    How best to keep track of your grow?

    How best to keep track of your grow?

    Thanks for the advice! I feel the same way. I think it makes a difference as it adds a level of commitment and gets you into habit of doing things properly. Damn, 40 years worth of notebooks? How much storage does that take up?? :lol: It must feel a bit nostalgic to leaf through some of those...

    Introduction & Question (Feeling Overwhelmed)

    Introduction & Question (Feeling Overwhelmed)

    Thanks Corey! I'll definitely do that. But from what I read it seems that pH and PPM levels can vary widely throughout the day. How often should I be checking these? I'm not available during the day, so if I leave the plants for 12+ hours, would that be an issue?
