I got my seeds two days ago, so elected for shotglass. after 36 hours, no tail. they both had a drop of H2O2. So yesterday I turned my light on and put clear plastic bags over grow sacks. Today temp and humidity are 81F and 86rH under bag. I got a little concerned that no changes had shown up on seeds. They weren’t in the grow tent, just in ambient temp in the room. But I know that in the grow tent, in the sacks, those are optimum conditions for temp and humidity. So I made a little hole in the soil in each growsack and now they are planted. The light is making nice heat! And the little bit of plastic over grow bags is super humidity for sure. All input welcome! I just didn’t want to fiddle with the seeds anymore…
Hi and welcome to the community. the one thing that stcks out most to me is the Ph/light /moisture meter they are worthless and with G.H nutes you will need a PH meter the Apera PH20 does a good job you will also need a ppm meter. general hydropontics has a good site listing week to week nutes.good luck
Ordered the Apera . thanks! have seen that. the other will be returned. I need a pH meter for cheesemaking anyway. lol. true. got the week to week nutes on a spreadsheet also, will double check the site for accuracy… appreciate it!
Welcome to the family! Something you won’t see unless you read the Apera 20 operations guide. They recommend storing the probe in the pH 3 solution - unless that has changed since I bought mine a year ago.
@Edgewater21 Awesome to hear. Old lab rat here. Had to store the $200 probe in the vendor’s solution or warranty was voided. Hard to break old habits.
Get the storage solution for meter, you’ll want it. Vipar p2000 is a little small for 2x4, but you can make do with it for now. Also not familiar with exhaust fan, hopefully will do what you need it to.
Good luck with ur grow i hope the best with it every thing seems to be in order ,i will let u in on something dont over think ur grow seriously cause u will end up micro managing it and you will end up making mistakes if u make to complicated you will get over whelmed with it ,so just relax take a deep breath and use the k.i.s.s method on that note i wish u all the best in ur journey of growing and can u tag me i would like to follow ur grow
Hey I’m new to site and needing advice how can I message u a question? I’ve read several of ur posts and am hoping u can help me as I’m first time grower. Thx.
I am first time grower, I will be starting a 2x4 grow tent with 2 plants in hydro system. I know this might be dumb question but can u help me with a a to z list of everything I would need. Any info and advice will help
Ok thx, also I will be growing in my apartment closet my closet 7ft by 6ft so my 2x4 tent fit with room, wat would u suggest for the odor control system.
Do not store probe in distilled water or deionized water because they will
cause damage to the glass membrane of the pH probe. The probe should
be stored in 3M KCL solution for best accuracy or stored without any
liquid.
if in closet (I ALMOST did that) make sure you can access all the vents and openings. That is why mine is not in a closet. butyours should give you some room. As for odor, I am not worrying about that, but most setups use an inline carbon filter in the ducting system…
