Hey Rusty
yes you are right that is what us newbies suffer from..lol..i only have a couple of other grows under my belt so i am certainly a newbie. I have never tackled a ph problem and i guess i never really paid attention to runoff color. but i know Stinky said something about color in her how to post but i couldn't follow what was meant except it seemed like it was saying dark runoff was no good. i am phing my water with ph down and just gave them half strength nutes since the flush. she just looks hungry.
thanks for chiming in if you have some advice or insight i am all ears or in this case eyes oh i am going to research the Milwaukee test pen thanks for the tip.
fishens Reviewed by fishens on . runoff color??? I have read Stinky's tutorial on checking ph using runoff. I certainly have had my share of ph problems this time. When I discovered my tap was over 8, I flushed 4 gal with clearex ph adjusted followed by a 1/4 strength feed. But runoff is still dark..too dark to use the liquid ph tester with. So does this mean I need to flush until the runoff is more clear? Much thanks to any one who can help. Rating: 5
