PPM meters vary a lot in quality. anything Hanna is pretty much gonna be good. I use that PPM meter from the Zero Water, that they give for free, and it actually works really good. here is a link for a cheap hanna, but this is their cheapest one. Hanna Instruments: HANNA PRIMO TDS TESTER [716833] - Timers & Instruments - Discount Specialty Farm, Greenhouse & Garden Supply Store - Horticulture Source. I cant recommend it since I haven't used it, but really, you cant go wrong spending like 50$ more for a decent one. I have read that they all pretty much start off accurately, but the cheap ones become inaccurate more rapidly than more expensive one. Infact, many have calibration modes used with calibration liquid you can buy. The main thing is, always keep the electric diodes clean, the part that goes in the water, either by blowing it dry or wiping off. This ensures long lasting accuracy

I bought a cheap $39 CHINA MADE one and it lasted for half a grow and just quit working.
I advise spending the money for a nice one, like at least $65 and up. $95 is a nice one. DO NOT BUY A USED ONE OFF OF EBEY.

I was thinking about that yellowish last night and I might have found the answer let me know what you guys think, it has been one of the coldest winters in a long time in southern FL, last couple weeks temps have been changing upwards of 25 degrees per day and last night my heat was on however location of the closet allows temps to change dramatically. The temp when I left for superbowl last night was 76 degrees very was very nice, however this morning before going to work it was near 60 degrees, a nice 16 degree swing. So I am shutting off the fans and hoping to start keeping the warm air from the lights within the closet. I think it might be this because the clone is doing better but looks like it is still suffering also. Let me know what you guys think.

You never know until you test the theory.
my closet has a 15 degree swing everynight tho. Actually 10 to 15 degres from day and night is recommended.

Same here Sanibel, read them so much I got overloaded and overwhelmed! And reading how to do it but then putting it to practice are 2 different animals man. There are always these little things that pop up or moments of doubt that reading doesn't hit on.... thankfully "they" are here for us guys still wet behind the ears... although i feel real stupid asking ???'s sometimes. lol
Answering questions is what Deep Water Culture do, and what I love to do.

well a lot of the yellowish I was talking about before has since pass and we can continue on the journey. Some roots are now coming through the cups and are making their way to the water, seems like I have one real runt in the back so I am hoping that she will buck up and start growing. I will update pictures tonight for a progress record
