while I scream-cry into a pillow... My anxiety just exploded. But thus far? The leaves on the branch that were affected haven't drooped or anything, I'm hoping this is a case...

I'm European and don't understand non-metric, what is a part??

RRREEEEE I HOPE MY PLANT SURVIVES!!!

Perhaps, upon the next reservoir change tomorrow I will use distilled water since that only means I'll have to buy an electric water boiler. But for today, I'll be shitting my pants as I hope the LST plant's stem will survive...

FFFF- An accident occurred, I was training the LST plant to better utilise the newer grow sites and one of the original stems from the topping got torn a tad... I applied clear tape and yarn to hold it together at the original LST pull point like one guide way back told me to do so, hopefully...

Well I'm going to see about that tomorrow, since it's a matter of micro nutes I'll make the foliar feed separately with the micro maybe at 100 or perhaps a little less but add a full brunt 50 epsom, foliar feeding is surprisingly effective so I'll spritz the plants around 3 times a day at first...

Well, once I get a meter I'm going to use that until the damn thing rots to subatomic particles and get a new one. I hate checking pH like this... The rough numbers are just bad craftsmanship. Any thoughts on practicing foliar feeding with the reservoir fluid until I get the cal-mag additive?

Here, this is probably the greatest problem maker. Not exactly accurate to a decent range I imagine

I just assumed that the pH changed from changing 10 liters of res water. It's just an hour till lights out, should I adjust the pH at this point at all or leave it like that until the morning?

Okay, I managed to switch out 10 liters with a manual pump and got the PPM level down to 790. The PPM level itself didn't change that much from yesterday, but the girls are drinking water since I have to top off the reservoir every couple of days. After the 10 liter switch of clean water the pH...
