Hey guys! Welcome aboard, knucklehead. Colorado Proud!

I just got my new Hanna Combo meter in the mail. I need to calibrate it before I can use it so it is off to the dro store for some 7.0PH solution....

Sweet the valentines day present has arrived
Im gunna have to get me one of those fancy meters before I start another grow

what up doog!? i just caught up on the entire grow, nice work...that white berry looks beautiful. check my grow out in my sig, i got another 2 weeks or so..i'm also representing the 400!! haha

Hey dogleef very nice pics I was just going through the journal. Cant thank you enough for ur help on my adventure.

I found another product by vigor called Vigoro All Purpose plant food with a ratio of 10-10-10. Sorry for the big picture. Ill find out more details about it or just mix it with some water (how much you water you think for few drops of this?). They also have a water soluble one which I think I might need instead lol.

You can get away with the cheaper ones as long as you calibrate often. $40 for the set off ebay. This hanna combo was $130

Thanks for reading GKN. It has been a winding road to this point. I am on the downhill side now. It is a miracle I did not kill my moms.

Hi Intuition,

Start at 1/4 to 1/2 label directions.



Update coming up ...

Day 23
Tallest plant - 28"
Most are 20-24"

New Meter PPM - 1280
Old Meter PPM - 1360
PH - 6.15

As you can see my PPM was a little high today so I added a gallon of water PH'd to about 5. I can see the very tips were begining to show very slight N burn. I did not get to the Dro store for my calibration fluids yet. Tomorrow.

Gosh those look beautiful.

Yummy!!!!!

Cheers guys. Stay tuned. It only gets better from here.

Day 24
20-28" plants.
1200PPM
6.15PH
Stable temps 68-78
***Supplies - 7.01PH Cal solution $7

Tallest plants is 5" from tube. Warm to the back of my hand but not hot. No sign of bleaching yet. As you can see my PPM is a little high but the girls are taking it fine so I will leave it for awhile. I will correct PH if/when it hits 6.3.

Watered Moms this evening. They are taking off after the latest pruning. I will have lots of good shoots to cut in about 10 days when I take clones for the next round

Having a good meter ROX. No more test tubes and drip solutions. I currently take readings during the flood cycle because it is difficult for me to get in to my reservoir but with this waterproof meter I can just dunk it and go. Sweet. When I calibrated it for PH after soaking is was only off .03.

Pics in a bit. I'm thinking a time-lapse ...

Bud shots of the day



You can see a little burn in these from my high PPM yesterday.

Splendiforous!

yeah, fucking awesome! i want some white berry

Damm Whiteberry, ease up momma!

Day 25 - Half way home!
1300PPM
6.25PH

Added 1 gallon of water with H2O2 treatment (6ml/gallon) and enough PH down (maybe 5ml total) to hopefully correct my PH to about 5.8. This should also bring my PPM back down by about %10. I will retest next flood cycle. This is the first PH Down I have had to use in my flower res. If I can keep my PH in check with minimal correction I will keep going with my no-change plan.

Everyone looks happy. There are a few fan leaves that are a little yellow but they are the leaves that are pressed against the front wall of the tent when it is closed so they are getting no light. I will leave them until I am sure they are dead then off they come.

Huge amount of trics all over the already. LOVE IT! Will make some nice bubble or oil later on.

Per your advice..

Thanks so much for the insperational thread. I am doing a similar set up. soil mothers and DWC clones under 400 MH/HPS once my current plants are done.. I have 2 BB Blue Cheese, 2 Afgan kush, and 1 strawberry cough. Not to mention the freebie skunks from attitude. If I get a good clone survival rate (never tried), I will try perpetual 'addiction' as well.

Plus Rep when I can agian...lol
