Well that's it from me for tonight folks, cordial made, chicken and veg pie made and eaten, 5 bowlsful of washing up done over the course of the evening, time for bed. Night night! and peace to all.

I actually scrubbed my $6 ebay ph pen with a toothbrush instead of just swirling it in soapy water and it seems to be working again.

How do you calibrate, Dm? I ask because those bulbs are Uber sensitive, and both those methods are pretty rough treatment.
Also, both the calibration fluid and the storage fluid do have a shelf life.
I had a new grower a couple of years ago who's plants were beyond hammered, (I think he wound up culling them), every indication of severe lock out. But his pH was apparently spot on.
A fellow member finally caught the real problem: the calibration was so far off on his meter that he was basically adjusting to the low 5's
All I'm suggesting is make sure you trust it before you depend on it.

I'm a big fan of the saying "Wherever you're at, there you are"

I calibrated with 4 and 7 solutions which I just got. And it was fine with those but for some reason it wouldn't read between like 6-6.7 so after scrubbing with a toothbrush and soapy water I tested a glass of tap water 7.1 and just kept adding a drop of ph down at a time to verify it would read between 6 and 6.7 and all is well. I'm saving money for lights so not having to drop $$ on a new meter helps a lot.

Awesome! You're ahead of where I started, Brother. I had to use those soil test kits and try to figure out what color it had turned. Arrrg!! lol
Lights are a huge priority, good on ya!

Solstice I hit the 50 mark tomorrow damn it goes fast,it is amazing how far along we are with marijuana. I remember when it was green or brown (usually) seeded mexican brick weed or hermie weed lol.

Dude you can say that again! I took an Incredible Bulk Auto days ago and finally jarred it up today and smoked some...

I have never in all the strains I've grown EVER had a strain that tastes like fresh cut flowers. Lol especially since it is a flower technically lol and its sooooo damn tasty! New territory of terp profiles and I'm loving it!!
