A Tale of 2 Northern Lights Autos

Week 10! 01/31/2022: Watering day! With these two looking somewhat off still (a bit pale with the tallest, though both show what looks like a cal/mg issue in some of the lower leaves that I haven't been able to shake...though I know that Ca/Mg issues are not quick to resolve; I got some Real Growers Recharge and hit all the plants with 1tsp per gallon of filtered water that had been PH'ed up to 4mg per gallon. For the rest of the grow I'll keep Recharging every water. Ran into an issue where my cheap 'yellow' pH meter gave up. I do what I always do, which is calibrate with fluid and it wouldn't 'grab' my middle range (6.86) fluid and kept locking it to 9.0. I could get the calibration to 4.0 to work though and used that, though I know things may have been funky. I think the Recharge should buffer the pH with it's bacteria/fungus so I'm not too worried. 2/3: Note that Recharge seems to be somewhat magic. It's not only got mycos, but also fulvic/humic acid, kelp, molasses and other beneficials. I used it for the 'tent plants' but also fed our houseplants with it, especially a few sadder ones. The 48 hour results on houseplants was VERY noticeable in a positive way. On the Northern Lights it also gave the plants a definite look of better health. The paleness is fading and they just look happier. Will continue with them. I also received my new Bluelab pH meter...looking forward to using an industry standard-ish pH meter though the cheap yellow did well for a grow and a half. 2/4/2022: Feeding day. Nutrients are cut back to 550ppm...since the recharge works really well, I'm dropping back on pushing the Trio and letting the Recharge take some of the duties. Really happy with how it's worked...plants look healthier and there's fewer spotty or dead leaves to remove. Plants are greening up well and seem to be overall happier. Lights have been adjusted...they're now running at 15h and at 650ppfd and reaching full DLI while saving a bit of electricity by trimming back by 3 hours of light. New Bluelab pH meter works wonderfully...happy move from the 12$ cheap one to a 'real' one, though once you buy the meter and the calibration and storage fluid the end price is closer to 100$.
