So going to try this once again.trying to put myself out there more and be less secluded. I've got a few diffrent strains going right now. Double dipped strawberries from @useful, banana sunday from cannarado and DNA Lemon skunk my set up right now is a 3x3 gorilla tent a growers choice 315 and the bucket company with a mix of coco and pebbles in the buckets. Non of the starins are the same age so it will be another month or so before i put inyo flower bit untill then heres a couple of pics.15755807072716965445314190825811.jpg15755807416475606330925993082838.jpg15755807747556251055718749215654.jpg

Tbh this is more of a test for coco for me i want to move to doing dual root zone aquaponics and never really having good luck in soil, i figure it was time to try again.

Ok so some hiccups have come up 1) have hade leaks in my system for the last couple of days so tore down and re did the system. 2) dont think the teas worked to well but hard to really tell cause of all the leaks cand run my system the way she needs to. So back to the drawing board have her set back up with blue planet farmers pride back in the res starting tonight. Will run another week like this let them get some rest and recover.

Ph is sitting at 6.1 right now and will re check when i get up.

What type of Pen are you using to test the ph I used to have what I thought were crazy ph swings and supper hard to keep my ph above 5.6 no matter how much ph up I put in........turned out to be my ph meter.....I had my plants in water that was 6.8 ph meter reading 5.6 I found all this out after i purchased a good quality ph meter ....the crazy thing is the ph meter still reads accurate in the buffering solutions but not in the res????
It was the cheap meter and it took so long to figure out because it read correctly in the buffer solutions....i would spend hours trying to align the ph to no avail with that cheap meter ...…now it takes me 5 minutes........Thank you Apera ph meter you have made my life so easy:)

So i use a apera ph60 tester. Ive calabrated it a couple times over the last week to make sure but i may need to get a cheap one just to double check.

Also right now i have about 30 cc of down in and the ph is 6.05 and i still have another two gallons to put in so ill be fighting this ph issue for another couple of days hopefully not longer. But i believe its still do to the organic residue left in the lines and what not. And yes a did do a wash but think i may have missed something.

Ok so here we are its been a couple days i finally have ph down now fighting to keep it up but atleast its in the 5.6 range now so its a step in the right direction. I have done a few leaf strips and what nots to try and slow em down so LS can catch up but dont see that happening though i do want her a l IP l bigger then what she is not sure how much longer i can wait.
