• Bear Assed Monkey by Mephisto and Papaya Cookies by Fastbuds, day 56 and 55 respectively. BAM is in coco loco and the Papaya is in coco/perlite. First time using just coco and perlite, started out a little rough. Both getting the Flex.

  • More cal-mag? I was giving 3ml/gal but I increased it to 5ml/gal earlier today. Seems like its got worse throughout the day though.

    Also if the area I live in is under a “Boil Water Advisory,” will that water effect the plant negatively if I use it? Idk what is supposed to be in the water that it needs to be boiled before consuming. It could…

    • Too much calcium is usually the problem when I see pastel green looking leaves. Calcium is very antagonistic. The pictures show no indication of calcium or magnesium deficiencies. Cut out the cal-mag and watch it improve.

  • Does anyone else use this EC pen from Apera, EC20? If so, how are you converting to PPM since it doesn’t specifically display PPM? I’m finding a ton of mixed answers on how to convert the readings.

      There are two scales used: multiply by 500 or by 700 (depending on where in the world you are, US typically uses 1EC = 500ppm). So EC 1.2 = 600ppm on that scale (840ppm on the 700 scale). Because of the two different scales, generally you should avoid thinking in PPMs and just use EC.

      • Why do you want to convert it? Reminds me of trying to convert C to F temps constantly in my head living in Canada. Really I just need to understand C….lol I relate more to PPM than EC also though

      • PPM/TDS meters have a US or UK scale. US scale is 500 while UK scale is 700. Those scales are programed in to PPM/TDS meters based on EC. 50 ppm is 0.1 EC on US scale. 0.2 EC = 100 ppm, 1 EC = 500 ppm. 2 EC = 1000 ppm.

        • I knew about the 500 or 700 scale but this is the first time I’ve heard that it had to do with where on the planet you lived. This answers some other questions as well. Thank you

          • I use that same one for PH. I just have a simple cheap PPM/EC pen I use for the other.

          I’m seeing more and more Mephisto and their recent Oreoz drop seemed to be pretty popular. I’ve not really seen specific strains being grown more than others, it’s been pretty diverse and everyone is growing something different.

        • With each grow, each new plant…I feel I’m getting better. Probably gonna be my highest yielding plant so far. I’m proud of it anyways.
