Super forgiving plant, definitely a pleasant experience all around. Don't really have any negatives or criticisms--size, outcome, etc are pretty much spot-on for what the breeder claims. I don't know what the actual disease resistance is of this strain, but I had no problems out of her. I fed her very light and harvested a bit early, but was still very pleasantly surprised by the quantity she yielded. And the smoke itself is the best I've experienced. After a couple weeks of curing, it's just pleasant. Ash is white and it kicks in in a matter of seconds. Yas, queen!
GHE delivered again! This girl was particularly greedy with the cal/mag. I'm sure if I'd bothered with the pH through the second half of the grow, she might not have needed so much. But all is well.
Positive all the way around! I got exactly what I wanted to out of this and learned a ton too. Upgraded some of my kit along the way, and I'm looking forward to the next round! I forgot to get wet bud weight but the dry weight is after curing a couple weeks. So pleased!
What is your favorite tried and true way of checking/monitoring pH? I am OVER the finnicky pens and the pH kit I have on hand from another hobby doesn't give me the range I need it to.
Mousey! Pleasure to see you👍. I hear you on the pH pens. I actually like mine (Milwaukee brand), but it does take constant calibration... and that's annoying. What I've been turning too more and more are just my manual pH tests. Not only do I know they're dead accurate, but I use it to prove that my digital pH meter isn't out of whack. Example: Tested with pH pen, came back at 6.2. Did my manual as a checks and balance and it came back orange! or roughly 5ish pH. Meter was effed and if I didn't do the manual I would have done serious damage.
I guess my final answer is this. Do both if you can, for checks and balances. I'd keep the pH pen if it's quality (what brand? is it just not a good pen?) and go purchase yourself the GHE pH tester kit. It's a cheap solution, lasts for a looooong time (only 4 drops needed per test) and is deadly accurate. Metals or additives that may screw up you digital tester will not be able to do this with the manual pH litmus testing. Doesn't have to be GHE, it can be an equivalent as they're pretty much all the same. I suggest staying away from litmus papers for testing and stick with the vial and liquid testing agent. I'll link you the product in PM real quick, just going to source it quickly. Heads up that the price is in CDN and I'm in Canada, but this is available everywhere...literally, even Amazon, for cheap👍👍
@Fiyagrowa, yeah, the one I replaced it with is a vivosun, and it does have the dual diaphragm design as well. The fritzy one had a bad connection at the adjustment knob so any sort of movement would cause it to cut out completely. Weirdly enough it worked for like two weeks before crapping out again. It's scrapped for parts now, haha. A UPS is a good idea, I'll look into one! Thanks!
@Mousey, I like the way you think. You may need to teach a class on this new method and all its intricacies 😃. Then don't show up to teach it...hahahaha
@JinksyGrows, yasss! I like that idea a lot. And a disclaimer that most measurements given are approximate at best lol. I have all my nutes in hand soap bottles, so everything is "ish" around here 😂
