heres the GSC i told you about @Dr. Babnik , she started growing side branches when i raised her up a little higher to the COB and now is growing branches and not just vertical growth

thank you very much EE!

oh yes it is pop! i have my other 3 mars lamps in the closet as well! i did use my 1 reflector 192 for my photo room but that will be replaced when i have the money for another COB unit.

on a side note about the grow the one tangie is showing some mag Def. and the Green crack is doing worse with Cal Mag Def. pH has somehow dropped to 5.4-5.6 in the Autopots even tho the Res is sitting at 5.9-6..... im completely baffled AGAIN!

This grow, I've been holding my res to 6.2 to 6.3 and I've not had so much as a spot on my plants. I decided that seeing 80% of the time ph issues are from ph dropping low, I'd run higher to begin with. I've been convinced for a long time people run hydro ph too low to begin with. Its also a fact that some of the most detrimental bacteria/fungi thrive in low ph, especially below 5.6. This is where a quality PH probe pays off. My Extech is accurate to about .01 I believe

I try to keep my res at 6.0 so what I normally do is when I mix my feeds it comes to 5.8 sometimes 5.7 and I'll add it to my res and within a couple hours it creeps up by .1-.2 in abut 6-12 hrs right to 6.0... I just cleaned and recalibrated my pH meter last week but for some reason I think it is still off... I flushed her with 200 PPM of Cal Mag plus and some drip clean and the pH just really won't budge. I ran 6 gallons through the autopot. I guess I'll just have to wait a day and see if the flush did anything or not I really don't know...

Here they are @pop22 looking sad huh?
1st is the green cracking I was talking about

Next is cindy jack just starting to show problems

tangier showing problems but still praying???

 

[pop22]

sure looks like lockout. maybe time for a new meter? I ruined a grow with a bad meter

im hoping not to ge a new meter but if i need one then so be it.. im gonna see if i can find one of my old cheap meters and calibrate that and do a side by side... my newer one is a Bluelab pH pen and is like $80 and im low on Mammoth P which sets me back another $80

 

[pop22]

Do the Bluelabs have a replacable probe? I spend $50 a year to replace mine annually whether it needs it or not. And its calibrated when I install the new probe. I've stopped re-checking, its never off!
