    Hell yeah man! Looks great. I wouldn’t trust that ph/hydrometer combo thingy, but then again, I may have trust issues. 🙂

    Huh. Good first go at autos. I’ve been growing since 2018 and haven’t had an auto do shit for me. Maybe 1/2oz at the absolute most. But yours are looking bigger than mine before they started flowering.

      Week 3. First grow exited to step up the game soon. Thanks DGC for the confidence it been a game changer. I’m a PTSD VET and growing has helped so much.

    Great start for a first grow. Maybe some good DGC tips rubbed off on you? But, I wouldn’t let any ol’DGC member rub off on you. Might clog your stomata.

    I too started using a meter like that, and it got wonky and lead me astray quickly. So use other methods to supplement especially if you are going to do anything actionable.

    Lastly, I don’t see too many auto growers doing the Kushman Chiro. I don’t think you’ll need it. I’d consider the old advice of letting her grow naturally and then deciding if an aggressive training is needed for future runs. But hey, good on you for trying!

    looking forward to seeing how this run goes.

    I’ve had amazing success with that cheap meter. I only use the moisture reading though. I dont trust the ph, and have no need for the light readings. I scrog low with 4 to 5 large pots, 7 or 10 gals. It’s hard for me to pick up and judge the weight sometimes. It may not be super precise but it’s usually very consistent. I like the long prongs which reach to the bottom of the pot, allowing me to judge the entire pot instead of just the top. I also put pumice and rice hulls in my soil and don’t see any false reading because of it. I do suggest using the meter and picking up the pot to get feel for the readings. One other suggestion, is to not leave it in the pot for some time and then take a reading. Take a reading right after you stick it in the soil, or wait like 5-10 seconds. I know a lot of people hate on this meter, but it can be a valuable tool as long as your paying attention to other signs as you use it. Once you use it enough you’ll probably get a feel for your watering cycle through different stages and won’t even need it. But it’s definitely handy to keep around.
