    Digital ph meters and their accuracy and use

    That may account for half the negative reviews. Letting the bulb fog up or dry out. Thanks for the info about not storing the unit wet with distilled water. I bought a $6 probe store solution that I use to store the unit in. You can store it in a test solution too. If the probe bulb fogs...

    Digital ph meters and their accuracy and use

    So...don't use distilled water as the best way to store a PH meter. Distilled water is good for cleansing the bulb between immediate readings, not so good for storage. Noted noted and noted. Tap water is a better storage solution. Or spend $6 on a PH meter storage bottle. Calibrating is a...

    New seedlings are taking off - Seems too soon to transplant

    I've got some auto flowering Bubblegum Kush Autos that are about 8 days from sprout. The seedlings are growing fast. So fast, that the leaves have already extended out beyond the edge of the Solo cup a little. I've read that when they get to this stage, they are ready to transplant. However...

    Any cheap quiet way to increase low humidity? Stealth grow

    After watching a Youtube video, I'm gonna try that way. A bottle top mist/humidifier ($10) to use with a digital humidity controller ($29) in my small tent. The usb cable power cord from the bottle top mister goes into a universal usb wall socket charger and into the humidity controller, all of...

    Any cheap quiet way to increase low humidity? Stealth grow

    Thanks. I researched the passive approaches. The towel method. My 3 shallow pans filled with water will do about the same. 4% increase. I just wanted a confirmation that there are a lot of small inexpensive humidifiers that are bunk. I may just grow this Bubble Kush autofllower under...

    Any cheap quiet way to increase low humidity? Stealth grow

    32x32x64" grow tent. Stealth grow. Week old Bubble Kush autoflower sprouts . Anyone with a similar small grow tent able to raise their humidity by spending around $30? There are many small personal humidifiers out there. When reading the negative reviews (which I trust more than positive...

    Digital ph meters and their accuracy and use

    Thanks. Yes I WILL pay $16 for a proper solution, not $39. So far this pen is actually working well. It's a $17.99 Diliss ph only meter (damn that name is hard to remember and type out). As long as the bulb does not go foggy, I'm good (I'm thinking). Thanks again. I know the cap should...

    Digital ph meters and their accuracy and use

    I'll check what the cap looks like on my newly arrived "Diliss PH meter". So far it's working well. $39 for a bottle of storage solution???? Not likely. The pen itself only cost $17.99. I just don't want the damn bulb to go foggy like my other ph pen did. Do the caps of these pens do a good...

    Digital ph meters and their accuracy and use

    I've found using one digital ph meter, that...if you don't keep the bulb wet, the bulb will look foggy. You suddenly find the meter is crap at realiabilty. If you look at the tip of the bulb and its foggy looking at the bulb tip, it means the digital ph tester is no loner useful. We all do the...

    Don't use Viva paper towels to germinate seeds

    Two out of the 3 seeds of Bubble OG ($40 from Europe) sprouted fine. One just didn't want to tap its root outta the shell more than a tiny bit....then did nothing. Damn! I wanted 3 auto growing seedlings for my small grow tent. Ah well. Damn...auto flowering seeds are somewhat expensive...

    I'd like see posts of autos right after they pop up

    Do they suddenly grow 3 times their size in no time? I've got two Bubble OG sprouts showing. $40 for 3 seeds from GYO. The third seed of that $40 3 seed pak didn't make it. I don't need to tell you that having 6500K spiral bulbs hanging over these little sprouts can help. Close but not too...

    Don't use Viva paper towels to germinate seeds

    I really like Viva paper towels. Best on the market. However, for germinating seeds, not so good. Viva paper towels are so cloth like in texture, that the 1/4" long germinating seed root started immediately embedding itself into the folded over Viva paper towel. I had to gently pry that tap root...

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    Aren't COB's still relatively new? And...aren't they still relatively expensive? And...don't they run hot and are subject to burning out? Give it 2 more years?

    First grow not very potent

    Without being prejudice against inexpensive LED's ($ 130-150 range), I have to think that's the main reason my plant grew slow but healthy, but produced nugs that just didn't get the light intensity they needed to produce good THC levels, even tho I added 3 -150W red spectrum CFL's during...

    First grow not very potent

    I grew one purchased Pineapple Express clone in a tent using a $129 LED panel which I augmented with 3 150W cfls during flowering. Grown in FF Happy Frog soil with perlite added, not overwatered, not over nuted. From the start, the plant grew slowly but healthy. The main stock got thick while...

    Question regarding curing spears

    I may just let these dense small spears dry out for 6 days. Blasphemy ! I've been buying weed from so called legit "farms" lately...where they rush out the product too soon. Forget drying/curing. Get it out on there. Who can blame that $ ?

    Question regarding curing spears

    I was just asking opinions about dense spears which aren't gigantic, but are decent sized and really really dense. Break them up or put them whole into another mason jar? I suppose we get there in the long run. . I'm currently drying them. I'm not even into the curing jar phase yet, heh. As...

    Question regarding curing spears

    Excuse MEEEEEEEE mr. Elite!!!!!!!! I actually DID Google whether to keep a large spear intact or break it into smaller nugs for curing. I got back nothing specific, so I thought I'd ask here. Got it? If my newb question seems too newb for you, STFU anyways. I've read lots of other newb...

    Question regarding curing spears

    News you can use, thanks. First time grower here. I don''t know why some of you got your panties in a knot. I wouldn't be asking if I was growing pop corn buds. I was just asking if a massive spear would cure better if broken down to smaller nugs. As a first time grower, I didn't think my...

    Question regarding curing spears

    That's why I asked. Should I just toss the spear into the jar after it's gone thru 3-5 days of drying off the vine?
