I agree on the cheap PH meters- having gone through the same thing. 3 berries is very right in that there is no calcium or other components such as magnesium in it. I hesitated but will offer some info based on science that somehow I expect others to argue. the condensate water from a dehumidifier is distilled and quite corrosive so it absorbs many chemicals and metals and even stuff in the atmosphere like crazy. for example, if left in open air, even the CO2 from the air will lead to the PH dropping (CO2 leads to carbonic acid) in distilled water. I know people do it, but it can easily lead to issues depending on the plants watered and the soils you use. the distilled water can test at one ph and as soon as it gets in with whatever medium, in this case soil, it will effectively drop significantly as things are basically disolved to end up in the water. distilled water is actually quite corrosive and not buffered by "stuff" normally in water so it can change quickly and aggressively. i dont know what the metal from the coil (usually aluminum) will do to cannabis but pretty much guaranteed it will be there. as a side example of it's affect -when used in an aquarium, adding PH 8 distilled water actually can drop the ph of the aquarium by 2 or 3 easily depending on how much of it is added compared to the total volume of the tank.

Yeah. The general Hydroponics kit is great. I had cheap tester and it worked for a short time and then jumped all over in readings. It come with no instructions either. Go with the GH kit and make sure your water is 6.0 to 6.5 and make sure you read all the tutorials on GWE. That is the best source of info. Don't worry. It will probably grow out fine. Good Luck.

Get you some of this from Amazon

Im having some trouble with my grow. I got a cheap pH tester and I dont think it was working properly. I was giving my plants water from a dehumidifier and the pH tester was marking 6.5 and 7 but I read online that its 8 to 9. Maybe that would explain the burnt leaf tips that I am seeing now? I didnt over water or give too much nutrients and the leaves at the top are not showing signs of burnt ends like the ones below. Any idea how I can fix this? This is my first grow2 Photos

Harvest.... early morning, or evening?
Or if you're growing indoors, when the lights first come on, or when they've been on all day?

I take mine mostly before i flip from veg to flower because they are bigger side shoots. But you can take them anytime especially if you top it save that for a clone. I like them to be at least 4" but bigger is better helps with supporting the sprig i found.
