=SnSstealth;1825056]thanks for the kind words all.......WH thanks for the advice, testing the Ph later today...

blah blah....found out the Ph test isnt simply stick n read...lol, gettin to it today, deciphering the directions...hope thats it....hasnt gotten any worse since i trimmed fan leaves and flushed...testing Ph anyway....harvest should be around beginning of may...dunno with the cross...maybe late apr or mid may....ill let the girls tell e when they are ready

i tried one of those too. they don't work all that great you'd get more accurate readings just testing ph of the runoff from each pot. looking hgood though:twocents:

woohoo i got five bucks... they had the trays on them, but as WT told me at the start that they would not work for MJ, we pulled them off prior to planting. we did however cover 4 of the 8 holes on bottom and set them on the clear plastic trays. put an inch to an inch and a half of rock then soil. we watered, settled and planted.

Really hope its not PH as it could show up in all of them if thats the case. we'll work on her today, though she seems to be doing better after the flush and attention shes gotten. thanks again:thumbsup:

thanks D, Can I get a liquid PH meter at the DEPOT or do i need to find a garden shop?

Hey stealthy crew...just wondering if you'd figured out your electric billz for these bad boys. I'm guessing somewhere around 15-20 bucks per month for the three lights?

thats about right, no higher. I want to wait for summer to do an accurate test. On and off cold fronts make it hard to judge against last year.

you can find liquid pH test kits at aquarium supply shops or in the fish tank section of a decent department store.

Uncover those holes!!! More drainage=happier plants. Think how much more comfy Birkenstocks are than muck boots...

Everyone says those don't work, but I bought one a few days ago when I was planting my blueberries (real ones). Did you know that they prefer soil PHd to 4.5? And you thought MJ liked acid. Anyway, that soil PH tester seems to work just fine for me. You just have to make sure you follow the directions. Like SnS said, you can't just stick it in and read it.

Then my damn dog pulled out half the friggen blueberry bushes. Anyone want an expensive Chesapeake Bay Retriever?

hey opie I do know how to read directions, put the probe down to root level, & waited . I just think the runoff would be more accurate.. to each his own...

later D :S5:

I been following this thread quietly but I'm realy amped. Hope it turns out well for you. Maybe it will spark the LED revolution in growing and the proffesional grow lights will become a bit cheaper. LED clusters are cheap to put together oneself but theres the problem of getting the right light wavelengths. On that note has anyone been able to get that graph showing the correct wavelengths for cannabis from the High Times mag?
It sucks being in South Africa because it's realy difficult to get hold of any copies

Just dropping by to say thanks for doing this grow, and props on getting your letter into High Times May 2008 issue.:thumbsup:

Not that it means much, but there is more to it on my directions.

Ditto. I'm tired of begging. Nobody who has the chart has a digital camera or scanner?
