The dungeon has been getting down to 62°F at night, and 72°F with the lights on, so I figured it was time to hook up the natural gas space heater. So far just the pilot light was enough to raise the temperature 5°.

Looking good. Is that heater vented outdoors?

Well, the second of my el cheapo EC meters seems to be bust. Probably my fault. When I shook it off, the end cap came off in my hand, and you might have guessed it, it took a brief swim in ~1200EC nutes. Did I mention that the cap covering the electrics was still in my hand?

I gave it a thorough rinse, and dried it out, but alas, it is apparently stuffed. It reads nicely, but is 1.25X the real EC in solution, and calibration will not move it down. Ah well. That is it for me, the one in the mail shortly is the Apera equivalent of my Apera PH meter. Which, by the way, is still dead accurate (6.87 in 6.86 calibration solution) after over a year of use. It has never once required calibration, every time I checked, it was too close to bother changing. So, an Apera EC meter is on the way. I could buy several of the cheaper ones for the price, but I am done with the hassle. Odds are that the Apera will be good as long as I am still doing this stuff.

Happy metering peeps. May your meters keep metering forever and ever...

Probably going on 2 years with my apera EC meter and it's still spot on

@Saltysparrows made cannabis Infused pumpkin bars and sent me to work with them for a select few people to share with.

My coworker that barely smokes weed and that I know doesn't eat breakfast ate one out of the fridge without asking this morning, then took off to start the morning scheduled jobs without us being able to tell him what he just ate.

This day is gettin' REAL!

Poor bugger - have you heard how it went? That might have resulted in some down time in an emergency room.

Glad to hear it. I hope mine gets here before too long - in the meantime I will have to calibrate and correct manually every time I use the existing one. It is consistent, at least during one testing session, I just don't trust it to maintain the same relative error between uses, and I am not going to let the bugger do any damage. Damn good thing that I caught the problem when I did.

You don't measure your inputs by weight or volume? I mostly use the EC pen to check when I up my nutes. My only issue with it is it's the exact same body and color as the pH pen and I was constantly grabbing the wrong one

My ph meter has the lanyard on it for this reason only
