I hear you. It either goes one way or the other with these. Love em cuz they work great, or hate em cuz they are cheap and go out a lot. Its trial and error for each grower.

I do find that I need to feed less than with non-aerated nutes. He had me on feed-feed-water. After I started aerating I was able to go to a water-water-feed schedule. Easier on the wallet. Tastes better.

Looks like a good meter overall. I agree that strips are useless, and a good meter is invaluable. Just keep in mind that a meter that costs $130 is still a very cheap meter, to be replaced as needed. A lot of growers use the simple $20 pH pens and own several at the same time (backup). Follow...

Until then, there will be money to be made. Medbox! With financial backing by a former Microsoft exec.

Ahhh... I did not know there were two books. I have Teaming with Microbes. Have to look into the second book for sure. Thanks. Maybe then I can explain the process better to 'him'.

Sounds awesome. Strains that make you feel like the first time. A worthy endeavor.

A year in prison for GROWING a plant is crazy too. But he's coming around, and just ordered seeds on his own. But yes, he still laments some strains that he and his growing buddies ran for 20 yrs. I need to study up on my teas and soil blends. I thought I was headed in the right direction...

Thanks man. Thats who he is. 25 yrs at it. He knows about the new stuff, but doesnt seem to adapt to it. Its a great learning point for a new grower, just the basics. But then one always wants to improve. He always says "You see anything wrong with this"? And like i said, his plants are...

I just meant that I run a mycorrhizal media, and add aerated nutrient tea. Bacteria die off pretty rapidly which is why the tea turns anaerobic. Do you add mycorrhizae to your tea? I am still open to new perspectives.

Yep he's a douche! He doesn't like it cuz it wasn't his idea. One minute he talks it down and the next he wants me to run teas for him too. Make up your mind idiot. Yea, my plants were lovin it. Clean, healthy, vibrant flowers. Lots of trichs. Smell, taste, looks, high - I had it all on track.

I learned a lot from the guy that taught me to grow. But now he tells me that he disagrees with my use of aerated tea to achieve bacteria dominated tea in fungus dominated soil. He is a sunshine mix/fox farm guy. His plants are lovely. Flower outdoors in soil. Old School. What on earth could his...

BTW - A set of mass weight can be had on Amazon inexpensive. In a box with tweezers. My scale calibrates with a 100g mass. I then check it with a 20g, a 0.5g, and a 0.2g. Depends on how much I am weighing out. The set contains 6 or 7 masses. Sometimes its jumpy, sometimes its solid.

Now that is what I was wondering about. Thanks. Our scales (balances) were certified annually by the state also. We verified the calibration daily with certified mass (weights). The calibration was always within a specified range. The calibration was documented. Troubleshooting ensued when the...

Like I said, I'm not bitching...just curious. Aren't you? :-P I am a scientist, and this is the kind of information that I find valuable. The devil is always in the details. I know you guys follow the ADHS/ARS rules closely, and are invested in support of MMJ. Just wondered if any of you...

Firstly - I m not complaining. But I am curious. Do the dispensaries follow standard guidelines when they measure our MMJ? ASTM standards, maybe? I have noticed that Algea Releaf has delivered grams to me that weigh 'at least' 1.0g. The variation in weight is minimal. 1.10g, 1.04g,1.07g. That...

Well, that is why I missed it. The Dr office took care of the application for me (for an extra fee). I probably looked right at it and didn't even see it. No chance either of us are outside the 25 mile limit. Thanks for the link ap. I've read it. I get it now. Doh!

When I got my MMJ card as a patient, there was no option for a caregiver or cultivator card. How are these obtained? Anyone out there have either of these?

https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/701733-lets-talk-about-ph-testing.html?highlight=lets+talk+about+pH Check this thread out to help you choose and use a pH meter. pH is important to track. Nutrient uptake depends on it. PS Silly cat likes buds. LOL

A good investment for you, and many others. Reliability is worth the money. If you find something that works for you, stick with it.

I've been keeping an eye on posts concerning pH measurement. So I just had a couple comments to make to keep this thread up to date. Most growers do not purchase expensive pH meters. Many use the very inexpensive hand held pens and replace them as often as necessary. You either love em or hate...
