You can get a ph pen. They are very accurate easy to use and cost about £30. and will last for years as they can be re calibrated.

Test strips always work in a pinch, but like hash says, you can get a good ph ed pen, but I would by one with a replaceable probe, as they won't last, they eventually dry out and become unusable.

You should get a cheap ph meter off Amazon. You can get decent ones under 50 bucks but I would stay away from the -10 meters. The test drops and strips I've yet to find anything real reliable.

Is it safe to tweak your light cycle times when you flip?I'm getting ready to flip and was hoping to adjust the cycle time when I do. My light is currently on from midnight to 6pm, but would like to switch to 9am-9pm or 11am-11pm to better align with my schedule. Am I safe to adjust or should I keep it at 12am-12pm when I flip? Thanks!Other. General questions

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :)
Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁

Your opinions on when to harvestHi, I'd really like to know your opiniions on harvest. As a newbie I'm still trying to figure out when to chop her down. My goal is a strong psychoactive high with some body relexation (maybe 20% amber?). I think I will give her another week. What do you guys think? Thanks!Week 13

One branch was totally withered then checking the stem I realized it was brown in a quite large part.
