@@Freddd, Thanks for the advice. I'll keep my eye out for the flairform indicator liquid.

@stunflower, you know I've always made a big deal of not using cal/mag because I don't think it's necessary in hydro seeing as it's already in the nutes and so many things get blamed on it. For a year I was running around 5.8 pH and let it drift a bit. Everything was good except for the occasional sort of weird rust on leaves like you see on your current plant. You can see that also on my previous Moby Dick. I wondered about this for a long time. Now that I've started keeping the pH closer to 6.3 you can see on my current Moby Dick that there is none of that at all. I would suggest you not use a pH meter at all and just use the flairform indicator liquid. It's far more *practically* accurate. You'll find that a nice pale yellow is 6, a bit warmer than pale yellow is 5.7, a bit greener than pale yellow is 6.3 The thing is if you check the solution one day and find suddenly one tub is unexpectedly low pH with a meter then the first thought is to check the accuracy of the meter because well you know why. But when that happened to me last week where quite unexpectedly I got a very warm indicator reading, I know it's right and adjust it confidently.

@@Freddd, Good stuff. I'm following the same nute regiment plus cal-mag. Just found out my PH has been running much lower than my meter was indicating and one plant has been suffering a bit as a result. Ugh. Replaced the meter and back on track. Good luck with the rest of your grow - I'll follow along!

@EZgrower, thanks EZ, anyone who really loves their plants will be rewarded over time! I got a vape because the gf doesn't like smoke everywhere. Since I've had the Vapexhale Cloud Evo, I could never go back to combustion. After a heavy session with the EVO, the room smells perfumed instead of smokey. When I smoke a joint I have to spit out the acrid smoke taste regularly.
