@Aqua Man i didnt realize i would have to pretty much perform physical therapy on myself to get my leg to work again.

Rounds off the numbers but plenty accurate for a soil/soiless container grow and never needs calibration.

Only drawback is you have to leave it in the sample a minute to equalize temp for accurate reading. The pens do that electronically.

Oh shit that's a bill for that thing..... dam good thing I getting some over time at work.

10 4 what I'll get that then and ph what you use?

I just use general hydroponic test drops.

But i dont ph my mixture because my water and nutes balance out and dont require it but that is a whole other thread.

You can buy a cheap $30 pen one and they work fine. But you do need the calibration solution and care for it properly.

Mine has rolled off the counter countless times in 6 years. I like to buy once and get good life out of stuff.

Surprisingly I found stretching regularly to help quite a bit. But I always get lazy and then I aggravate it and I start rehabin for the next few weeks then slowly get lazy and less cautious until I aggravate it again. Rinse and repeat it's just one vicious circle of stupidity lol

Absolutely

 

[Rolandomota]

Took 5 well 4 days for pots to be light as a feather. Thanks for confirmation.

 

[Rolandomota]

So wife watered plants hope they pick up. Since I'm at work still. Had a 6 in main break old asa cat iron pipe gave out.

 

[Rolandomota]

So I just got home checked on my plants moved the soil around to even out the soil and what do I see on a few of the plants roots on top trying to look out... how bad is this I've read different things that it's good lots of roots and that it's bad root bound and also that I need to transplant. Any one had this happen before and what should I do????

So this is my first time growing how you guys think my plants look? Not sure if light is to close? These pics were taken today. They have been in the pots for about 5 days now I wanna say. Like I said this is my first time go easy on me.

Nice little grow setup as long as it works and learn you are all good. We all gotta start somewhere. I remember my first indoor round started in the closet of my dorm freshman year in college with a 400 watt hps light. Put some Mylar on the walls and and a little fan to move air and had gotten miracle grow to feed them. Came out great. It was a strain that we called the convalescent buds because after smoking it we would get you so high that one of my buddy’s said it knocks you so hard that you feel like you needed the care of a nurse.

It was purple afghani crossed w/ Thai sticks. Man. What would I give to get those genetics back. We had stored seeds in my friends dad’s garage around 2004 and house got robbed and one of the boxes that they took had the seeds. Gone forever...

I moved soil around a lil more and found this maybe I need to transplant take off some of the lower leaves and bury her a lil more in a 3 gallon pots now and take them to flower in that???? What do you guys think???

 

[CosmoGrows]

Been peeping in and out, im on my second grow, but feels like, not even a first, feels like half a grow right now with all the issues. What a curve.... What.. a fucking.. curve.. we are on the same page learning wise, which is why i like this thread.

Got to say, i like where this has gone. The upgrades look decent, im pleased. Ill be watching. Learning along with you too. Keep it going.

If roots are showing above the soil, i suggest covering with soil. as far as i know, that can create hermie issues??? I could be wrong, i dont know much, but i think i read that somewhere.

I would suggest definitely adding some soil to that. But, once again im not even close to an expert.
