No EC pen ,2 shots of magnical in veg ,1 in early flower ,obviously A and B and pk 13/14 from week 3 till flush on the well know tapered pk feed ...and PH every feed to 6.0 or where ever it reads close to 6.0....no true control but don't half make life easy ...not exact but easy

This looks exactly like the Aqualine EC one. I wasn’t looking to spend £50 - £60 on one but I might have to look to spend a bit on the tools side for current grow. I spent a bit on the pruning and curing on the last grow so at least I won’t have to spend on the last stages and make each subsequent grow a bit of an improvement
