Sounds like a truck load of BS LOL - you can use my flame-thrower(Propane weed burner) to sterilize it.(no bad shit in your cow shit)

The stuff I been taking for years strictly for outside and it works great it's had plenty of time to decompose whatif you burn shit out of soil it sterilize it?

PH meter calibration is IMPORTANT.
Why didn't someone say this to me? Everyone assumes someone else told me already? Don't trust factory calibration. Store it in liquid too. From what I hear. If it dries, it dies.
I checked the PH of my tap water the other day. It read 7.4. I then calibrated my meter with fresh calibration fluid. My tap water read 6.3. YIKES I have been lowering it .9 pts to 6.5. That would make it 5.4. No wonder I have had so many issues. 5.4 is way too low for soil.

The results of the devastation
Day 10 of dry for my first dead plant. Still no snap to the stems. Humidity still in the mid to lower 60s. If it gets to two weeks, I will jar it up anyway.
I put the he/she in the dark for the 48 hrs before the chop. 7 weeks veg and 5 1/2 weeks flower before it hermied. How much potency will be lost by pulling it this early?

rtfm.
It's in the directions for the meter. But I feel your pain.I've been chasing ph/def issues recently. Nothing devastating, but some leaves not happy. So tonight I bought a soil test kit. ph of the soil was about 6.5; not terrible. I'll kick up the nutes and see if new growth responds.
I have 4-6 weeks left. Please finish already........

Today was the day that ........ wait for it ........ I FINALLY flipped to flower.
They took 4 gal of nutes between the 5 of them and I put them to bed early. It will be tomorrow overnight that they get their first real 12/12, but tonight they'll be 14/10 and the the normal 12/12/ cycle will kick in. I hope they think of it as a really fast September.
The clone tray is still looking good after 3 days ... who knows ... they may actually survive my ministrations.
On another note, I'm thinking of going to hempy buckets and Jack's 3-2-1 for the next grow. The only thing in my way is finding some used 4 gal square buckets. Anyone out there have a source?

Mine didn't. I just hunted up the instructions. It told me to condition before first use but it said nothing about calibration before first use.rtfm.
Calibration looked as important as changing the long lasting batteries. I read elsewhere that you should calibrate after each grow.

I checked mine when I got it. Dead on. It drifted some after a few months. I keep a 7 and 4 reference solution and check when the mood strikes me.Mine didn't. I just hunted up the instructions. It told me to condition before first use but it said nothing about calibration before first use.

It should strike you on a regular basis. At the least it will tell you when the probe needs replacing.

My water is pretty consistent so I can tell if its off pretty quickly on raw water.
But my issue isn't the probe calibration, it's the water. My water is really clean, with several lab tests between 40 and 50 ppm. But it isn't stable.
It comes out of the tap at 5.9. Let it sit a couple of days and it will drift up about 7.4. Probably a dissolved gas. But now I have to age my water before using it which is a pita. RO won't help with dissolved gasses.
Oh well. I just checked my soil ph and luckily its in a good place. Now I have to up the nutes; since I put in the qb's they are eating a lot more.

The extremely low EC is both a good thing and the end of your pH swing mystery;
You see, pH is determined by what's in your water. If there isn't much in it, there's no pH to measure. That means your water won't affect the pH of your substrate.

You know, I never looked at it that way before. Daiamm. Revelation!
