    Default Answered: Ph testing your water

    I buffer my pens so know they are on point. Notice some plants got some burn which I know is from the ph being out. Know that as I've seen it before when a pen was out. Know this pen isn't as I buffer it and test it. What I do notice though is sometimes if the ph reads too high, ill add some more ph down and check again and the ph hasn't moved. It's almost as if taking a second reading when needed is a change it'll be wrong.

    Say you check your water and need to add some more ph down. Do you rinse your pen under water before putting it in too check again?

    Only a slight burn on some of the plants leaf. Nothing major and I know its from the plants I watered second time round. I even remember quite a lot of ph down accidentally went into the water and I remember thinking its got too be reading wrong as it showed it hadn't moved as much.

    They ain't fucked up too bad and luckily I can pin point the exact cause. Is just 3 now that are still staying heavy bit longer than I would like. Hopefully won't be too long till I'm flipping them.

    knowing the cause is what it's all about Bazil, when you control everything so well it can only be a few things that's outta whack,
    you'll have em sorted in no time,

    Cheers mate, ain't really an issue well I hope not lol . I'm just kicking myself a bit for being a bit silly and not just pouring the water out and starting again. Live n learn though ay.

    All but 3 got light enough for a hand feed, still not watering too run off just yet even though plenty of roots. Want the other 3 to catch up first. Is taking about 2 days until they need their next watering. Once I get that to the stage where they are drinking daily I will up the amount I give them. If I watered to run off now I reckon it might take bit too long for them to need their next watering. Shouldn't be far away from all that though. My mate saw them and is saying flip now but honestly I rather go by the roots n how they are drinking than plant size. Promise I will upload a photo tomorrow know I keep saying it but I will.

    that sounds like a long time for coco to dry 2 days, when i was in the wilma system i was flooding em for 15mins 3 times a day
    and even that didn't seem enough,

    ain't no point in flipping yet if they aren't fully established,

    always noticed clones took longer to fully root than seeds though,
    strangely enough lol

    Yeah think I made the mistake of taking the drippers out bit too soon where I was in a rush. The plants aren't a bad size though and is plenty of roots. Soon as these last 3 get light enough for a watering I'm gonna water till run off and see how long it takes. Will show Yahoo tomorrow I promise lol

    Shit photo but I said I'd take one lol. New growth no burn marks as expected. By tomorrow all of the plants will need a watering which will be increased a little bit more. Even think at least 1 of the slow drinkers will need a hand watering maybe even two. Will just be this one increase and then ill water until run off. Anyway poor photo but I'm thinking one more week and should be flipped.
