    I've yet to invest in blue labs tech. Been using the cheapo pens for years. Prob average 1 new one per year.
    Cocos pretty cheap and u can reuse it if you want. I use the canna a and b, cal mag, and pk. I buy vitalink ph up and down.

    I also use liquid silicone, tho its not a must and is pretty expensive for the brand I was using. Just bought some cheaper stuff by growth technology so gonna see how that goes.

    Daily watering in flower is a chore. I use a 30 quid watering system off amazon for my two so I just have to mix a 15 litre feed every 5 or 6 days

    If you had asked me a month ago I would have said, you would need a descent Ph/EC pen if growing in coco, but over the last month using Mega Crop I am seriously beginning to wonder if that advice is sound. After a month using it the EC and Ph of my reservoir are stable, and I haven't used a drop of Ph up or down.

    I think thou this is highly dependent on the nutes you use, most hydro nutes require a Ph of 5.5 to 6.5, and you find you will need to adjust Ph to get into that range.

    All I can say thou is with Mega Crop the Ph is stable pretty much when mixed, my plants are healthy

    Proof of the pudding is in the eating thou, not in the mixing, so I will reserve total judgement until harvest
    I see a one mix nute regime as insurance. Give up a small % of potential yield to guarantee no ec or pH problems. Removing a negative is the same as adding a positive.

    As long as heat doesn't become a problem, it's worth a try. Previous grows at this stage with my 40% rvk were in the low 30's.

    Keeping the climate perfect can get expensive. I'm fine with a less than ideal climate as long as it is stable. It was always <16'C and RH80% in my cellar, I got used to it.

    If changing fan speed controls humidity and my c/h has the lowest temps 20'C, the climate will be good enough for me.

    Same here bud as long as it’s not too high or too low I’m not too fussed but I’ve been wondering if that’s why my weed is coming out shite, I clocked before my light was turned on it’s lowest setting instead of halfway think that’s why my temps were lower duh
