I happen to LOVE my Apera - it's a bit cheaper than Blue Lab - but just as accurate, just as easy, and, from others who have switch to Apera from Blue Lab, apparently longer lasting. I picked mine up from Amazon for about and it's the BEST I'VE EVER SPENT ON MY GROWS!!! Wish I had bought one when I first started growing...
As for your yellowing new growth, your instincts are spot-on... this is some micronutrient deficiency - zinc? Iron? who knows... but the key and the answer is going to be found in the PH level ... so once you get your PH pen, make sure whatever you give her (water, nutes) has a PH of 6.2 - 6.5 and you should see improvement....
Good luck!

I use a piece of toilet paper, wick up some runoff and then adjust my next watering if its out. Best thing to do is mix in powder wollastanite, dolomite lime, or something in your substrate that will buffer your root zone. Any fluctuations out of zone are likely caused by acidic, non beneficial, microbial life and it just needs a substance that is constantly neutralizing. At least thats what i have found.

Just buy a decent one first off, buy a cheap one and you will eventually end up buying the decent one anyhow......
Buy once, cry once!
Save up until you can afford the real deal, Blue Lab seems popular.

Really this can be solved HM brand or hanna are great and accurate for this job. those from China are not waterproof and need to be calibrated frequently, which would require a lot of work.

I keep loosing leaves to some sort of nasty necrosis. It affects leaves at all levels, small and big randomly. I had to remove a lot of dying foliageAt first it looks like a asymmetrical spot of leaf starting to thin out to lighter color then tissue dries and turn black. I have high runoff EC3.3 and I blame Easy boost pellets because I only add rootjuice 1ml/L and sugar royal 0.5ml/L to my water. What is it and how I fix it?

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks

LSD Auto BarneysFarm is showing nutrient deficiency. I need some help to get this girl unstressed.I'm using BioBizz LightMix with the BioTabs Starter Kit in 25L pots (prepared the medium from the beginning with 3 biotabs). I have three girls where 2 of them are running healthy, only the LSD Auto is making trouble. How can I fix the problem which you can see on the image?

Ph value is decreasing despite BioBizzUpI don´t get it I´m trying to increase the Ph value but it is permanently falling again to a value of 4,2.
Any idea what could be the reason why my Ph adjustments (BioUp) are not taking effect in the soil.

Strange discolorationThe plant is becoming less green, more yellow, dark green/blue, and the tip seems necrotic. She received a little more light intensity (TS1000 at 50cm, 25%dim to 50%dim) when she was repotted on the final DWC. T.A. (Growing on FeedChart) was used to create the nutrient solution.

Runoffs are significantly below inputs-Do I have a problem?Runoff continues to be a mystery. When watering I continue to get significantly less Ph and PPM (4.8 ph and 109 ppm) than my inputs (6.2 ph and 155 ppm) but the plant looks healthy. I have no idea what is going on or if its even a problem. Should I be worried and what can I do?

What deficiency is this ?What is happening to my plant right now ?
I believe it is calcium deficiency also could be Manganese from the pictures. I did not add CalMag during the first weeks.
Usually Calcium deficiency shows after 4 weeks and during flower but not likely in soil.
