Thanks Riz, Im gonna go over and giver her just str8 water tonight. Should I just giver her mollases and water from here til harvest??? I mixed up the seeds at the begining so I dont know which is which but the one in the 6th photo is exploding! Wonder if thats the big devil, theres big devil, lowryder, ak47 and akr mixed in there. The bigger flowering lowryder has alot of trichs goin on. How long does lowryder norm take til harvest??

i'd say she's got a good bit to go, unless your aiming for an early chop i'd personally let her go until the trics tell you she's ready. for me thats 50/50 cloudy/amber :twist: so prolly another couple of weeks. You said you were trying to get some PH fluid. Get that asap and check the PH on another plain watering. Thats going to tell you whether the plant is underfed through lack of nutes in the soil or not able to get the nutes from the soil. It's going to be one or the other. If PH is on then you need to feed, if PH is off the food is already there and she can't get it so you'll then need adjust with adjusted watering.

well at least my oakton ph meter cannot be dried out. i'm not sure what type or brand that you use. but mine has a glass sensor which the manufacturers directions say...never let the glass sensor go dry, and always store in ph calibration solution, or at least some tap water. maybe yours doesn't need that. the good thing is...at least you got it back from the 3 year old, and the thing didn't become a security "blankey"! hahaha

I was using strips to test wild, and from what I've read they are not that accurate. And what do you mean, I have to keep the pen when not in use in the calibration fluid??? I think if it was a heat thing all the plants would have it, right?

lol its a cheap no name yellow one that I got off amazon for $12.00 has a glass thingy and a white sponge thingy on the end

i might take a guess and say the sponge thing should probably be kept moist. but i'm only guessing. i actually like the sponge idea, mine just has a huge cap with the ph solution in it, tip it over and the shit pours out! kinda pisses me off when i spill it, like all the time. i paid 100 bucks, and you paid 12 bucks...looks like maybe i got screwed! hahaha

Im sure yours is better but alot of people use this one, that why I bought it, and it was cheap, which was the best part.

I have the same one (on my 3rd one) it does the job, which is all you want it to do. make sure you calibrate it first, th first one I had was set perfect, 2nd was 0.2 high, 3rd was o.3 to low. If its not callibrated properly its not much use.


careull when you put the lid back on, I smashed the glass ball twice putting it on wonky

 

[jhnfrmrby420]

LOl, well glad its an ok one, now if the calibration fluid would get here we'd be in business...... Was wondering, Im trying to get some tips on setting up the dresser above in pics. Can I use a smaller watt bulb in a 400 HPS light setup? I would rather go HPS in the dresser but with heat problems in the big cab I def think it would be way too hot for a dresser. I gotta get the dresser goin got some situations that arose that I need to go stealth. Without spending money this is what I have to go with for the dresser. I have 12- 23 watt veg CFL's 8- 40 watt flower CFL's one true 65 watt flower cfl, an 8 inch inline duct fan from lowes, a 6 inch inline duct fan from lowes. Looked up on how to make small active carbon scrubbers for dresser but couldnt find anything. also need to make whatever fans I use to be quiet so It cant be heard that bad. Have no idea where to lay out exhaust holes, intake holes, etc I did alot of googling but nothing that matches exactly to what Im doin. Im gonna go over and see how the girls are doin in a bit, just gave the bigger flowering lowryder a drink of plain ole water until it just started to run off, see if shes doin any better or worse today. 2 weeks left and I just have to try and keep her healthy til then

Click this jhn.
It should be a "pictures result" from doing a google search for DIY carbon filter. Click em and you'll find more than one How-To.

making the fan quiet isn't too hard with a cardboard box and some expanding foam in a can.

Grab a box that the fan can fit in with space all around. cut the holes on either side of the box for a little dicting to fit through. take fan and ducting back out and put a layer of foam on the bottom of the box, place fan in box noting direction of air flow, take a marker and mark an arrow on the outside of the box showing direction. hook up yer little bots of ducting again. fill the space around the fan with a little foam to hold fan stead and then close the box. make 2 holes, one in each side near the top and stick the nozzle of the can in one and fill till the foam comes out the other hole. Leave to set and you have a virtually silent running fan. You can improvise with the foam, theres all sorts of things you can use instead.

I recommend you do not DIY a filter but get a pro one that can sit outside the dresser and have the air blowing out through it instead of in through it.
