Well those are all in MG :-( lol I started with 64w cfl n some extra mg soil out mid bagseed haha been upgrading slowly but surely ... All I need is ph and ppm meter and slowly add to my nute collection thanks so she should be ok ?? All the buds look 100% healthy though just some those leafs lol

if i were you id start with an EC/ppm meter(i have bluelab)~100$ cleaner ~30-50$ and the ph up+down general hydro kit ~20$ i have the ph meter and accidentally let the probe dry out , so now its junk. the drops will get you in the ballpark and can be until you want to invest in the ph meter if its a ph problem i heard MG is high so you want to give it a lower ph water i think ~ 6.0 6.3 is good

Yeah think I'm have to go with something little cheaper to start off with but when I get paid that's my plan and yeah soon Be all FFOF lol not looking back !!!! I also will need the ph calibration solution yes ???

that comes with the cleaner kit its called "conductivity standard" . On the ph meter i accidentally left it out and it dried out and it doesnt work anymore. :(

realistically you dont need a ppm meter just know that the ocean forest has enough nutes for the first 4 weeks, and you should add perlite to make it drain better. the ph of the soil is very low so that means you should then water with a solution higher than your target ph. for example if you have 6.0 runoff and want it to be 6.5, you'd water with 7. if you have 6.1 runoff and want it to be 6.5 do 6.9.. and so on.
by adding the perlite you increase amounts of time you water and therefore can get away with "leeching" out salts more often (clean water, no nutes, just ph balanced, until a good amount runs off) and then give a lite dose and work up to what you think it wants. this makes it hard to overdo things and easy to bump up nute doses

make sure you dry it properly. this means drying it as slow as possible without letting it mold

try taking a cardboard box and then putting holes on one side around where the plant would be hung and opposite put a small fan in a large hole, making a passive intake which pulls air over the buds, instead of a fan blowing directly on it

Omg awesome fuckn idea we moved couple months ago while they was veggin lol !! Got
30-40 boxes at least wow fucking genius bro hahaha got a 6" clip fan I just took out grow room and replaced with 10" haha so works perfect just hang string from one side to another like a clothes line ya ??

exactly man but at first hang the whole plant with the fan leaves removed, then after 2-3 days cut the branches apart move everything tight together. then after 8-q0 days or so yu can do a quick dry trim and then put everything into a paper bag and then that into a plastic bag and close for like an hour or more to bring the moisture back to the buds. then take and snip all the buds into the paper bag. after i think its dry enough i put it in a jar then burp every few days. then it gets cured for a month
