what instrument is needed for sap testing?

Planty mentioned www.specmeters.com but www.pikeagri.com in Maine also has a full selection.

You need something like Cardy or Horiba contact meters, not dip, where you drop on about 2 drops of sap. These babies are not cheap and a brix, pH, NO3 (nitrates), K and Na set will run you over a grand.

Here's an OK thread about sap stuff:

Been sidetracked from growing by some business stuff so can't provide much hands on input.

I'd rather not talk about the stuff I'm doing with sap and sap testing out in the open because all my info is hard copy and I have only indoor grows to measure from which I don't feel are an accurate example of what will be the recorded readings of a plant living out side from april 1 to oct 15...

But inside the best crops came in when I had the sap pH between 6.3 - 6.5 , NO3-N:K 1:6 , 1:8 EC in the mid to high 2s ..I am adding in and keeping track of more variables recently but those are the #s I feel comfortable going out with so far. These are also #s in deep bloom.

Nomaad - You need a sap extractor and a meter for whatever variable you want to test.

Hey Planty, what are your thoughts on Blue Dream? (HL inserts head in lions mouth and pokes with stick) Just kidding bro. Don't answer that.

lookin good bro, running some WCD and WCD crosses myself, curious to see how yours do.

all i gota say is there is gona be a lot of blue dream in sohum in october lol...luckily none from me.

LMFAO @ planty and swerves cinderella stories... oh the sad truth it is... good ole bullshit artist

on another note this weather needs to get better, it damn near snowed at my house the other night...

 

[Guest423]

I hate blue dream because it is commercial crap and I hate shit like that on principle alone...As a plant it has a tall structure and wide branch pattern which is OK I guess but not what I'm looking for in an out door plant. I like the same yields over a tighter more compact area. I also prefer to have the AAA grade. Not the mersh grade..

Thats my thoughts also, Blue Dream is like the new beasters. No reason to smoke mersh grade when there's way better out there.

 

[planty]

Nomaad PM'd me and was like "LEARN HOW TO POST PICS"...So I did some reading...

The DOG ready to go outside...

Where they're going to go...all fenced and mulched..

 

[THC123]

hell yeah wish i had the balls and the property to do a grow like that

 

[localhero]

hell yeah. that looks damn clean Planty. i see sun in that pic, looks like the weather might cooperate?

 

[planty]

THC - Anything is possible.

localhero - I've been doing my Sun dance

 

[username420]

planty, any pics or a thread from your last grow?

 

[planty]

Time2Unite You snuck in on me there. Blue Dream will be worth $1500 this year.

username420 No sorry. I was super depressed during last seasons grow and it wasn't really worth taking pics of. Hopefully this year continues to be blessed and I can keep posting pics LOL

 

[humboldtlocal]

Fence turned out great. Nomaad also told me I need to stop posting small pics. It does make for a much better read.
