I used and loved Milwaukee instruments in my aquariums.
Good stuff just like inkbird~!
Phsyched to see what you do.

 

[Scotty 420]

Haha yeah. I looked it up expecting a red 18v ph controller

LOL admittedly I thought the same thing

 

[Habosabin]

Are these peristaltic pumps supposed to work with the pH meter? I'm guessing since they're the same brand they are part of a system?

A sensor is supposed to connect to the controller. But I didn't actually see it included.

Depending on how those pumps dose you may need to dilute the pH down to gain finer control.

The res looks way better today than it did yesterday. Not sure what was going on. If it happens on next change I'll add more hydroguard again.

 

[Habosabin]

I feed every two days. It seem to be in it's best mood 24hr after feeding. This isn't a strain that shows trichomes at 2 weeks. But it has a lot of solid bud sites along the branch. This strain is very vigorous and I'm hoping the buds grow as happy as she is now.

 

[Habosabin]

Im running 180 watts right now for the curious. 70cm x 70cm. I thinks that's 5.1sf.
DLI looks to be around 40 to 45 via Photone on my iPad.

 

[Habosabin]

Here is the info on the strain from the breeder. Says the plant is strong and vigorous and loves light. Flowering is 63 days on the long end let's hope she's close by then.

 

[Habosabin]

Here is the moisture lvl of the media over a 7 day period. The spikes are my waterings every 48 hrs. I use a $30 ecowitt moisture meter with wifi base to see on my phone. I think the wifi portion is $45 or 50. Yup. Habosabin budget high tech shed grow by the river.

 

[Habosabin]

On another note kali pge is raising electric rates 10 to 13%. I pay about $650(equivalent) in electricity per month already. My solar contributes $250 and I pay additional $400 per month!! I have to be in some sort of simulation testing my sanity.

Here is the picture of the mother and another clone that was started in a tent then brought outside. They look so different. The full outside one has long leafy buds. The smaller clone is expressing citrus undertones.View attachment 22968View attachment 22969View attachment 22970View attachment 22971View attachment 22972

Nice little slice of paradise you got their.

Nice pattern.

30$ for a moisture meter?

Haven't looked into em yet but that's doable.

That or manually weighing and measuring and jotting it down and comparing.

Thanks.

This really helps me understand what's going on in the media. It's interesting to see the second day drop so fast.

If you don't get the wifi part it comes with a lcd wireless receiver.

This helped me with my rockwool immensely. Hempy so far is way more forgiving and the plant seems to thrive in it.

You can see it in the bucket. It's green and I have tape over the red led. It uses 1 aa and I haven't had to change it yet. This is second grow with it.

Holy fuck

My lst bill was 300 but should be around 200 if shit wasn't fucked I think

Think my AC isn't performing as efficiently for example and it's running longer even when lights are off during the day and it's only 90 outside....

Might need a checkup and tune. Rates here are triple between 4pm and 9pm. And now they are going to raise it 13%.

Damn, sorry

I couldn't afford any more bill raises rn

I received the ph controller today. Looks like everything but the instructions. The sensor was included. I plugged it in and the motor works. I just need to figure out how to pump the ph and how much it doses. My res is only 10 gallon so will have to see how much it changes on dosing.

Awesome.

whats the Green thing called?

 

[Habosabin]

I think it's a hydrostatic pump. It pumps like an inch a second. Everything is dial controlled.

 

[Habosabin]

I use the h&g osmosis ph stabilizer and my ph has been pretty solid. Takes like a day stabilize then it holds well. The auto system will be cool at res change for sure.

 

[Habosabin]

So this is what I did. My res is at 5.8(may not be exact) I installed ph controller and set trigger at 8 and dropped sensor in and uncalibrated was 6.2 was on the controller. I squirt some ph up and it goes to 6.3. I then manually turn the dial slowly until it kicks on. I diluted the pH down 1 to 3 ro. Pumps continously until the sensor changes from 6.3. Mine dropped into the 5s and then after sufficient mix settled to 6.2.

I was using these 500ml squirt bottles to dose before I got the controller and these tubes fit perfectly over those squirt tips.

Pics of the setup are always appreciated.

So it's holding steady? I thought they were called peristaltic pumps?

OK. Don't laugh. My setup is so janky.

You are right. I wasn't sure what the name of the pump. It didn't say the description but it was larger than I thought. It's holding steady at 6.2.

I am in serious need of a clean up.

I had it covered in cardboard to try and maintain more heat at night.

 

[Habosabin]

I'm so lazy with regards to calibration. I used to buy the solution to calibrate and calibrating stuff seems so tedious. Just to lose calibration in 3 months from drift. I found this test strips that are really solid. I test using that. Then use the relative numbers in the devices to adjust.

If the devices are way off then I'll calibrate.

 

[Habosabin]

We are looking at 90s temp next week. My lights off period. Hope it handles it.

Aka roller pumps.

Next week is supposed to be hot here also. 80+ degrees.

I dint believe it man. My weather says the same thing.
But it also said on Wednesday that today was supposed to be sunny and 75.

It was more like 58 and rain 🌧

It's really cool here today as well and humid in the 70s so my exhaust fan is spinning it's wheels.

I ended up getting one of these as well. I should of had 2 more blue labs but they seem to have disappeared. Anyways, I got mine today. Less creator comforts than blue lab but should still can be dialed in I believe. I took a look at the instructions, (Joke). I checked calibration spot on out of the box. You have no control over the time the pump runs. I use phos acid which is heavier than water. Anyways I would suggest lowering the PH solution to about 25 percent strength and using the dial and start out one or 2 points about where you want to be. Adjust as required.

 

[Habosabin]

Thanks for the tips Anthem. Good to know it was accurate right out of the box. Yeah. I wasn't sure about what triggered it to stop other than the reading. It seemed to pump continously until it dropped below the threshold.

Ya that pump is huge compared to the blue lab stuff. I might drop my PH down to 10 percent. The stuff I use is 70 percent out of the container and way to hot for those pumps so probably going down to 10 percent for me!

Lol. That thing is bigger than a rubics cube!

 

[Habosabin]

The res looks good. No growth. Ph rock solid. Plant is 21" tall and 35" wide at the diagonal.
Day 18.

 

[Habosabin]

Here is a flyover. Major defoiliation in a day or two when time permits. This is right before lights out. She's looking happy still.View attachment 20231003_074049.mp4
