What brand pens do you use?
One of them is a HM digital and one is a Home Forest they are cheap but seem to work well

I have the bluelab guardian. You can keep the probes in the res so you can see what's going on at all times. It's a lil expensive but it gave me peace of mind. I gotta couple of vivosun meters also. They work well but I'm lazy and like convenience. Lol
what brand do you use

Yes. Temperature also. Plus the ppm meter does ec,cf, 5 scale, 7 scale. They're all just conversion factors though. You can easily to the conversions yourself if your good with math. Lol

What nutes do you use?
i’ll probably end up getting me one of them. i just wanted to give it a go before i got to deep in. I just bought me a couple of the auto pots to try you ever try them. They say they work really good and a lot of people like soil herb better especially if you are growing organic

My local hydro store has there own line.They sell it in bottles or in dry powder.I use the powder.Its a 3 part,1 veg and 3 is bloom.2 is the N.I can play around with the mixes and usually use less of part 2.
I tried lucas but didnt like it,too much$.I ended up at 6-9 ratio as I got a lot of edge burn at 9-18.
Does that have more than one probe or do you have to buy a separate one for each plant?

I'm got a few moms growing organically in fabric pots right now. I just found out yesterday, that's not a good idea. Once I'm done cloning them, I'll switch back to plastic pots for organic.

Yea I had that problem using Lucas with indicas. I have a sativa right now that loves it though. Full strength. I've switched to jacks now.
Yeah i’ve tried them too. They suck to hard to water with. Plastics so much easier and i didn’t see any better results.

This is good reasoning. They're all made of the same stuff. You should try to buy local brands if you're able to. Cheers!

The ph probe is replaceable. The ec probe is permanent. The cap for the ph probe holds kcl storage solution. It works well.
I’ve had the same problem with mine using the lucas formula. It’s to hot for the strain i have right now.

It air prunes so the roots don't get bound, but with organics, you don't want run off, or dry spots. They seem to work good with coco though.

Agreed.
