KEEP THE PROBE MOIST WITH storing solution!(or 4.0 or 7.0)
I too just got one from eseasongear . (milwaukee PH51) and i do have to calibrate every single use ? i dont understand :wall:
i guess all pens are like this?
is it from shaking it to get excess water off it?
Do we HAVE to spend 130 or more for one that stays calibrated or are they all like this?
please and thank u.
:joint:

FYI, I ordered the pH55 'Martini' and it works like a champ. I calibrate it every couple of weeks and most of the time it is still good, or off by only .1 (im in soil, so...). I did need to calibrate one time more often than stated above, but that was w/in the first week of buying it. Most instructions state that it takes some usage to 'break-in' the probe.

Also, if anyone is looking for a sweet ass TDS/EC meter for a reasonable price: HM Digital COM-100 is fast, accurate, and reliable.

My word of advice: Dont make your own. Im using this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/4-INCH-HYDROPONIC-INLINE-AIR-CARBON-FILTER-ODOR-CONTROL_W0QQitemZ300377227358QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item45efe0c05e

I got it for $42 shipped. Im a repeat customer, so they probably gave me more of a discount than you may get, but you'll still get X dollars off by just writing them and asking to buy it outside of EBAY. They save money, so they should give it to you a bit cheaper.

Its completely eliminated the smell I had from veg. All I smell is carbon coming out of the exhaust. Ill know in a few weeks just how good it is. Im 10 days into flowering 4 WW.

Its pretty well packed and well built.

I spent around $50 trying to build my own DIY carbon filter, and it didn't work for shit. Save yourself money and frustration of building your own. Its almost never as easy as the DIY's look.

Glad you guys like the link, but dont hate on me if its not 100% effective late in flowering :). Of course I doubt any filter any of us could build at home would be any more effective. Then you factor in cost in materials + frustration of building it. Its worth a $42 shot nonetheless, imo.

well, that filter doesnt look big enough for my needs, so im still building one... its not complicated if you have tons of carbon and coming though a large volume of it.

carbon is the biggest price of the filter...

so after about 12 phone calls, ive tracked down the 2 cheapest places.

Its kind of a catch 22, this first one is the cheapest per pound, but their minimum order is 55lbs.

you want the gc c30 or the gc c40

the 30 and 40 means how many millimeters pellit length is, 3 or 4mm

both are 1.70 a lb, so by the time its shipped, its about 120 total.

http://www.generalcarbon.com/vapor.html

second place does 20 lb minimum orders, but theirs is 2.00 a pound.

dont know their shipping cost because i didnt order from them.

http://www.activated-charcoal-carbon.com/

both these prices are on VIRGIN CARBON specifically designed to kill odors in air.

virgin means its brand new unused, not recycled.

They also sell a 6" filter rated for 440cfm thats $70 at their online store. www.lashop.com

They did have them listed on ebay as well, not sure why there are none up there now.

Look at all the trouble you're going through just to find carbon. Its alot simpler just to buy one instead of making your own, but if you like getting aggravated then by all means build it yourself :)

no agrivation...

the filters posted so far are tiny, and will become saturated in no time.

filters that contain a lot of carbon that will last a long time AND handle large volume, are over 200 and 300 dollars.

so, when a person can buy MORE carbon that comes in a filter, for 1/3 the cost...

im not sure why you think its a bad deal?

building one is a piece of cake... just put the exhaust pipe with an elbow, make it go verticle, and then have lots of joints and fittings in a short distance...

between each joint or fitting, put a screen.

pour carbon on top of that screen.

then go up an inch, and have another screen

pour carbon on the screen

repeat this until you have a pipe about a foot long with a wide diameter, filled with carbon.

pvc pipe is dollars.

or spend 70 for a filter that only weighs 5 lbs and kid yourself into thinking you have the same clensing ability and endurance as the guy who got 55lbs of virgin carbon.

we will see who's in for the rude awakening.

I never said your carbon filter wont work, so I dont know why you had to throw that in there. Now that you have described your filter more in depth, it seems like even more work to me.

If it works for you great, but Ive done the "search around for carbon", go to home depot multiple times to get everything I need, only to end up with something that didn't work very well.

If you can make it work great, then you've done a much better job than I ever did and Im happy for you. Id like to see pics once you've got it all set up.

BTW, how are you planning to fit 55 pounds of carbon into a foot long filter?

Couldn't believe Kmart has this in my area !!!

Its nice when you dont have to order everything online or from over priced hydro shops locally, but if you want to save $12 on that you can get it from well who else?


http://www.dchydro.com/product/1010/125-W-Compact-Fluorescent-Warm/

Appears to be the same item. I know they sell hydrofarm products, so probably the same.

Can you tell me if 125w CFLs can go in standard sockets? Im gonna pick up a cabinet for my next grow that has separate compartments that will be used for a mother, and a cloning station. CFL's would be a perfect fit for it.

Keep in mind that those 125's will put out some heat. I run 105's (3) over my plants and you want to keep them about 6-8" above the plant and have a fan blowing on them.
