Custom grow room setup with an aeroponic and NFT hybrid system. The room is lit with free-hanging metal halide and HPS bulbs. This is a very inexpensive and unique build that utilizes the space very well and easy access to all plants. To find out more about aero and NFT systems visit our page on aeroponic growing.

They say that a trimeter is only as effective as the probe is clean. Depending on your water source you should clean and calibrate your tri-meter every week as a minimum.
All of this information came with my tri-meter. Here is the probe, the probe "cleaning tool" and the cleaner. The probe goes into the end of the cleaning tool after you have put a small Amount of cleaner in it, give it a few twists, and then (Sorry I am not going to try and spray itr and take a picture at the same time thank you) rinse it off well, with fresh tap water. The cleaning solution can be used on the face of the ec probe as well, it doesn't take much, it does come out fast, may want to use a q-tip to dip a little out. I will next time.
So now we have a clean in accurate probe, and we need to fix or 'Calibrate' that. Sounds intelligent, after you do it a few times its not all that impressive. Here is the calibration kit I use, the little veils don't hold much, I think Earl estimated less than 50cents/ week.
First put your probe in the ph 7 solution. It reads 7.2, see told you its inaccurate now, we know the ph 7 solution is ph 7 (duh) so now we need to tell the meter that it is 7. SO..this is really intense now. we push and hold the buttonm that says ph calibrate until it flashes and clears the reading and then..... we push the button that says ph7, telling the trimeter, hey stupid this is ph 7. Now the next step goes the same way except for the solution we use, the buttons we push are the same either way. If your water tends to have a ph above 7 then you will want ph 10. Mine is below 7, I use ro, so I use ph 4. Same process either way. Put your probe in the ph 10 or 4, let the reading stabilize, see its wrong again. No stupid ph calibrate, flash. then ph4/ph 10 calibrate. Bang, ok you are right its really ph 4. now leave me alone for a while, put me back in that nice 'fresh' tap water til you need me again.

I seem to recall we have some flowering blue berry plants. Here are the one's I have labeled NothernBerry and SKunkBerry, A SkunkBerry and a Northern Berry and the only BlueBerry that I didn't fookup next to the NorthernBerry. ANd final the 2 BlueBerry Plant, quite a difference. Northern's are between 79 and 100cm. The SkunkBerry are from 51 to 79cm ANd the healthy Blue Berry is 79 cm as well.

Now that we have a couple of clones to work with, excuse my, cuttings to work with lets see how that is going. You can see the mess we have right here, plants are all leaning together, leaves getting tangled. Those skewers cost about a penny a piece and I usually cut them in half. Spend a penny and straighten them early, ' train a child in the way she should grow...'. I decide were I amgoing to prop it pull the plant back and install the prop, then let the cutting go, so it is against the prop. Usually a day or two and it can be removed. You will notice a small gap between your prop and the stem, propis no longer necessary. And here are the HempWarp citting the next day 4/21. Front and top view of one of those, I think they will be awesome. The Berry cuttings are all still with us, so we ave about 160 to 170 cuttings. And my vegetable plants are still holding thier own.

You know it Mstr, I wasn't busy so I decide a few more clones would be in order. These HempWarp are amazing looking plants. Took 50 clones from them, marked for which plant they came from so when we sex them we can get rid of all the males. If we meet the law of averages this will give us 22 to 30 known female plants. I think this will fill all of the flowering table for the first run now and will start concentrating on setting up a mother plant area, again this will be flood and drain. The blues have been flowering for two weeks now the HempWarp just went into flowering and our clones should be ready in 2 -4 weeks. Two more months we should have it all running, assuming I don't kill the clones of course.
