There is pretty much no way to know everything you need to know before you do it. It's not like I know everything, but it's amazing the difference between my first grow and the one I have going now... so much less stress because I kinda have an idea what to expect. I totally thought I was going to have a perfect first grow, and now I see that the first goal is to have a problem free grow... from that you can build to perfection.
But all that being said, my bud from my first grow is sooooo good. I can't imagine what I am going to grow in a few years when I have things down a little more.
It is funny when people think there is nothing to it. Sure the plant will stay alive, but to get good stuff you have to work.

Nice, I have the exact same meter.
Just be sure to calibrate the ph regularly, (once a week or so), they drift really quickly.

It's great, easy to use, accurate (as long as u keep it calibrated). But I would love a meter that didn't need calibration, or a wall mounted one. Get's old having to open the res, swish the meter around, wait a few minutes to get a accurate ph reading, accidentally drop it in (good thing it's waterproof).
Great meter for the first couple grows, but I'm sure you will wanna upgrade once you got the funds.

hey sorry i hadn't checked u out for a few days. are you sure thats co2? definately oxygen meter, and looks like oxygen tank. i may be confused and u have an oxygen meter on a co2 tank. i dunno, tell me wats up. leave ur fans for lights on for 15 min to pull all heat out of them, and i leave my intake and exhaust running all day(i dont use co2).

Yeah its the same stuff people breath

i thought so, plants need co2, not o2. plants release oxygen because they intake water, nutrients, and co2. during respiration the carbon is absorbed, and the oxygen is released. hence the plant being a carbon based lifeform. it is made up largely by the carbon it absorbs in the form of co2. local welders supply will have co2. just tell em ur growing weed and the plants need it! jus kidding, they dont care wat u use it for and wont ask. if that oxygen regulator dont work, you should buy one as well.

If your mom inhaled co2 I think she would pass out pretty quick. co2 is what WE exhale...o2 is what we inhale.
Plants are the opposite. Plants inhale co2 and exhale o2.
Can you see the ecological relationship we share. That's why cutting all the trees in the world down has been bad... they provide us the oxygen (o2) we need to breath making it from carbon dioxide (co2) which does us no good. (i'm sure you don't beleive in deforestation up there amongst all the trees just like my buddy in minnesota finds it hard to beleive there are water shortages)
Roots breath oxygen, that is why you mix perlite/ vermilicite with the soil, so that air can get to the roots and give them oxygen. That's why people like me who do DWC have air bubble on our roots to feed them oxygen.
But leaves breath carbon dioxide.

Fuck thats confusing..........but yeah i see now, i looked up a bunch of stuff
I must have been stoned when they were teaching that in school !!
Cool Looking meter GTO,
I had one of there meters before. It was just a pH meter but I forgot to keep the end wet and it dried out an never worked again. Check the directions cause if you are suppose to keep it wet and you don't well...
In regard to the Ph, test your tap. most of the time that is 7.0 but you should yet calibration solution.
I learn by trial and error. It always better to learn by other peoples mistakes when you can though..
