PTG- Thanks for replying. Not a bad idea. Different outlook on things. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I would hate for things to go south just because of a power outage which happens here too. Thanks again. :thankyou:

Tortured Soul----Thank you very much for replying and putting things into perspective for me. I live in a house. My bill is approx $400-$450 a month. Thank god I already have the front loading washer!! You're absolutely right.. I guess I just needed someone to kick me in the head to wake up...

No one has any comments or ever thought about using a generator?? Really? Thought has never come to mind?

I'm not looking to cut cost on my bill but to stay off the grid. Just wondering if anyone currently uses a power generator and what kind you would recommend. Like I said.. just looking to stay off the grid and not have the power company question why my bill is damn high. I've been looking at...

I've only tried it once and it did nothing for me. Nothing that wow'd me. Didn't see much of a difference. I'm going to try one more time and see how it goes. I'll let you know.

Plant looks like its stretching for light.. What is your ppm? I had the same problem. Going through my check list.. My water temp was too low @ 61 and ph was on the low side. I fixed my water temp and all was well. I'm not saying that's what your problem is.. Would need more details

Seems to always be an issue with each grow..PPM seems to be rising instead of falling.. Head is about to explode.

Thank you PitViper.. Nice Post.:nicethread:

Oh by the way, is that a bird helping with the harvest?

I'm using GH nutes. However I recently found out the instructions on the back of the bottle (using as a general guide) was causing me to overfeed. My temp in my reservoir was 61 degrees. I recently purchased a heater and the ph seems to even out. Very good tip to know about not mixing the 2...

So if I added too much ph up..I shouldn't use ph down? I didn't know that. Did I understand that correctly?

So I take it that you are going by EC readings and not PPM? I'd like to make a purchase where it's one or the other. I don't want to take the time to convert. What portable meter are you using now? :grinjoint:

Thanks everyone for your input. Very helpful and interesting point about storing it in plain water. Get to that in a sec. Just wanted to give an update on what I feel is a life altering decision! :scratchinghead: Well, I was going to go for the combo until I talked to Milwaukee. 1 probe...
