👉 It's ok. You can look

You’re very welcome. If the meter and the buffer solution are both good the meter shouldn’t read as high as 9 when stuck in a 7 buffer. If you calibrated a meter with a bad buffer it’ll throw all your measurements off. Your new meter calibrated with good buffer solution should have you golden again.
Happy growing!

Thanks @Cannanaut every thing is ordered now. When I test the new meter. I will check the other 2 I have as well. I am just starting this grow. So I would rather know this issue is good. I can get away with a little higher ph. But not lower. Getting near a 5.5 shows in the plants right away. I try to stay between a 5.7 and a 6.1 I see to be safe there.

@DaveySprocket here are my 8 for this grow. I have 2 replacements in rooters for the 2 bad ones in here. They will be about 2 weeks behind the others.

:grin: Well, After all these issues trying to get my ph meters calibrated. I broke down and got another pair. Another apera for the main and a cheepy for a back up. I checked the new and both were all ready right on. My other 2 were way, way off. Where I thought my ph was 6.0 in the rez. It was really 2.9 I am shocked the plants look as good as they do. I am slowly bringing the rez up to 5.9 I also checked my calibration fluid. The new against the 2 year expired stuff. Both show the same readings. Even the 4.0 shows that for both bottles. :grin: A couple more days and I get to add new pictures for the week. The 2 new ones should show later today or by tomorrow I would think. I hope the day has been good for every one. This warmer weather is definitly making me feel better :grin:

Thanks. And Since I know both meters are good. I can check the one I use to make sure it is still good if I have any doubts again. :grin: @Rsandds You are just in time for the new up date :grin:
So for this week. I will start with the newest pair. These 2 are replacements for the two 1 gallon ones that are not doing well. I am ready for these to get going so I can start mainlining them :grin:
These are a day old

Next are the Autos in the 5 gallon bags. These are 2 weeks old

Next are the photos in one gallon bags. The Cream & Cheese is only a week old. All the others are 2 weeks old. You can see the 2 that will be replaced. Second picture in the front. The BaddAzz Cookies looks like it has picked up a little. If it shows a little better next week. I will keep it and move it to the closet.

This is what the grow area looks like for this grow

Thats awesome. I grow in dwc. Will be starting to build my updated system soon as i finish this current harvest. Gonna be doing my first manifold. Kinda excited, not gonna lie :grin:

@Rsandds I have done a few before. This will be the first I really commit to. You should have @kaptain3d send you a few links to his grow. He has finished some right and also trains early to achieve similar results. :grin: My trouble is I always see how well they are growing. And get greedy. And end up with plants that look normal. My hopes are to avoid that this grow. And just grow colas for the 1 gallon kids. Here is a link to a grow he has going on now :grin:

Thanks for the tag @Not2SureYet :grin:
But I just torture my planties without any set plan in advanced usually. If you’re interested by real manifolds, check out @MeEasy 's journals.

Thanks @kaptain3d I thought I was following him at one time. I will have to take a little time to scroll through there. :grin:

Be careful you may never be the same afterwards! @kaptain3d is a lunatic and can be kinky when it comes to training! :rofl::joy:
