Day 25
1200 ml of 1/2 distilled and 1/2 tap PH to 6.3 and PPM 124 going in. Runoff is PH 6.2 PPM 186. I had roughly 250 ml of runoff. Should I increase PH slightly on next watering/feeding? PH going in has been a steady 6.5 the past couple of weeks.

Crap… I’ve been bending the top leaves daily so the FIM could get light. Went to bend again tonight, and SNAP. Broke it. 
R.I.P.
@MoneyPit. Girls look really good. Sorry bout the fan.
I kinked a stem tonite moving things around. It can happen so easy.
Peace

I upgraded my diffuser today since I’ll be turning the big light on soon. The big light heats up the tent and lowers humidity. The 40 watt CFL overhead and 16 watt LED sidelight have done well.
This bad boy holds 2 liters, 12" tall and 6" round at bottom. Inside tent 76° 72% RH … the room the tent is in 78° 62% RH. Lights off 1 hour ago.

FIM is a method to create up to 4 new tops. Legend says someone attempted to “top”, but didn’t remove enough. (So he said Fhuck I Missed)
F.I.T. is just something I made up that day. I thought I cut too much… Fhuck I Topped.
Example of each method…

Day 32 since popped out of dirt
Turned the Viparspectra 450 on to see how she reacts. (202 actual watts as measured with Kill-a-watt.) Temp 85° 62% RH inside tent. (RH a little low)
Gave her a big girl feeding today. GH Gro/Micro/Bloom + CalMag and some Silicon for dessert.
PH 6.7 PPM 119??? (My PPM meter has taken a crap already. My tap water is 300+ by itself. )
Cali is growing…
F.I.M. job

Anybody have recommendations on a good PPM meter? This is what I have. Despite description, it DOES have temp compensation.

The meter you’re using is just fine, but if you want a really good one then this is the one I use and recommend:

Ok WTF is going on here? My tap water is reading 251 PPM. Why is my PPM lower after adding the nutes/CalMag?
There seems to be a problem with your pen if it’s reading lower with nutes. Have you calibrated it?
