Found my actual issue.. i had my tri-meter close to CFLs and T5 lights (running them to get a few more lumins with my 600W HPS). Turns out when its close to CFLs and flors it causes the meter to read out of wack. When i got my new tri-meter i had mounted it on the wall, i had moved the old meter...

i know.. i just bought a new Tr-meter.. lol what a joke. it was fucking the ppm and ph readings..i orginally thought the PH was off.. it was giving me strange readings of pH 450 with no decimal point.

Wow.. Jesus I figured it out.. I mounted it to a piece of wood, that I mounted my fluorescent t5 to... The t5 must interrupt the signal, moved it a foot away and ppms are exactly where they should be

That was my thought, so I tried the glass container... Then I thought the plastic bubbler, but if it's safe for fish.. Should it cause it?

So I'm running two systems, an aeroponics in a self made tote setup for my late veg/flower and to start the girls I'm using a plastic Tupperware container which I fill with water, have a bubbler and set the plant which sits in clay pellets held by 5" net pots, basically a cheap DWC. Doubt it...

My bad yo.. Sorry

I'm running a self contained aeroponic system in a 55gal tote. I use about 20L think that's 5gal, just covers the pump by 2cm. I change it every week.. Topping up between changes.

Ahhh I think I'm starting to understand.. And pH should never fluctuate?

So basically dilute the nutes until they start decreasing rather then increasing? How much should they decrease over a week?

jesus man, hydro s hydro is hydro... Don't matter if its tomatoes, herbs, Mary j or strawberries. As for reliability, I've heard of drip lines plugging over time. If your doing proper up keep then really it comes down to failure of the pump , power or the timer. With flood and drain/e&f you...

Just wondering how much you guys allow the PPMs to rise prior to dilution with water. For example I set the ppm two days ago to 1200 and the pH to 5.5, today the PPM was 1320 with a 5.9pH, obviously the plants are changing the pH to try to uptake different nutes, and drinking more water then...

Forgot to add that the expected date for the crop to come down going by manufactures specs is Oct 7-14. Im planning on adding 7-14 days for transplant shock and because manufactures slim there specs down a fair amount. Also now that the temps have been lower (hitting 10*C\34*F) my temps are...

Growing Medium: Rockwool sitting in Netpots, Home-made aeroponics Nutes: 1200 PPM pH balanced water: Adjusted last to 5.8 light cycle: 12/12 under 600W HPS + 6 CFLs Days in: 78 Days In Flower: 46 Plants: 4 Plants (2 Ceres Skunk and 2 Nirvana Bubbleicious) Notes: Well as you have heard a lot has...

Anybody know how it works in hydro? I'm growing in a insulated, non-heated garage, In a 2x4 grow closet. I live in a area that temps can drop as low as -35*c/-31*f. My thinking is that I will run the lights durning the night (usually the coldest in the day it gets is -30*c/-22*f). I'll remove my...

Oh as for seeds, I decided to just save the pollin, I actually dried it out and vacuum sealed it for down the road. I did get like 8 seeds from the time that the males were next to the last pyramid. Probably 4 are viable for use. I actually planted one of them in my indoor grow.

Well I took the second one down a while back figured I should update. The cure process took a while, and in the end it was running too slow, so I over dried. I dont remember the wet weight, but dried I got about 38g. Over all I am very impressed. The smoke is on par, and the stone is pretty...

Just an update. I started running into some problems and i posted this to the help section, got some useful advise. In the end i determined my Tri-Meter is out of wack. Ordered another one, should be here tomorrow. Next grow should go much better. My Grow Journal Should help this process along...

Well boys im sorry to do this but im super pissed off. I just did a manual check of the PH with litmus paper (sp?) and it looks to be way off.. I tried calibrating the solution, and i calibrated to 4.00PH, then i placed probe back into the tap water and it reads something like 200PH (no decimal...

the problem started about a week ago. I'm currently in week 7 of my flowering.I have been following the schedule that you post there.to be honest I've been running temperatures higher than that the previous weeks but now that it is fall the temperatures have dropped and I'm running perfect...
