Darn, I really hate it when you type for about 10 minutes then hit the back button on the mouse. Well here we go again, only shorter probably:

Especially during flowering it becomes important to keep the dark period as dark as possible. If you change the light schedule much you increase the possibilities of problems and hermies, although they are rare. In fact sometimes people do this on purpose, that is mess with the light cycle to create hermaphrodites. Itā??s my opinion that people in general make too big a deal about it. Iā??ve looked in on my flowering girls many times at night, and done work in there with lights on. Iā??ve never seen any ill effects. On the other hand I read something the other day that said if you keep your plants 100% light proof as opposed to 99%, your yield will be about 30% greater. I find this kind of hard to believe, just from my personal experiences. Just to be safe, I would keep dark, dark whenever possible.

Both Oakton and Milwaukee are great brands. If you have the money I would go with the Oakton. Itā??s probably built slightly better and will likely last a little (or a lot) longer, but either will probably do fine.

Truncheon is a style of meter, and the one you show there is a ā??knock-offā? of Bluelab. I recently bought both the Bluelab truncheon PPM and PH meter, and love them both. I thought they would be a little big, but it doesnā??t bother me. In fact I think I kind of like it. Lotsa neat flashing lights for stoners too. Very easy to use, very straight forward. The Bluelab brand truncheons are waterproof. I donā??t think the eBay add said that one was, but it might be anyway. I would think this is kind of important. Itā??s real nice not to have to ever worry about if Iā??m putting the meter too far in the solution. Not sure how durable that brand is (canā??t tell what it is), but the Bluelabs are durable (the PPM meter). They say you can use it to stir your solution, and their video showed them dropping it on purpose. In general I believe you get what you pay for, but there are great deals too. I just donā??t know. The Blue lab is about $150 for a good deal, or $180 otherwise. Love the auto on/off. Nope, sorry, thatā??s the PH meter. The PPM meter is $110, or $135.

Done correctly, this set up is one of the highest yielders. Let me clarify what I meant about little water. In my opinion the best way to superfast growth and healthy plants is to supply the roots with as much oxygen as possible. This means that no matter what your setup, soil, soilless, hydro or whatever, you do not want your roots sitting in water. MJ is not a marsh or pond Rating: 5
