With the blue lid it’s gonna be really hot in the chamber, covering with reflective material may helpI thought this too.
If the res is the same as the room.
So i snuck the temps in there.
You're a better man than I mate.
You had the heart to tell her
I love dtw.
. Still thinking of switching though, getting bored lol
thats why growing is what it is, soooo many different techniques to try and buds to grow. endless fun and you never stop learning.....Yup it can be daunting lol. I was going to switch to DTW but built a chiller instead
Exactly. Touche'
True that, been doing this a long time and know shit
LolTrue that, been doing this a long time and know shit
been doing it for 10 years and know a few things but learning more always and getting better is what i live for.True that, been doing this a long time and know shit
Me too. I don’t spend near as much time testing ph since I went to drops. Big bottle is cheap and lasts a long time. No calibration no weak batteries giving bad readings and no waiting for it to stop moving. I shoot for a dark pee color.
Well if you take care of your equipment, it will reward you with better grow and yield. Eyeballing your ph is pretty much a guessing game. There's a huge difference between ph 5 and ph 5.5
I ph to about 5.8
No shit. A big difference in color between 5 and 5.5. If someone can’t tell the difference between orange and dark yellow they need there eyes checked.
I just ordered the strips but regarding pens, after spending lots of money in blue lab, Hanna and others I’ve started to buy the cheaper ones and honestly I’ve had just as good of luck with them. It is a bit of hit and miss though and I treat em like I stole em lol. I just plunk them in water and calibrate every week but they do hold pretty steady

The more I learn about it, the more I understand how little I actually understand the big picture.True that, been doing this a long time and know shit
It doesn't hurt for the ph to drift around. If you are in the ballpark and it drifts around the ballpark it's all good. Yellow or green is all good. Orange, red or blue, not good.
Man you're good, you can tell the shade between yellow and orange. Me, I have a hard time telling the difference between yellow and dark yellow. As far as I know ph strip at yellow that means between 4.5 and 5.5, light yellow 5.5 and 6.5. Not gonna risk hitting my ph below 5 with strips.
If your pen is not calibrating with the ph solution then obviously there's something wrong with the ph pen. Could mean your battery is getting weaker or your pen itself is messed up. Calibrating solution is there for a reason unless you're using some DIY solution.
