I picked up a cheap EC meter on Amazon for $15. Does the job. I use my expensive Bluelab Truncheon normally but the cheap meter works if needed for something quick. Just be careful those ones aren't water proof lol.

Hello sir, so i got the PH and also TDS ppm meter.
WELL, i was horrified as it turns out I've been overfeeding it at almost 300ppm lol since very young seedling.
And also ph at 6.7.....

What ppm should i stick to for young ones?
I saw somewhere between 150-200ppm is good? But that was for small seedling.
Thank you for advices

300ppm is only 0.6 EC so that's not too bad at all. I start my seeds at 0.4 EC and work them upwards. My seedlings are just over 2 weeks old and they are being fed 1.0 EC or 500ppm. They seem to be handling it well. I think they may like a slightly higher pH than 5.8 though and I've been experimenting with a pH of about 6.0-6.1.

Thank youu..
My PH was way over, this feed i guesstimated and it was at 6.7...and i actually added more Ph down to it than normal...

Well i hope i can rectify the ph and it will recover..
M tap is at 8.3ph lol lesson learnt

Pretty what strain is that and how long in veg? Must be a decent size before flipping with stalks like that. Cheers !

No flipping that is an autoflower.

Seedstockers - Big Bud Autoflower

It started flowering after 31 days and flowered for 59 days. So 90 days total seed to harvest.

When I was using perlite in my coco it would prevent algae from growing on it. Helps keep some moisture in the coco and helps evenly distribute the feed.

Those ones fit perfectly inside my 3 gallon pots as well. They are thin flexible plastic so at harvest I have to cut them off.

I use to use something similar for hempy grows, as you, to keep the algae off the perilite

Soon as its not 110 outside and 120 in my area i'm going to do a jacks run also. Seen a few people locking in good results. Happy growing!

I had equally good results with Mega Crop 1 part. Only some of the autos I had didn't like the amounts of nitrogen they were getting and I couldn't control it.



This plant here was just a gigantic foxtail. Nothing solid on the entire plant. It could have either been shitty genetics or the excess of nitrogen that caused it. Either way I had debated binning it for a while and finally decided to chuck it after this photo.

I read first line and saw pic Haha.

Tragic. Shit happens every grow. I just snapped one of my decent colas trying to tuck it back under a set of string falling over. Super fun. But I some a useful seeds nice ones on way waiting for some jacks run to test them out. I'll let you know how it goes !

I can't believe you just threw up over my poor plant.
