also have a question for you Dan.

You measure your EC right?

I have just purchased one of these. Awaiting delivery

http://cpc.farnell.com/atp-instrumentation/ec-5061/meter-conductivity-ec-range/dp/IN04079?Ntt=ec+meter

Should i measure the EC of the water first and then add the nutes to the desired level allowing for the water.
For eg
Water EC= 0.2
If i want my nute EC to be 1.7 should i make the solution 1.9?
Or make it go to 1.7?

Im a bit unsure whether to add the EC of the water to the EC i want to achieve?

Hey Pal...

This is how i do it according to the instructions.

Firstly. Your EC reader will come factory set.
2nd You can test your PH'd water straight away and it should give a reading of 0.0, If not and it say like 0.2 or higher then you need to CALIBRATE it using the correct standard solution 2.8 EC. This is Essential CF standard 2.8 and this will then give you your correct reading. Then you can add your nutes and test accordingly... This is how mine works but as yours is a different type it may be different.

After you have done like 10 readings you need to re CALIBRATE.

Glad you got one bro. Its so much easier to get the correct ammount of feed. And as you can see from my grow the plants love the perfect amount......

Hey Dan

Glad you like the Door plates i made.

Just so you know that if you are giving your girls N here and there the chances of them going yellow are slim.
Other growers i have seen on here give their girls N and end up with a completely green looking plant at harvest time so dont rely on the leaves turning yellow.

Are you gonna use a flush additive when flushing the girls out????

JUst wondering because PLANT MAGIC have a new flush on the market.
This next bit is taken directly from Urban Garden Magazine Issue 17

PLANT MAGIC PLUS FLUSH
Plant magic plus flush has been designed specifically with the UK gardener in mind. Using flush you will see that your fruiting crop matures quicker but also removes excess nutrients from the plant sap to improve floavours and aromas from your fruiting crops.

This product works in 2 ways
1.a boost of hormones is given to the plant. This allows the plant to mature easily and quickly. In turn it uses up residues of excess nutrient within the plant sap.
2.The correct balance of salts is used to aid with the removal of salt residue and nutrient build up in the root zone. This will promote sugar production to give a sweeter, smoother tasting fruit.
No PH adjustment is necessary when using this product.
Visit www.plant-magic.co.uk for more information.

Check it out if you dont plan on using a flush maybe worth a look. Im contemplating getting some too.

Lol I think of everything me J. come on you know me better than that bro...lol I have CANNA flush 1 liter....

Tarzan....lol

edit: not giving any N but i am giving Cal/Mag at 1ml per liter. per feed. So 120liters = to 120ml of each. I think this is why they have stayed green and healthy..

hey Dan

Lets see a pic of some of the colas next to a lighter and i will try and guess your dry weight.

I know they are huge colas but a little unsure as to how big they are now.

I am thinking 24 plants multiplied by roughly 3-4 ounces per plant probably somewhere in the region of around 80-85 ounces but get a good pic up next to a lighter and put in a proper estimate.

Loving your work bro.

I cant wait til my EC meter gets here.

yeah good idea. I'll use a can and a lighter tomorrow and take some more pics. Thing is i cant get to the back where the largest is so ill snap a few of the closer ones and then let the guessing game commence.... remember your only getting 1 guess everyone.... lol So when i post some pics then you may make your first guess.... Includes anyone who has made a guess already....

And thanks J.....

The EC readers are awesome for getting it right the first time every time. A must i think...

Hi everyone.

Its day 60 in flower today and as promised J here are are the pictures with a lighter and a 440ml can next to some of the colas. I couldn't reach to some of the colas at the back, but there all around and about the same size. ( 12-16" colas ) one or 2 that are larger.

I couldn't get to the Jolly green giant in the back of the room but when i Flush this weekend i will take some of just her.....mmmmmmmm she's so sexy.......

They are still packing on weight and when i squeezed some of the colas there is not much movement between my fingers. ( propper compact ).... Remember they have 2 weeks maybe 3 to put weight on.

So enjoy and let the game commence.

Dan:leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf:

p.s see ya at the finish line Delux lad!!!!!!
