Nope...haha its a lil bit o fuckin around but it does provide incentive to spend extra time in my veg rm....so win/win. Everytime i go down there to swap ice packs i always end up spending a lil extra quality time w the girls i otherwise wud not have spent. For example, i went in this morning swapped so ice packs and while i was there....i up potted some moms, cleaned the bottoms up, and topped my tranny panties.

Fwiw i like to keep my water temp at 68.

Can someone please explain this.
I have 2 ph meters 1 measured my nutrients @5.7 the other meter measures it @ 6.0.
When I put both the meters in 4.0 calibration fluid they both read 4.0:(
Now I have no clue which one is accurate.

Me?.. no cycle time. It runs around the clock. I also cut the bottoms out of 2inch net pots and put the foam plug in it instead of the cloner for easy inspectionView attachment 797242

Gladly....same thing i was trying to tell @incogneato the other day....just because u stick it in 4.0 doesnt mean its calibrated...u need both 7.0 n 4.0.

Other thing is, some ph meters account for temperature like a blue lab and others dont. Temperature has a big effect on ph.

Yeah, gotta do the 4.0 and the 7.0 to calibrate, not just one or the other.

Slam 1 for Joey.

I have used the 1 min on 4 min off timer on my cloner and I really didn't see any difference in the temp of the water. But with that said I don't use the aero cloners any more just not that beneficial over the pain in upkeep.

I put my Turbo Klone up and went back to a simpler method myself, such a pain in the ass cleaning it for me. Just using Rapid Rooters in small trays, sitting in a larger tray with water in it, (so they can pull what they need), with a dome. That method works pretty damn well, without some of the bullshit involved in dealing with the aero-cloner. Who knows though? I may go back, I'm like that. lmao

I guess you got me on a technicality there lol. True though, i always check both solutions, 4 and 7. I got burned by a bad ph pen on my first run so im pretty critical with my ph pen. Love this bluelab btw. I didnt know it made adjustments based on water temps, thats awesome

New avatar? Mmmmm....cookies lol

I think my lil portable ac is losing steam. Temps have been geeting too high for me on the open bulb side of my room. I had to turn the ballast down to 900w to keep it at 77° over there the last few days and i have the ac cranked. I could drop the temp to 60° easy last year. It warmed up outside and we dont have the central air on yet but its still probably done. Monday is start of week 9, fade is starting to show on the tallest tops over the last week. Trics almost all cloudy, no amber yet. I was thinking of swapping the 1000w hps for a 600w mh on the open bulb side and leaving the 1000w hps in the air cooled fixture since it stays at 75° no issues. I wanted to try out one of those 10k finishing bulbs but ive been getting a little spendy lately. Probably should have dropped this in my own thread but....i didn't :smoking:

I found 6.8 solution packet laying around and calibrated both pens.
The instructions for the meter say to calibrate it at 6.8 then rinse the meter. Then it says dip it in the 4.0 solution until the pen reads 4.0
Both pens would not settle at 4.0 both settled at 3.3 & the other @ 3.6
What You guys think bad probe's?
I ordered another pen last night. It would make sense actually this run aint looking right:(especially on the plat og. She let me know right away somethings fucked.

I would say to get some cleaning solution and clean the probe then retest
I put 2 shot glasses out
1 7 solution 1 4 solution
inbetween I put a cup of RO
I dip in 7 and calibrate then shake around in the ro and then into the 4

Yep that's what I did.
Do blue lab meters last along time I see they are kinda pricey.

I did read a while back that ro water damages the probes on ph pens though.

The meters themselves last forever. I usually replace the probe every 6 months to a year

Storing it in ro is a no no...rinsing w ro is perfectly acceptable
