I know the Blue lab web page has a lot of that kind info in there. With my set up i can only replace the PH probe and i do that every 2 years.Thanks guys. I plan on using it in a RDWC epi full time. I did last run for 3 months straight. Probably back to back runs so the probes will never get a break. Sounds like I may be replacing probes yearly or more
Thanks Cap'n I'll check into that. If worse comes to worse I can bust out the old drops. Or boil up some red cabbage and make ph strips
but then with PPM I'd be blind.
Cost of Blue lab meters expensive. Cost of accurate and reliable info priceless.Thanks Cap'n I'll check into that. If worse comes to worse I can bust out the old drops. Or boil up some red cabbage and make ph strips
Agreed. For such a valuable crop, you shouldn't cheap out on the most crucial tools.
The best part is when you get used to good info from the meter you will need it less and less. If that makes any sense to you.
Yes it certainly does. I started getting that "a pinch of this, a dash of that" thing going on before I ran into lockout. I'm getting it back though, the tap water has been exercising my patience lol. I'm spoiled with RO where every tiny adjustment makes a difference. Plus the clean PPM slate is even more advantageous than I anticipated.
Yea if i remember right you are over 200 ppm with your tap. I am lucky now i just need to run a charcoal and sediment filter thru my tap . It comes out of the tap at 95 ppm so that's workable for me with out a RO system. Just on more thing you need to add to the never ending list things you need.
Yea like a 50K sq ft tilt up warehouse with 50 ft high lid and forklifts to move the plants on pallets.
, on a positive note another 1400watts of samsung f series goodness heatsinks and drivers are all on the way here, wallet is much lighter now lol got a shelf build planned out 2 500w 4x4 fixtures 100 watts of 4k strips for 2 levels of the shelf and a driver and 2 3500k strips to go on each side of my cob light bringing it up to 500w as well. Im hoping upping my light through the whole cycle should help a bit with plant health in general my chems really needed more in veg to beef up the roots a bit, much building on the way soon

) still have about 20 days to go maybe more. And the bonsai moms are frozen in time not growing much but not dying either they also are under 2x as much light as they were so expecting some growth from them as well but no hurry plenty of fire beans to pop 
lol
