I use an "eve" smart outlet to show me how much the total watts are presently being consumed. really helps to dial it in for flower. (picture in week 3)
Everything is looking nice so far. However, about that 4 in 1 meter, I had the same and I only use it for temperature now. The pH reading is unprecise and caused me problems so I would suggest investing in a new one before it does the same to you. Cheers!
@GrowmieDeLaStreet,
Thanks for the advice... I have two meters, ones battery and the others analog, I tend to stay with digital so I have half the chance of hitting roots.. but they basically back each other up if I have doubt..
I'm guessing your light is blue toothed to an app on your phone? It's like Star trek in the grow room! 😆 Yes I used to have 1000 watt HPS. LEDs require different training. There is much less heat so buds can be closer the light. The more training to make the canopy even helps significantly with crop size.
I don't miss the huge hydro bill or dealing with the extra heat. Hid bulbs loose lumens after a year and need replacing. Luv my LED.
Your attention to detail is exelent. I'm certain you will be very pleased with this crop when it's ripe with trichromes ready for harvest.
