I was looking on Ebay at Pen type PH meters in the $20-$30 dollar range form china - either direct or via Australia. Does anyone have experience with these. It would be to replace PH test solution.

The dilemma I have is on two prior grows of Northern Lights my plants never produced many cloudy and very few amber trichromes. I followed advice to cut nutes 2 weeks prior. I used the published end of the range of days to maturity as my guide. My plants expired on timetable a bit after two...

I have started to harvest a couple of earlyish buds of my white widow. I'm eight and one half weeks into what was an anticipated window of 8-10 weeks. The plant has been under 8/16 for the last week and a half. The top buds look have appeared to change, albeit slowly, as expected. The bottom...

I have a 1' x 2' hydro box with a 150 watt HID. I do have the radio shack scope. From what I have read, White willow should go 8-10 weeks and should be left in 0-8 hrs of light for the last 2 weeks. I have also read that the pistals should be 50-80% brown and that the most odor occurs near peak...

I am on my 3rd grow. The first two were northern lights and were not very successful. I never had many cloudy or amber trichromes and the result was very very unpotent. I am now 8 weeks into 12/12 with a white willow plant. At least 80% of pistals are orange and trichromes a a mix of cloudy and...

I did not intentionally grow an auto-flower plant. The plant I intended to be my first mother is now also auto-flowering. I had switched from 24/0 to 18/6 so save money and just switched back, but the parent had also auto-flowered under 24/0. What to do? When can I take clones?

I topped a white widow plant in my small hydro setup so that other plants could catch up. The attached picture sure look like a male show sex. Can anyone please explain this?

I purchased a turn-key system and I am now trying to build a DIY for a second. The purchased system has a plate for the intake that does not allow light to exit (and I assume to enter). I have not been able to find anything similar. The closest I found on the forums was an 8 in x 8 in vent for a...

which is the prime concern

I have a plant that is nearing maturity. I was advised to flush the plant for two weeks prior to taking it. I'm one week into that and my plant is turning red. Previously in it's life, I underfed it, it started to get red stems and veins. This is much more pronounced. Should I take any...

The plant is in the foreground. The one behind is bigger and well behind in maturing. Does maximum "fuzzyness" often differ from color of trichromes?

My plant is mature with brown stigmas but I have never seen any amber trichromes. I have been looking at the trichromes daily and they have mostly fallen off the top bud - but no amber. This is my first grow. Should I wait or take some action. Lower buds are only some brown stigmas. The...

I have two plants in a DWC setup. One plant is getting close and the other is probably two weeks behind. Should I flush prior to taking the first plant? If so, once I take the plant, should I add nutes back to the other?

I have two plants on my first grow. I have been checking the trichromes daily using the radio shack 60-100x scope. Some are clear and some are cloudy. The hairs have pretty much dried up on the top bud, so I thought I would see amber. While I had the scope out , I decided to look at some...

I appreciate all the input. I should have said earlier that I have a six site DWC so raising a plant is not an option. On the next grow, I will either rotate the light or the reservoir 180 degrees as needed to keep the height more uniform. I have read a bit here regarding lst. Does it apply...
