The church by far came out much better, the T.S.S. is a nice strain though. Hey for free I can't beat the price lol

Have any of you guys used the Hanna Champ pH tester? I am looking into getting one tomorrow but I want to know if someone has any info on it... Here is some specs on it and a pic:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Champ pH Tester [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Champ is a rugged pH meter with single point calibration and a battery life of over 1 year even if used for 1 hour everyday. The new design features a larger LCD so measurments are easier to read from any angle. Champ comes with a protective cap that can be used to hold storage solution or as a meaurement vessel. The electrode itself is replaceable by the user and has a non-clogging fiber junction which makes it last much longer. The Champ can be used for Research, Science, Laboratory, Education, Aquariums, Hydroponics, Pools and more.[/FONT]

Just got back from the hydro store. I didn't get a pH meter but I did get a bottle of Humboldt County's Own- Gravity and a bottle of Purple Maxx. Here's some pics, any of you guys use them? Have any tips? I would really appreciate it :hug:

when it comes to gravity, only use half the reccomended dosage from the bottle.
NEVER use twice in a row......use once, clean water, then add again.
I usually add it in week 3 of flower, then three weeks before the final flush, then the next week again (if i had a flush in between), then clean water flush the last week before harvest.

OVERDOSE signs are rusty or brown leaf edges, if this happens just give it a light flush...not much, too rinse some away and the plant will ree-coop. The fried leaves will never go back normal but the rest of the plant will be ok.

I use it the third week to help dense up the first few bud sites that form and it really works.

BE CAREFULL it's touchy stuff, but worth it when you figure it out. Good luck man!

OH...i never use it with any other nutes, because this stuff is so touchy anyway. But you can add the mollasses (1 TBSP. Per Gallon) with every gravity watering to help enhance the flavor and add sugars to the micro organisms in soil, if you use soil. M is useless for hydro...i think so anyway.

Thanks a lot Jig and LM. Great to see you back LM, it has been a while. glad to hear you are still around haha
I just took some pics of my vegging plants. I have an LST'd Church plant and another dark purple plant, still green though.
The dark purple plant isn't looking good though. The new growth looks a little twisted and the lower fan leaves are very droopy.
I have been watering normally so I highly doubt it is under or over watering. She has only been getting water for the past 5-7 days.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Here are some pics for you all to see:
Purple plant not looking so great






LST'd Church Plant Looking okay



Veg Box with DIY cooltube and 70 watt HPS



Feel free to say what you guys think about my setup or plants. I love some criticism or pointers. Thanks a lot everyone :blsmoke:

There is a good bit of airflow in the box, A cpu fan for intake a 4 inch duct booster for exhaust and two cpu fans for air movement inside the box.
I don't pH the water because I don't have a meter :cry:
I will just let her chill for a few days and see what happens I guess

well, it looks like textbook overwatering, but i had the same problem with my kush plant. Just explained in my journal on the long awaited update.

But i also notice this in my vegg cabinet when i have the fan constantly blowing over a plan. If i move it to the other end, it perks back up. It could be a number of things tom, i would say try one thing to fix it, and wait a week to see improvments.

The church looks good though, you seem to have the same problem spots on these plants as i do on some of mine,(yellow and crispy lower leaves, ram horned droopy leaves). I wonder if the humidity is a factor in this?

What is your Humidity at?
I run mine about 40-50% RH most of the time, but lately it fluctuates throughout the day. Let me know tom it could help me out as well....LOL!

what strain is that? also i would have to agree on the overwatering... that looks like a 1gal bucket right? if so i would only be giving them 1/4 gal a day at most... remember the roots need oxygen as well as water... when the roots dont get oxygen you get droop... also dont let your plant sit in stagnant water that buildsup in the tray underneath... drain it!!

Hey here is two options for PH testers on the auction site. I have one of each, and the cheap one works just as good as the digital one. Dont know if you prefer to not shop online, but its where i got mine if it helps.

I'm not sure on the humidity inside that veg box because I only have a digital thermometer, no hygrometer sadly. I might try moving the fan away from her for a few days and see if she perks up. I will also let her go longer between waterings

Which plant are you speaking of? I recently harvested The Church by Green House Seeds and am still flowering Thai Super Skunk by G13 Labs. The LST'd plant in veg is The Church and the other plant that isn't looking too good is some purple bagseed.
