There's a ton of DIY wizardry to geek out over in here. Your pH probe reminds me of some industrial tech I see all over the place. A lot of it has been good enough to hold up unchanged for over 30 years. Custom printing is icing on the cake
the printer helps a bunch, so easy to just make a bracket or something without even giving it a thought.
for the oxygen sensors i just modified the other bracket a little and didn't have tor redraw it, just a few seconds to change some dimensions.
got it mounted and wired in place too!!
Is that weatherstripping you used nontoxic? Did it cure all the way before you started adding water?
Maybe it leeched into the system and poisoned your plants?
I dont know man.. I hate that you had to start over a couple times. That's rough.
I was at my wits end before I finally got some seeds to take, last round. Tossing out plants that are "established" isn't easy.
never gave the weatherstrip a thought.. that was something not in grow one.. i got that stuff from Anthem back in the day, i'm pretty sure the paperwork for it is in the one pack, i'll look at it for sure man!! i also used permatx black for the joint. i left that dry for 24hrs but not sure if it can leach, its made for cars.
i thought for sure i had it solved but man the bigger plant now in soil is still doing the exact same thing, not sure if it's just encoded in the dna to grow this way now or if it's still unhappy i don't know. the plant will be going outside in mother earth as soon as it stops raining.
the third set of leaves continue to burn to this day... and no new growth ever comes from that node ever again. just baffling!!
.
.
so i have no idea if the problem is fixed or what... no freakin clue whatsoever...
what i do know is the newest plants look just fine like all the others did till week three..
the newest little baby groots with little baby roots!!!!!!!!!!! day six since sprout... The Shine!!!!!


the two Grape Punch from gps are in the small 1L aircells and are doing just fine in soil. i think they really liked the first eight days in hydro and haven't slowed down one bit since!!! these will also go outside but i might give these two some luv inside for a while yet.. the big plant has no hope so not wasting any more time on it.
both little ones have a twist to the single blades but not like the curls i've been seeing. i'm not worried about this twist the leaves aren't limping or dyeing back, just a twist.
so nothing has me worried but on the flip side nothing has me confident either.... waiting in suspense.
how do ya keep a stoner in suspense? .. i'll tell ya tomorrow!! haha
