yep i use the super budget varieties. cause they are cheap i buy 2 and i alternate between them and often use them both to compare them to each other. as long as you rinse them in clean water after every use drift isnt too bad.

I've heard that if you rinse with 4.0 water right before storing, the PH won't fluctuate much.
Next time I calibrate, I'll save the 4.0 and try it.

I just bought a cheap PH meter off of Amazon. Haven't used it yet, but I'm sure tired of eye balling ph strips every day haha. I got a cheaper ppm meter with it that does way more then my bluelab one, but it seems to be 200ppm off from my older bluelab ppm meter. Not sure which is more accurate.

Oh yeah, Also @Amos Otis, Correct me if I am wrong please, I remember seeing a post where you listed some of your least favorite strains, I think you also had GreenHouse's Kalashnikova in your list. I am running that as well this round and it is also a pretty impressive little plant, quite frosty and decent smells.

Do you smoke weed?:eyesmoke: 'Cause that's a darn good memory. :shock::lol: The 2 Kalishnakovas were right around the time of the Cole Train, and were very early into my re-entry into the hobby. Both of them grew short and were mostly a big fat main cola. N/P with that; it was the smoke that was underwhelming. I'd attribute those early duds to rusty skills that have since improved, but I was getting outstanding plants in the same period with Confidential Cheese, Dairy Queen, Jilly Bean etc, and I really haven't changed the 'spaghetti sauce' approach to grow much at all, other than switching nutes a couple of years ago.

It's pretty cool to recall the early successes and failures. I was hitting up all the single seed sellers at the time and jumping on the cheapies.. Kalishnakova was around $5. What's it go for now?

I grow outdoors, so I'm not used to PHing anything. This year, however, I'm growing outdoors in coco coir, so I had to get familiar with checking PH. Anyway, I started using the drops and eyeballing a color match figuring I was getting pretty close...what I found out when I got my PH pen was that I was off by over half a point. Fortunately I didn't have issues, but now I'm able to get my PH right where I want it in my outdoor reservoir.

I think I paid 25$ for three Fems.
I usually crawl around the threads and search strains/grow reports before I buy anything, sometimes I also purchase on a whim. Its not that my memory is so good, it wasn't that long ago that I searched for Kalashnikova opinions and found your comment on an old thread. :bigjoint:

Word ! I had the pH drops, and a color chart that I used for a couple of years. I always needed to add a bit of pH up to get in the zone, so when I ran out of drops, I didn't re-order; just kept adding a dash of the 'up' powder. When I went to re-order the powder last fall, Amazon had quit selling powder altogether. I'm not fond of liquid's lack of easy precision, so decided to go w/o any pH adjustment for a spell to see what would happen. Surprisingly, nothing did. In the half year since, haven't noticed anything negative at all. Less work = a better spaghetti approach.

Haha it's cool I was gonna try to snipe a few but not worth time. I am pretty sure this is one he will keep around for awhile though as it would be pretty dumb to take it off the menu. Quality plant and genes worth keeping on the menu indefinitely.
