I have been a member for a couple of weeks now, and have picked up some great information reading through the posts and numerous replies answering a good deal of my questions as a newbie grower. I posted my grow progress with the pertinent ticket information, pics, and a few questions. Then I waited excitedly to get some wisdom from experienced growers. Then I posted a reply asking if anyone can help. Alas! Someone replied! With a question of light distance, which I eagerly answered. Then I waited excitedly for some insight…nothing. Hmm. Maybe a second post in a different topic area may work? And so I did, and added a link to my first post. Hmm. Nothing. Still waiting. Is this forum worth it? Not sure if it is because I haven’t made an order, or I’m doing something incorrect. Thoughts? Suggestions? Answers? Is there anyone out there? ---

Should keep it all in same post. Ask direct questions. Seems you may be using a moisture meter ? You mention sat which is ? A reading on a 2 prong garden meter ? I’m a hydro grower but I’m willing to bet your ph is to low for soil and you shouldn’t be flushing weekly. ---

Sorry to hear about your lack of responses , I normally try to reply to all new posts with few responses. I must have missed it, so i see a moisture meter comment. I hate those things I complained and got a full refund on those. , also have advised many who have drown there plants listening to one of those meters. How far along are you in your grow? Could you post the info again. ---

Thanks for your replies. I think maybe I was just too impatient. To both of your ?s…yes I’m using a moisture meter, thus the soil sat data. I haven’t given anything for 8 days, the soil really dried out, and the plants still look fine other than the twisting. My conclusion is the meter sucks, and I was overwatering. I think I’ll make my reply to your questions on my original post, since the details are there…please check that post… “First grow Purple Queen @ 60 days” Thanks again! ---

You can also tag members using the @ sign ahead of their handle. If you posted in the wrong category it will simply get buried in all of the other posts. ---
