how do i double check it? im new to hydro and i bought a brand new tri meter. i already unpluged it waited 30 sec and pluged it back in

If you have some ph solution 7 or 4 stick the probe in it and see what readings you get. Or get a ph pen to double check your readings.

hey fellas, just read about VPD and got some questions. While in veg it is good to have ~70% RH and ~75-85 temps. What about for flowering? GG said something about having more RH for the first three weeks of flowering, but what should the RH & temp be at these first three weeks and what about after that? Should it be lowered as much as possible so that there won't be bud rot? Thank you for any and all input.

nevermind im a dumbass lol i forgot to take the cap off of the ph meter hahahah


Bwahahaha,
Sorry, Waldo but i have never heard of this happening. I hope you started with a fresh rez and this mistake only costs you the price of the PH adjuster.

Best of luck from here on out man.

Yo getto I've seen your grown on The Farm also. You've stepped it up. Hell ya. It looks like you don't really do any defoliated at all. I've done both but I believe I did to much and it stunted my trees. It doesn't seem to hurt my smaller plants that I have in my 4x8 coco tables but my trees colas just aren't as big. The only thing I can think of is that I stunted them when I defoliated them. What's have you noticed either way?

Those look great cap. I usually screen train them for the first 3 weeks, then if they are choking out the lights give them a good pruning and let them ride to the finish.



Update:
I totally fucked this grow up. Sometimes I just do something so retarded I wonder wtf is wrong with me. About 3 grows ago I put some Essick antibacterial stuff into the res for the foggers and fed the plants some poison they almost died. I solved that problem with a UV filter in the humidifier rez.
I was watching this grow start off great then slowly going down hill. I couldnt for the life of me figure out WTF is going on. Rootzone was great UC system was stable and clean. Then It hit me, I usually just use soap and water to clean the humidifier tubs. This time I used MR. Clean antibacterial surface spray. What an Idiot I am. I guess I should have read the bottle, turns out Both the essick stuff and MR clean have the same active ingrediants. I was pretty sure the tubs were clean and dry but the plants are so sensitive to foiler fogging I guess just the residue in the humidifiers is what did it.. The lowes side is the worst, but the tub side isnt doing as bad. Looks like a 50% loss..

Hard Lesson Learned. :laughing:

Haven't felt much like posting lately, shit has been driving me crazy


EDIT: Now that I think of it I took the below pic right after I cleaned the humidifiers with the poison MR. Clean. WTF FAIL

RE Edit, The above was not the problem. I switched to different propane burners that were producing a dirty flame. Causing ethylene poisioning,
