Hey 85,

Soil runoff test CAN be reliable bro, theres just a little technique to it. Water it very very slowly. For example if i was gonna give it 500ml of water, i would do 125ml every 15 mins so in an hour ill have a nice “reliable” runoff reading rather then pour the whole 500ml of water in 1 go that comes out within 20 seconds. Make sense?

you never said whats the humidity your running? in soil try to also keep to that 6.5 ph level coming out. Your definitely gonna have to try and invest into a digital ph pen for more accuracy at some point then those drip kits ur using .
Sorry forgot about the RH-was staying rather low, around 40% at it’s highest. I’ve adjusted that the last few days and have been running around 50-55% (day 42 since flip, about 35 days since sex showed).
I’ve had bad experiences with pens which is why I’ve stuck with the drip kit. Bought a few different pens, granted lower budget pens, and could never calibrate accurately-bought different calibration mixes, deionized water and shit never worked lol

Yea I feel you man. I went through the same shit and then eventually bought a Bluelab combo meter. Best investment EVER :weed: lol.

Low humidity around 40% in the flowering stage is good. It will protect you from any Botrytis (mold) issues and also frost up your buds. In the last week i even push mine down to 30%.

Look into “BLUELAB” truncheon/ ph meters. They are reliable. And if you can manage it, then grab a BL combo meter. It BANGS !! :D

I’ll definitely look into it. I always see Blue Lab mentioned here as a quality instrument. Thanks for the feedback on this
