You have the older version of the PH60 meter. I noticed that yours came with only the 4.0 and 7.0 test solutions. The newer ones have three solutions and calibrate to a three-point scale. Mine contained three solutions. Like I said, we used to calibrate our test equipment daily at the power...

Yes, the cases are included. I agree. The cases are necessary to keep everything in order. I also ordered lab standard calibration solutions. I learned a hard lesson with that crappy vivosun meter. I was unable to calibrate it. It just wouldn't complete the calibration procedure. It just kept...

I have an Apera PH60 also. Great meter. It calibrated with no trouble whatsoever, and it showed that the vivosun unit was WAAAAAAAYYYYYY off. When I corrected the pH, using the Apera PH60, my plants showed improvement within just a few days. Like I said, everything I owned, with the vivosun...

Good luck in November. You've got my vote! I've seen no improvement since using these expensive amendments. In fact, it's been a frikkin' nightmare. Everything you said makes total sense. I got my Hydroguard delivered today. I'm hoping to see some nice white roots soon. Can anyone recommend...

Thanks. That's great advice. I am questioning the AN nutes in general now too. Any recommendations on what I should be using? I was expecting great things with this grow. It's the first time I have spent so much money on all the extras. It's been a nightmare for the last three weeks. The grow...

I am in week 4 of flowering Black Gorilla. I have had a great deal of trouble with pH since I switched to the flowering nutrients. I added Bud Ignitor, Big Bud and Bud Candy to the recipe. PH started dropping precipitously. It went to 4.5 at one point. I was using 10-12 mls of pH up per day in a...

I wasn't very clear. I should have explained better. The first two seedlings, started 6 weeks ago, were doing very badly. I thought they would die but I planted them in soil and they revived. I water them with 6.2-ish water. For my hydro grow, I let the pH drift from 5.2 to 6.0, but it stays...

So you have no advice then. Figures. Sorry you are so sensitive. Enjoy your day. You're right, I did say that...I suppose I was trying not to be an arrogant know-it-all. I learn something every day on this site. I hope I never stop learning. You didn't ask any questions about my hydro setup...

Of course I am. My first hydro grow was in 2002. Any specific advice? Can you give me a hint as to which of the "several different things" it might be? The choices are: nutes, pH, media, temps, genetics, RH, and/or lights. Why do you, instead of helping with my specific problem, offer advice...

The pH was way off when I initially germinated the seeds. I got an Apera PH60 pH tester a few days after the leaves turned dark. The water tested at pH 4.2. They were severely stressed. I didn't think they would survive, but they did. They are now getting pH6.2.

I've had the seedlings in a rapid rooter for a few days. No change yet. It's been 9 days since they germinated. If you remember, I had two other seedlings in hydroton before the two seedlings I currently have, but they did very badly and seemed stunted. I gave up on them for my hydro grow, but...

I ordered 50 RapidRooters. I'm looking forward to giving them a try. If it makes the seedling/rooting phase easier, I'm in!
