Ok so, let's talk about that girl. That is Vanilla Tart, she is a 50/50 hybrid bred by Subcool. I've kept her for over 2 years now. Clones are taken before moving to flower and veged until the flower room opens up again. Suggested flower time is 56 to 60 days. My son also wants to tell me to let them go a little longer so I was trying to let her go as long as possible. That was right at 8 weeks after seeing the first true flowers (not preflower). My son said that the one time he grew her he let her go fo 10 weeks. Just wasn't happening for me

Sounds like it’s never going to happen for you. My dad always thought he knew better than me too. No big deal. Someday let your ego wall down and listen to others. Sounds like the son has already surpassed the father.

First of all don't have brown leaves work on keeping your plants healthy and green til the end. Two those had a long ass time to go. More then likely slowed due to be unhealthy af.

It likley wouldnt calibrate because the solution you used wasn't good to calibrate it with.

That’s some seriously crispy leaves.
This was close to harvest maybe a fortnight away when pic was taken.

This will also be the quickest phenotype they found out of ALL the phenotypes that were expressed.
doesn’t mean your pheno is the same one.

Chicken dinner !!!
I wish I had heard of this before I bought the cheap meter. I might have sprung for $100. I had to look up what you were talking about. This video
Thank you lusidghost

After watching the video what I get is stop feeding until the ppm drops feed again then wait for another significant drop before feeding again.
That is the plan for now.

You should be using plain water between feedings with soil. If you’re not that could be your issue. Sometimes I would water 2-3 times before feeding again.

@lusidghost Have you ran the the truncheon against cheap TDS/EC meters to see how accurate they are? (the cheap meters)
lusidghost

Yep. The truncheon is accurate, but only has 50 PPM point intervals. Like I said, I still use my crappy PPM meter if I want to know exact numbers. That's usually unnecessary though.
I like how the bulb continues to flash for a few seconds so that you can bring it up to look at without hitting a "hold" button or sticking your head into the res.

But they read close?

Accurate enough I guess. It's hard to tell without having actual digital numbers, but when they both hit 600 or 650 PPMs they both say the same thing.

Thanks for the info!...I may buy one of these if they last. I spend about the same amount of $ every run for packs of cheap meters.

... also, how's the battery life?

To me all of those crispy brown leaves look like a sign of botrytis, not maturity. You can tell because of all the healthy green leaves around the crispy ones.

I've had mine for a few years now and haven't needed to change the batteries yet. I don't even remember what kind or how many it takes.

Just keep in mind the "exact number" it displays is likely off by far more than than the truncheon. Not unlike a $15 pH meter which displays to the hundredths.
Resolution without accuracy is meaningless.
