TDS meter- Total Dissolved Solids
Welcome!

I got a lot of different views on reading different books. The crew here are pretty consistent with advice. There’s always more than one way to do something. So try one and if it works for you then you are good to go. If not try something different. When you post there is a “format” of what to include. And try to get some good pictures of a problem or success. This helps everyone help you when you need it. Have fun growing, and welcome!!

wood blockes may give a false pH reading of run off water…so make sure the wood does not have any presevatives in it…best to use inert material…i use 2inch plastic guttering. :sunglasses:

Do you rotate them into the sunshine ?..maybe a mirrror behind them would increase the light on the rear shaded leaves :sunny:

Your plants are looking good! Way to grow! It sounds like everything you are doing is good. You can always check your runoff with your tds meter. There may be some room to up your feeding (if you are not up to the maximum level according to the brand of nutrients you are using). If it were me, I would keep doing what you are doing because your plant looks healthy. If it aint broke dont fix it. Shout out to @SKORPION- I got the meters you are using. That was a good deal. Someone said they clean the sensors good and then put a moist sponge in and cap them. What if anything do you do fo those meters?

Nothing really special I replace mine often so lasting isn’t a big concern. I use them 2 to 3 grows then get a new set.

Broken egg shells work real well also.
