I'm gonna be honest, ive been a slack cunt and neither got a ec nor ph meter and my water is town supply.
this really pisses me off as my last water was from a underground spring. I am looking into a R.O. system
to fix this but they are fucking expensive.

I suppose I should get these when I return to using autopots. god damn why are autopots so expensive, its
almost just as cheap to go rwdc lol.

Yeah stay 24/0 then.

Meters are a must IMO for any grow. Until you get the hang of things some ppl don't use em but they generally really know what they are doing.

Where do you like you can get a 100gpd for like $80

I can get the EC pen / PH pen or the combo metre.

What do you recommend for autopots (and my current soil system too maybe? )

A decent calibratable ph pen and a EC meter is handy for all grows.

I've noticed bluelab has some ph'ing equipment. monitors ph and doses up/down as required. very pricey though. overkill?

was looking at getting the guardian setup tbh

I use apera and find the quality is good and price is reasonable. Blue lab are a great quality product but you do pay for them.

BlueLab is the only local supplier for measuring equipment. however I'm sure I could look around online, I just dont know any other decent brands. anywhere i can research info on nutrient metres?

Things since last update:

Raised LEDS
Turned on UV/IR

Switched to Flower 7/11
Installed dehumidifier (keeps room temp, eliminated mould)

Few issues with drying out/no nutes - totally my fault..

and here we are.

Comments, opinions?

I lollipopped and trim growth 2 weeks before flipping, to allow air in the bottom to circulate, how does this look to you experienced growers?

I'm a little worried about this.

Will this cause issues?

Does my airflow look right to prevent mould?

The height of my growth is quite a bit now, i understand LEDs to not penetrate that well, but i gave it its last trim 2 weeks before flipping and don't want to damage it during its flowering cycle.

My hope is that at harvest the buds will show me how much penetration these leds do and let me know what height to keep it next time.

Will be good. Just pay attention to the humidity for the first hour after lights out to make sure it's not spiking to much.

Once flipped wait till after stretch if you need to pull some fans after that's the time to do it.

Im going to the store today so i was going to buy an additional fan and add it to the top of the frame at the back to increase air circulation.

Stretch is really bad rn. This is one week in and im scared lol.

Usually about 60 days flowering suggested by seed companies but people often go longer especially with sativas. I took a plant down today after 6 weeks that looked like it was starting to make seeds.
