Starting my 2022 indoor grow

Right on Brother, have you used it to check your water source TDS? :love_you_gesture:

That’s a great idea!!!:joy::joy::joy: that’s why you make the big bucks!!! I will do that now. I’ve already pushed through 6 gallons of water on my Blue Dream and the RO is just now down to 7.5. I am going in with boiled tap water cooled of course with a 5.9ph. Last gallon I checked and my ppm was 374 at one point it was 1572​:flushed::flushed::flushed::flushed:

Water source is 265 the ph is 10.1 so I bet you noticed the new gallon of ph down I bought too​:joy::joy:

Wow that PH is high! Sure the pen is calibrated?? Had to ask :joy:. Your water source TDS isn’t bad, at 400-500 I would be concerned :love_you_gesture:

So, I finally have all three of my plants out of toxic shock and hopefully mending towards a healthy ph in my soil. Turns out my ph meter was not calibrated and I was about 40 seconds from my batteries dying. Bought a new meter calibrated it even though it said it was calibrated on the package. My ph wasn’t too high it was TOO LOW!!! My PPM’s were stratospheric. So flushed everyone hard with 8.2ph water and I’ll be watering every 3 days with 7.8 ph until I reach that 6.8 target on my runoff. Of course this is my wife’s vacation week so our itinerary is a mile long. I’ll post some pics of my sick plants tonight. At least I’m on the correct path now. “Lamont you Big Dummy!!!”

I know where you got that. Man that was a funny show. Watch the reruns occasionally.

Fred Sanford kept everyone in check. That show was hilarious. I remember when I was finally old enough to watch those shows and didn’t realize the comedic genius of shows from that 60’s 70’s genre until I was much older. Things flew over my head that I can easily discern today and I laugh harder at it.

Nice work on getting those ladies back in check. In your flush I would be happy with 6.2 knowing I could increase this with each watering or feeding to hit that 6.5 sweet spot. Man do I get the dilemma of personal plans and plant love :love_you_gesture:

Just dropped $256 on our anniversary dinner. We went to Capriccio in Downtown Providence. Great food great atmosphere.


Gotta show the mistakes too!!! @OGIncognito thank you for all your help and step by step guide to get me back on the straight and narrow. Much appreciated brother!!! Glad things are beginning to turn around. Got the Gorilla Glue at 6.0ph on the runoff so right now she is the lowest. Man did I almost F this up. Went and bought calibration solution today. I will calibrate my ph meter weekly from now on!!!

Right on Brother, don’t beat yourself. They’re not looking bad and will turn around quick. I’ve fried 1 or 2 before to the point of no return or so I thought :love_you_gesture:

Received my first Auto beans yesterday. Going to be running Wedding Cake autos next grow. I’m stoked to give them a shot. Thank you @ILGM.Support

Things are still looking yellow but have improved considerably. I took a slow regimental watering/feeding schedule. Took my TDS down to 240ish while giving a gallon of ph water every two days. Just gave them a 2 gram feeding of FloraFlex V1/V2 with 7.2 ph water. Now I will allow them to dry and give another 2 gram feeding with 7.0 ph water. I believe this will be my optimal water-in reading.

Gave them another feeding today. Ph was still low but getting better the TDS was in the 640’s to 720’s on all 3. Ph runoff was 6.2, 6.2, 6.0.

I know the feeling! I down sized when I moved back in March and loosing 2 grow spaces is Kill’n me :joy:. I’m constantly brainstorming on how to create another incognito/covert tent or cabinet. Thinking of running 6-8 in a 1 gallon with a SOG grow in the 2 x 4 cabinet in a few months. I need to get the aero grow going and hopefully to harvest :pray::pray::love_you_gesture:
