Hey I use the one from amazon for $15.99cad and it’s called lumo-x. And if you need a PPM meter they have vivosun brand combo set for $26.99cad. Hope that helps and happy growing

I was struggling with low humidity, now I can’t keep it below 70%.
Hi! Since upgrading my 4 girls into new 3 gallon pots & giving them a good water the humidity levels in the tent have soared to over 70% Will this reduce as they drink all the water in the pots? Shld I invest in a dehumidifier yet? Running out of space 😬

What should be plugged into the digital timer?
Currently, I have the timer plugged into the wall outlet, then to the powerstrip, but this doesn't seem feasible. I have lights, exhaust, fan, and humidifier connected to the powerstrip, so everything shuts off when the timer is off. Is this the norm?

Hey...Grow Diaries...What is going on?
What is up with this web site. Shuts down Friday and starts up on Monday. Is someone having a long weekend every weekend? Has this site been hacked? Should I be concerned because you have some personal info of mine? Can you tell us what's going on so we are not so concerned?

Where to measure RH in a grow tent?
When measuring RH within a grow tent where is best location hydrometer to record an accurate reading? I have 3 all calibrated together and placed at canopy, between light and canopy, and above light. There is a 20% difference between all three readings. I’m now in flower.

pH Pen Calibration Frequency?
How often should I re-calibrate my PH pen? I have a cheap Milwaukee pH600 and after 3 months of use it had drifted enough to cause real damage (was reading 5.8 when chemical drops read ~4.0). Alternatively, is there a reasonably priced option that would avoid this?

Temperature measurement
Where do you guys measure your temp in your tents? I was wondering, because my readings vary up to 5°. Number 1 is currently at 20.3 °C (68F) where as probe number 2 is at 23°C (73F). Which one of those can i trust more?

False reading or Hi PH?
Is 20% humus lombrico mixed in my substrate giving a false ‘hi’ ph reading? Or is it truly over the max reading? I got one reading of 7 only at the exact second I took the picture, so I made a video. My water is high in calcium, I recently switched to distilled.
