Links to new videos will be added here regularly so check back frequently or subscribe on YouTube for notifications.
Each week I plan to bring a new: how to, equipment review, or plant celebration video. With each video I'll provide item links, outlines of methods, and nutrition used so you can replicated these results in your legalized state.
Links to items in videos are Amazon affiliate links, which means, if you buy something through links on this site I may get a small percentage of the item cost. This doesn't cost you anything but helps me keep intrusive ads off of this site while still hopefully helping to cover the cost to operate.
How-to:
How-to mix nutrients, PH & TDS test, and water
This is the process I use to ensure my plants are always happy and pushing the limits of their genetic potential. I'm going to mix up four gallons of nutrient water, PH and TDS test it, feed two plants, then test the run off water. With this process and the information at WEEDGINEER.com all your grows will be cover photo material!
Visit the nutrients and equipment pages to find details & links to everything shown in this video.
How to calibrate a VIVOSUN PH meter using BioFarm PH buffer reference solution
It's time to calibrate if your PH meter is brand new, takes a long time to land on a final PH, or gives differing results. I like to keep some reference solution in a small jar, with lid, that my meter fits in easily. I regularly wash off my meter with distilled water and test its accuracy in the reference solution. If my meter is off I hold the calibrate button for 5 seconds and a one point calibration is quickly done and I'm on my way.
