My perpetual grow journal

When I'm in there I play music. Pretty sure the response I would get from singing to them would be death 😂

Smartphone ( well that's true too) SmartPOTS are washable too. My hydro guy just gave me a lecture about it. No soap, cool water and at a laundromat!
 
Hooray, cleaned my meter and changed the batteries and now it doesn't calibrate. Can't get a new probe until Monday 😖😩 I guess my trip to the "gardening" store will include more than just terpinator. I've been wanting two pH meters anyway
 
RosettaStoned From what I’ve learned about NTG NoTill Gardening is you don’t have to check pH. I haven’t checked mine evan once. Looking at your signature are you still running DWC with liquid nutes? As well as NTG

Haha if I kept this updated more you would know more about my operations. I feel like I post too much as it is.
Yes, I have dwc going still. I don't check the pH on any soil plants I have. I didn't start having problem until recently and I think that was being root bound. Before that they were just fine. I hope to get four NTG containers going and use 7 and 10 gallon fabric also. I'll probably grow mostly soil just because I don't have to rely on bottles....and I like playing in the dirt. I feel there's more of a connection to soil for me, I don't know....maybe I'm weird, maybe it's the lineage of my mom's side (farmers).
I like hydro and will continue to do some, maybe even venture into a Coco grow. It's the organic part I want, if dwc could be organic I'd stay there.
:From what I understand any well built super soil will do everything for you. NTG is a step up because you don't have to buy new soil, microbes are already well established when you replant, and very little supplementation is needed (teas and top dressings). When it's getting weak I can add it to new batches to get the ball rolling faster on the breakdown. Also decide to make a worm bin to not have buy so much ewc, and for fun.

I have music playing while I'm working , I can hear my sister who lives on first floor calling and saying WTF if I played that on night Paracelsus lol only listened to a couple of min but I liked it
 
@Rosetta Stoned I use cloth bags now to I tried 5,10.and 7 gallon pots then someone posted about how Vivosun has a tan heavy duty 7 gallon that holds 7 gallons well I bought some and I really like them they are just a little bigger than 5s and they hold 7 gallons I found the 10s took to much room
 
These 17 gallon totes take up a lot of room too. But if I grow them big enough that should make up for it. After looking at the 10 gallon today I might just stick with 7s for fabric.
 
I bought the pH pen today. This thing is the cat's ass! I have a pH reading in about 15 seconds. Checked to see if that was crazy, came back 2 mins later still the same number. Also has a fine tune adjustment so it's exactly what it should be.
I checked all my reservoirs and my goodness,. Some were in the 3s! I wonder how long the probe on the combo pen was acting up. Its been looking like I have been having nute problems lately....considered changing nutes to see or maybe it was the switch to tap. Pretty sure it was the probe and can't wait to see what it does for my plants having it read proper.

You post as much as you desire, that's the purpose of this forum, to become better growers. I cannot become the detailed observer as you are, so I rely on credible feedback from sources like you, providing quality observations about growing cannabis.
I can grow it but you all can show it. And thats what helps inspire new growers.
 
now thats a ph meter You know when I had to do the big flush it was because I didn't give it enough time to adjust to the correct reading
 
I agree with Kingkush I love reading everyone's journals. Gives me new ideas and I learn things at the same time. Keep up the posts.
 
Well thanks guys, you're too kind. The probe came for my hanna meter today so soaked it in storage solution for an hour or so. Then double calibrated the Hanna with 7.0 and 4.01 solutions. Grabbed the HM digital meter and checked a bucket. They are within .1 of each other. Good enough, since I don't like to ride the line either way. I honestly feel like I see a difference already. Looks like some jumped up over night and much more green.
 
Did some more rearranging, moved the SoG over by itself with the 110 watt Mars hydro rebuild. Both larger rebuilds are together covering a 6x8 area with 375 watts. Soil one side hydro the other.
Way better light to canopy coverage like this.
Cleaned up cords and power strips and added some perforated angle iron for more adjustability for my lights.

My main grow (week 8) looks good other than I'm getting yellow leaves more towards the top of my branches on the BCPWxBGr's. It seems a little early for that, the last one I took at 10 weeks 4 days and didn't fade until I flushed. The solutions are a little low in the EC but I would think more leaves would be yellowing, not just sporadically. Almost all the limbs are falling because of the weight. Thrichomes on these seem to be kind of ahead as well. Probably 60-70% cloudy some amber on the leaves.
The back left corner PExBD has kind of limp leaves and a cloudy bucket, roots look/feel fine. I'll change that bucket out and see what happens. These normally take an extra week or so longer to ripen. Even then I think they could go longer.
Still need to trim my last PE sog with the 4 revivals. They have taken an extra week in flush to be ready. Which is lining up my schedules again. Plus some veg room delays
