<span class="link_user">@TheCode</span>, Gotcha, yea I&#039;ve saw quite a few designs using PVC and scrog on youtube. I also saw a video on one Mr Canucks channel and grabbed the scrog nets he used. (found size that worked perfect for my setup) From there just played around with PVC pips to build a proof of concept for my needs and once I had the measurements down, I built 8x of them. Like 10 years ago I tried growing under 6x 600 watt bulbs and grew some pretty big trees; however, I spent two months having to army man crawl through the room to do basic maintenance lol. That experience was my biggest motivation to try and build something more modular this time around. Still a few quirks I&#039;m running into with my setup, but will hopefully get smoother and smoother over time. 2G per watt will definitely be god . This is my first attempt using LEDs. Been a long time since I&#039;ve grown, but the tech seems to have come along way since then. So far I&#039;ve been very impressed. Hoping to see a good harvest them. As far as the pens, couldn&#039;t agree more. For the bloody cost, you would think maintenance would be easy. They&#039;re a thorn in the side. Every time I test, there&#039;s always the thought in the back of my mind, is this thing even accurate? lol Would be nice to not have to worry about pH (feels like its the bulk of the work) Good luck with your goal! hope you hit that 2G/w bar
<span class="link_user">@TheCode</span>, Honestly, I was slacking on cleaning and storage with my meters :) and suspect it was the primary cause to some PH issues I ran into the other week. (No storage solution or cleaner) I was calibrating regularly but slacking on everything else. I started using specific cleaning solution and purified water to rinse before and after each use as well as using storage solution in the caps for the pens. Thinking about starting to use drops as well periodically to make sure my pens aren&#039;t telling lies.
<span class="link_user">@TheCode</span>, Haven&#039;t heard of HygroHybrid previously. Just checked out youtube and looks like he grows some monster trees.
