I can make another thread for seeds if @Moe.Red is ok with thatSeeds too, or just equipment?
I bought a variety of "cactus seeds" from wish or something, after a month wait i got my seeds. put them in....Seed swapping is fine. This forum is a conduit, any seed swaps are directly between users, so don't blame us when your cannabis seeds produce cucumbers and sunflowers.
Gone to a new homeOpen to anyone that wants it, all i ask is you cover shipping and it can be yours! View attachment 16945
I use a cheap ph pen and test strips to check my pens accuracy......If I read 6.5 and the strip is close then thats' good enough for me.Wanted: pH pen/probe that works lol.
This Phenol red shit is not accurate enough (color shade test)
Just thought I'd ask, if anyone has any decent pH pen/probe that sits around unused, as if it's an older one/got a newer one or so.
Could pay shipping and for the meter - looking for a discount lol
Otherwise may just get one of the cheaper apera pens after move
ive used those cheap 10$ blue red/orange ones, didnt take long for me to mishandle them and keep them accurateI use a cheap ph pen and test strips to check my pens accuracy......If I read 6.5 and the strip is close then thats' good enough for me.
I've about 20 used fabric bags I won't be using any longer, If theres anyone in my area that wants them they're all yours
Hey! It was a perfectly honest mistake!Seed swapping is fine. This forum is a conduit, any seed swaps are directly between users, so don't blame us when your cannabis seeds produce cucumbers and sunflowers.
Anyone use any "apera instruments"I've used Bluelab meters almost exclusively. Most will last me years as long as I rinse them after use and don't slam them on the floor or let the dog chew on them. That and I calibrate before a new crop.
I use 2 Apera’s my original one is their cheaper model but still calibrates fine. Cost was about $60. Biggest negative about it is the pH probe can’t be replaced!Anyone use any "apera instruments"
I use a cheap ph probe and test strips.....I don't need 100% accuracy I just need a close reading........if my ph tester reads 6.0 and my strips are close in color wtf......what more do I need? does it matter if its off a point or 2? not in my world.I have the bluelab meter (gaurdian I believe) that stays in my res and their pens for backup. Freshly calibrated and they still read .2-.3 different. I have just been using the meter's probe. I pull it from my res when I mix a new batch of nutes just for consistency. I was using the pen for new batches but with the difference, I was having to adjust way too much once I filled my res. Which one is correct? I dont know. I don't wanna get a third to double check.
My meter's probe grows gunk on it so I have to clean it off every couple days. The gunk hasn't messed with it's readings unless I let it get out of hand. My next grow, I'll be replacing the probe, though, just in case.
It might not be that big of a deal for me, either, but after a res change, I can see a drop of .5 or more. If I'm starting .2 or .3 lower than I think, that .5 could be way too low by the time I get off work and could amend.I use a cheap ph probe and test strips.....I don't need 100% accuracy I just need a close reading........if my ph tester reads 6.0 and my strips are close in color wtf......what more do I need? does it matter if its off a point or 2? not in my world.
All of my grows have been in peat based mediums...Promix and such and I think plants are more tolerable to ph swings grown in it compared to coco.....I really don't pay too much attention to it. I check it occasionally just to see where its at...With my auto pots anything between 6.0 & 6.5 seems good...It might not be that big of a deal for me, either, but after a res change, I can see a drop of .5 or more.

You do you Pipe. You're recent grow is full of beautiful flowers, so I wouldn't change it up if I were you.![]()
I have an Apera SX610. Paid 50 $ on Amazon. And you can get replacement probe for 25$.Anyone use any "apera instruments"
Seems perfectly reasonable to me and definitely cheaper than 2 pens. I am seriously overly OCD about most things in general but as long as you have a second reference to check a pen with if something seems off and/or the pen is acting up that’s all that is needed.

I would love to get probes instead that set in a res but not for nowI have the bluelab meter (gaurdian I believe) that stays in my res and their pens for backup.
