Yes getting a ph meter is very helpful. I would recommend staying away from the really cheap ones. You get what you pay for rings true.

PPM. 6/6,5 PH waterings or too frequent waterings?I just had a long ass session in my tent, because of increasingly higher PPM. Coco in 10gal, is every day irrigation too much? Should be said that the pot is nowhere near dry after 24hrs. Or my initial idea, 6,5 PH every other watering being too high leading to lockout? ThankssWeek 6

FISH SHIT during flush - why? TIA ^_^To add or not to add fish shit. The bottle states that adding it during flushing will help break down salts and nutes, allowing flushing to happen faster. Seems logical to me though I hear JUST WATER is the way to go the last couple weeks.
Whats the community standard?Week 12

WaterI watered 5 days ago with first nutes. Bottom half still seems moist. (Using cheap meter) Should I water without nutes, even if it is it moist? Its a 5 gallon pot. Plant may have been a little small to transplant. How much water should I be giving when I do water at this stage?Week 3
