Club 600

[DST]

Hey Justlearning, good to see you around, don't be a stranger bru. All is good over here. Still rocking the 600's!!! Peace, DST

I want a faraday thingy....

I noticed a couple days ago that my pH meters (Hanna continuous probes) read completely different numbers depending on whether my HID lights are on or not. Like 6.1 when the lights are on and 4.9 for example, when the lights are off. Electronic interference, anyone?

Now, I calibrate my meters when the lights are on, so does that mean they read correctly when the lights are on or are the readings total shit? BTW, the ec reading does not change, regardless of lighting, just to confound things. One would think a probe that measures electrical conductivity would be more likely to be thrown off by a strong electrical field.

3 ballasts, all digital greenhouse. 2 600 hps and a 1000k MH.

The meter is currently plugged into the same power strip as the lights, but I've plugged it into an entirely different circuit before and it was still affected.

I'd like to fix this, although I have a certain amount of faith in the lights-on reading because it obviously works really well plant-wise.
I'd like some 600 input on what I can do. Short of replacing my ballasts. Has anyone has a similar experience?

I have 15' ballast to lamp cords but the ballast to socket cord is only 6', so I can move the ballasts as far away from the meter and outlets as possible . What else can I do?

Wait! Problem solved! I just need to grow inside one of these:

Good Morn 600
I have a few strains drying right now
BBK
PLatinum
Mango
Purple Dragon
Mr nice
White rhino
Grape Ape

I already dried a lil of each of these as I battles bugs molds etc...
but this is the rest....
I had to empty the closet out to hang in there, and the shed still has the Dragon that is shit, and the BBK sativa shit thing in it.

Should I strip the Dragon for reveg or leave the buds for reveg?
as far as the BBK pos I think I might strip it for hash....already got my MH in the shed on 24hr for veg now

My BBK turmned out to be some of the best stuff I've grown to date, I wonder why yours was problematic. I actually have a second plant of it flowering now and it looks as good as the first. I have some vegging in hydro too so I can get more of it next time (6 plants, I think).

 

[DST]

Hey Bass, any reason you wanna run the mh24 hours? Plants

You got to leave some foliage on the plant for reveg, and a couple of flowers.

Here's a little snippit from my journal.

Peace, DST

My BBK Mr Nice And Mango all had no problems, but didnt want the flies or mites to get to them. Not alot from any of those 3 either tho, but that ok.
I am gonna make it into a mother along with the others. If I dont like some of the strains I will throw the mother away....lol
I dont have room for them all after all.

How many hrs should I run the mh for them to be mothers ? I have the greenhouse roof still, so I turn off the MH from like 11am-5pm when the sun shines in there, then on again from 5 pm till 11 am.

A deep blue nugget with about a weeks cure. Thank you Breeders Boutique.

There was a light leak in the bloom room that caused several plants to hermi-fault of the grower, not the plant.

That looks gorgeous. I like the contrast from pistils to calyxes

 

[Hotsause]

I had the same experience. I don't get what I did wrong and/or what other people are doing right.

Yea ill just take it as a lesson learned i looked up cheese cloth and apparently there are alot of different kinds lol i should have looked before

 

[bassman999]

Exodus cheese is already an original skunk strain from the 80's...But no, I have never tried Mr Nices "Shit".

Love the Deep Blue cof. A gent as always!!!!

 

[billcollector99]

Glad to see the Dog is a top 5 best seller over at seaofseeds.com

 

[billcollector99]

Whodats Sour D looks amazingly just like Reserva Privada's IMO

 

[DST]

I saw that but I think it's just marketing. I could be wrong though, it should be in the top 5, lol.

 

[Dropastone]

Sweet looking nugget you have there cof. Love all the red hairs.

I saw that exodus cheese was supposed to be a true skunk. I guess a few seed banks/breeders got a hold of skunk and renamed it.


Then I wonder it Cheese Surprise is like a skunk then?
