Agreed. Containers sitting in runoff = no bueno.
Most recent grow. Yellowing issue with burnt looking leaves

It's only in that run off pan so I can test it right then. Normally after watering I'll let it fill and then immediately dump it. Other than that are the readings okay? Nothing too high or too low even with the other plant. I've never had an issue with this one (Betty) but some of the readings seemed a little low

They shouldn't sit in runoff at all. The idea is to flush out the old nutes, and replace with fresh. Sitting in that runoff just means they're mixing. Get a pot elevator.

That's what I was saying in the previous statement is they don't sit and run off at all. Like I will water them and within 5 minutes drain all of the runoff out. Is even that too much?

It's my first time doing a tent grow so I was trying to figure out the drainage. Before this I had them in a massive whirlpool bathtub and they would just drain out the bottom drain but a lot of dirt and soil going down your main bathtub drain isn't ideal.

Imo yes it is.

Yea you don’t want them sitting in the runoff for even a second In my opinion. You can use anything that’s not absorbing to stick under the pots that will elevate them above the drain pan and let all that runoff come out the bottom into the drain tray. That way the pots have no chance of sucking any back in or mixing. It’s probably not really hurting anything too bad but remove anything that could cause an issue. Not sure what the 1800 is from on your meter? Is that what you’re putting in for feed? And getting 846 for the runoff?

They say they are 130 watts so that is most likely close to true watts drawn from the wall outlet.

Okay got you. I actually just went to Lowe's and found some risers that will work perfect! Thanks for the tip. And no I tried to describe it in the pictures better but I guess it didn't work out The high number... The 1500 and 2000... Is my EC reading. The 850 and 1,000 is my PPm

So the chart with the cascading numbers from the center, is that from each of the red lights on the bottom of my LED, cascading out, or is that from the center to the outskirts.

Update for you guys. Yesterday me and the wife went ahead and pulled number three. She had about four or five more nanners on a couple buds and upon chopping and hanging we found probably a total of six or seven so not too bad! And they were all in one spot.
Probably got about a quarter pound. Pretty decent yield for me.
i also took one of my lights and strung them up vertically to finish baking off number one for the next week or two.

Nice bud and NO SEEDS! Huge improvement from the 2022 situation. (Got like 20 nanners on 4 of 8 plants AND they pollinated the whole batch...) It's nice bud too. Tastes good even before curing ! Now for 2-3 weeks in the jar they go. I got ab 3oz. Not what hoped for/expected but

You may want to cure without the bovedas, many ppl feel the kill terps, if you have one put a small hygrometer in there

Yeah. Pull the boveda . Its primary function is keep RH at level for Long Term Storage.
Looks like you are smoking up that jar already - pop in a hygrometer instead . Then see where it falls without boveda pack.
You will find smoke is nicer below 62% ( Try curing to 58%
)

Hahaha had to test it a bit pre-cure. And in regards to boveda, I've been told this, I don't leave them in
This batch was a bit TOO dry so I retrofitted a hydrometer to the top of the mason jars (trick I picked up LAST grow) and am letting the boveda bring them up for half a day.
The reading on the hydrometer is the room that it's in not the actual jar but the room I was in. They're sitting around 60%
