Indicas make dreams happen
I personally use the ones they make for aquarium testing. Always have worked well for me.
My pH is way off by the way, if you can't tell lol.

I've been thinking about my closet plant and I'm guessing that it was just nutrient deficient and it wasn't a PH problem.
When I first planted the sprout I only gave her water and put some on the top and the rest I poured into the bottom.
I did that for about two weeks which probably washed any nutes out of the soil. (I reused most of the soil from the previous grow)
Then, when I switched to nutes I only watered her once from the top then all the nute solution went down the tube to the bottom.
I figure the roots hadn't grown deep enough to get to the nuted water and all the moisture it was getting was pretty much just plain water.
So for my next plant, I intend to water her from the top with nuted water maybe with one big flush to nute the soil all the way through to the bottom.
Then I can let the SIP cooler pull up the nuted water.
I'll never know what my PH was because I flushed all that reservoir water away, but I'd like to get back to not worrying about the PH.

I'm still thinking that she'll make a comeback.
She's standing up nice and tall.
I may have cut her final yield in half with all the BS, but that's OK.
I was considering just ripping her outta the cooler and starting over but I'll give her some time and see what happens.

My outdoor plants are looking pretty good.
The transplant is doing fine.
She is showing no signs of stress at all.
I have a renewed interest in it knowing that I should be able to harvest her when she's ready, even if I have to bring her in the house towards the end of flower.

Yeah, they're already too big for my closet. (my closet is only 21" across).
I hope I can fit it through the door into the shed in the fall. Lol
These are my plants from last year.

If you were referring to this picture, I guess they are pretty far along
I started the seed in the house on March 10th then transplanted it and my clone outside on May 19th so they both got a big head start.
This was the plant (the one from the seed and is now in my tote) when I transplanted it in May.
The one in the ground is the clone that I snapped in half trying to transplant it.
