And here we go my first indoor grow

When I used R/O water for my aquarium it made the water extremely soft which makes it very easy to change the pH. The pH can drop very low, or go very high because the water is no longer buffered, so you can get wide readings in a very short period of time – like in a single day.

I needed it because NYC water is extremely hard with lots of minerals – bad for certain aquariums, but good if you need to keep the pH steady.

I would calibrate the meter to be sure, but 3.1 pH is not out of range for R/O systems.

Hmm, not sure I helped, but hey, it’s my two-cents for ya. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Oh a just to clarify my run off drop to 3.1 not my water I started with ph 6.1 that I watered plant with
I’ll be heading home soon hopefully I’ll have time to check all this out thanks all

Then I would definitely calibrate the meter, luv.

Ok so I just got home checked on the ladies
These are the two I’m having questions on the bigger one came out looking a little off she has gotten some of her color back since I last feed her the smaller one also has some color issues as thought it was a nut issue
Plants are supposed to be gorilla glue
I have a lot of these seeds figured I would learn on them b4 speanding $ on seed just to mess up lol
Any way soil is organic potting soil no added nutts
Bought locally
Tent temp in tent is 75.5 f and 55.5% humidity day
70f and 55% humidity night
On average
Been feed low dose of ff liquid trio
Start with 1/3 strength with cal mag added and 1 tea spoon epsom salt to nutt mix
My water ph is normally between 6.1 and 6.3
Checked my ph meter as recommended
No way to calibrate set at factory
It’s a professional ph meter and I followed breakin directions as per mfg

So I trust its readings
Last check run off was 7.3

I looked up your meter looks pretty good but I would buy an inexpensive bottle of 7.0 test solution just to be safe

Thanks @Paranorman
ill do that asap and I’ll pick up a cheap 20$ meter when I pick up recommended ppm meter

I wouldn’t pick up another meter myself, already been down that road, checking one against the other continually but they never read the same and you always wonder which one’s right, madness!

Plus you can replace the bulb if it starts going out of whack on yours, and that’s another reason you want the test liquid then you’ll know that it’s always right

I apologize if you already mentioned it (or if it’s in the title of this thread) but what strain are they? … they do look pretty good! How old are they ?

They are bag seeds supposed to be gorilla glue
Last outdoor was sticky icky before something got at them and ate most of the plant but

My boy gave me like 200 seeds so I’ll learn on them before buying any high grade seeds from here :+1::ok_hand:
And the plants where potted nov15 so almost 4weeks old

The girls look really nice and compact.

I am of the ‘wait and see school’ and if these are just practice plants, well… I’d wait and see. The little guy does look like she has some nute deficiency, but hey, you’ve got 200 seeds! LOL!

And by the way, I haven’t seen a seed in my weed since the 90s. Where is everyone getting all this seeded weed from? I WISH some of my weed had seeds in it.

Well I think my friends supplier screwed up with his grow some how and decided to put it out there anyway because I smoked the stuff the seeds came from and it was spot on just loaded with seeds lol
And I haven’t go smoke with seeds in it forever until I got these :+1:
But hey lucky me :grin:
And they are practice but I still would like to have healthy plants and a nice harvest if possible that’s why we are all here right :sunglasses:.
I’ll give them some time and see I’m in no rush
They are almost 4 weeks old so

If it were me, I would just let it go just to see what happens. I mean, I wouldn’t try to fix her, but maybe I’m a bit of a sadist. :smiling_imp:

Exactly! Just experiment, 'cause you never know what you might discover. Plus it will be great experience.

Oh, and keep a really good journal on it.
