I've had 2ish years with a Bluelab meter, but literally had an Apera pH60 and calibration kit in my Amazon cart moments ago...then decided buying one at the tail end of a grow when I won't start up again until next September is kind of stupid. My BL still works but is super slow and hasn't been...

The real problem is that the meter probably didn't come with documentation for proper calibration. I looked around and did find that the meter wants 4.01/6.86/9.18 for fluids. The bottles are not mislabeled.

This is why I do only one grow of two plants a year. For my purposes/gifting it's plenty. the rest is just wasted space, effort, physical resources and $$$.

Give it time. Moisture has entered the air, but what may enter the plant-matter takes some time.

No, I posted in one of the other many threads you've put up here about this topic. People like different levels of dry/cure, cure it & hold off on your second guessing until you've made it to the end of the process. Also, make fewer threads...this all could have been a single one.

I go through a ton, but I have bees and a couple hundred pounds of honey a year to jar up...I also pickle & make jam, etc.

They don't rehydrate, they're designed to keep things within a certain range. If you over dry there's not too terribly much you can do to fix things, though I have on occasion if it were a bit too low added a mildly damp paper towel to the jar (back when I used jars) for a day or so and been...

Pick up a timer that allows you to program intervals (aka 5 minutes on, 3 minutes off repeated) then you can adjust the on/off amounts so that you're not pulling the air out as aggressively.

Sounds like you have your in/out cranked up too much? I generally run mine as low as possible but enough to still pull the smell/air through the filter. If I notice that I can smell the plants in the tent, I notch up the 'resting' level of the fans each by one & repeat until the smell goes...

I don't do organic/soil these days but generally speaking I provide water/food right up to the time I harvest. If I were doing something like FFOF, etc. I'd top-dress on whatever timing/scheduling has been working for you up to now to cover however long to harvest. Also it's a fool's errand to...

Keep 'em in the bag and check them a couple times a day for a few days. If you see that they 'go up', open the bags for a bit, let them release some of the moist air then close 'em up for a day. It's basically like doing the 'burp' procedure that you do with jars. Once they settle down to the...

I still have a box of filled jars but don't even access them anymore. Also I hated the burping part of the dry/cure process.

Yeah, I agree. I really like them though there are plenty out there who like to bad mouth them as 'just bags'...though they seem to do exactly what they say...and they really do keep things in good shape for a long time. I find them easier to store and much less hassle than jars anyway.

For me in 5g bags, with decent sized plants I'm feeding either every 3 days, or once I get to mid-flower every other day. Depending on how dry it is, I do 2 or 3 gallons per feed.

I use it, and there's still a whole bunch of people here that do too.

Definitely try, but don't get your hopes up. I have a bag of a few hundred bag seeds from the 70's and early 80's (also stored in a basement) and I've tried a few rounds of germination (about 30 seeds each) with nothing happening. One of my next moves will be to try to germinate a LOT of them at...

I do have a heater in my tent too, you know. Also, I have a 24 hour HVAC company I can call.

Sure... and you posted this:

For the record, I have my tent in a small utilities room with my hot water heater & our boiler unit. I do that because it's the warmest room in the house except for summer. I maintain low 80's with LED lights on, and with lights out it's mid 70's. I also live in northern NY state, so. cold in...
