Thanks Jenks! Fairly happy so far. Just hope i aint got root rot.
Jay its a scrog style grow. But unfortunately a few branches got stubborn and shot up. Plus i didnt weave enough of the screen hence the gaps Yup its a blue lab meter. Measured the stalks and the average is about 14' and the tallest is 17'
I have a blue lab as well.No calibrating or storing in solution makes life a lot easier, they'll even be taking the ppm of the water when cleaning under the tap.Scrog is my favourite method of growing, has to be the best way to get the most from a plant...
you running dwc or hempy..? Was looking at one those blue labs.. Seams to be the bollocks,
They really took off with the spell of fine weather we had for sure, they're still going well though and absolutely loving the fishmix.Well the ww is looking amazing fred! Got a good bit of sunshine the last few weeks id say. Hopefully mold doesnt set in. weather has been so mixed recently hard to tell what would happen! Kinda tough of keeping track with peoples grow on this thread. if you dont visit for a week or so your 10-20 pages behind
Jay i only got into scrog because of Scotyballs, Dr amber and a few others. Tis my second scrog grow. First one i lost to root rot but hopefully if this ends up a successful grow i shall be a very happy camper come harvest time! Yup the blue lab is awesome. got mine second hand for about 35e. its great for mixing and testing!
alright ty for the advice man and the setup is to small and contained for hps or mh lampsMH lamp? Or do you mean a MH bulb? If you have an MH bulb you will likely need a ballast because you cannot just plug those in any were and if it blows up on you it could do some damage to you or your setup and may cause a fire depending on your setup. Your best bet would be to get a conversion ballast so you can change the settings and also use an HPS bulb down the road. The t5 would work but you won't get as big a yield, it would be good for the beginning of the plants life like the first couple of weeks but like I said you could use it for the entire time and it is low on heat I just wouldn't have more than 2 plants at a time.
Did you order seeds from them?Don't do what I done and ordered from this prick...

Bulling isn't the word... Grrr
on a plus note my ph pen arrived, haven't even opened and me thinks I should of got the blue truncheon
Yeah had ordered a couple of beans, glad i didnt order loads though..!!Did you order seeds from them?
I read about them before so thought the site would have been gone by now, I'd contact the bank and do a chargeback.
The blue truncheon doesn't measure ph only ppm and ec.
What ph pen did you get?
I had one of those yellow pieces of crap from ebay, the one I had was wildly inaccurate but you may be lucky with yours.Yeah had ordered a couple of beans, glad i didnt order loads though..!!
Got a ph from flee bay but not one of the yellow ones that are flying around.. came with calibration fluid... may just get the hang of things now...!
Ahh well honestly i think i have root rot. There are quite a lot of sick leaves. All i can do is wait and see. Yup the last grow was a Northern lights scrog that i lost to root rot. DAMN YOU PYTHIUM!!! DAMN YOU STAIGHT TO HELL@jasper: I can't imagine anything going wrong by the looks of it it looks great and seems as though you should have some fat colas when all is said and done. you did scrog last run right? the one with a ton of branches?
Well all you can do is hope that no mold gets on her. You have any preventive measures? Like any spray to prevent or stop mold?They really took off with the spell of fine weather we had for sure, they're still going well though and absolutely loving the fishmix.
I bought my bluelab 2nd hand as well for 50 quid, still a good deal.

I find it good anyway, I calibrate about once a fortnight and it is never off by more than 0.1.Thats the Ph pen i have too fred. got it like three years ago and barely used it until last grow. Thought it was ok. worked anyways so i was happy out
Ive never calibrated my one. Just been half arsing it. But when i get the new batteries tomorrow im defo going to calibrate it. Have the liquid ph solution so will use that as a guideline. Ahh well your sorted so. All prepared anyway. And ud want to be after hearing about this storm warning :/I find it good anyway, I calibrate about once a fortnight and it is never off by more than 0.1.
I killed seedlings when using the cheap ebay one.
I have Bordeaux Mixture here, that's for powdery mildew and I will get something else soon, fruithillfarm.com have some good preventatives and are based in Cork so delivery is quick with them.
The storm is the last thing I wanted to hear so will have to try and shelter them in the morning, don't want to be losing branches on the big ones and it might be too much for the smaller ones.Ive never calibrated my one.
