Stick with your budget, especially if you are just dipping your toes into the hobby. I would say put a preference on the better Ph meter and a simple EC meter will be ok. It is just measuring the electrical conductivity of the water, not too complicated. You can get by without the EC meter if...

Heavily dependent on the brand and the model. What kind, do you have a link?

You will eventually get the hang of how much Ph down (if any) and how much of each nutrient to get the EC where you want. Until then, yeah it is add a little, stir, test, adjust. It will get easier with practice. I found hydro to be the most involved form of horticulture, always will have...

Whooo they came back in stock and I grabbed an order of the Blood Ghost and Reaper Purple Peach.

So still had one of the Devil's Tongue with a shell stuck on it, so I tried your advice. I propped it upside down in a bowl of spring water for about 10 minutes and then used one of my tools to gently slide it off, worked like a charm!

You know it is bad when you are colder than me, we are at 25f right now. The front range and plains are going to get it worse than we are.

Looks good!

Like Hellfire said, keep them trimmed up and no worries. You can also look into a Screen of Green (ScROG) type training on the plants once you decide which individual plants from each genetic line you want to keep. Once theyre tied and grow into the screen you will have to cut them out. This...

Stay warm, it is getting worse.

Welcome from Colorado

Luckily I only needed two of the three so it sort of naturally selected itself.

Fox Farm Grow Big, 1/2 TSP / G for foliar and seedlings. I am getting ready to switch to the Tiger Bloom for some of the plants that are throwing flowers. I feed light since I am still learning the plants so I could use a little nitrogen bump for them quickly. For the next plants that are...

Hallows Eve seedlings are starting to show their colors. A little coloration on the Pink Tiger BBG7's, too, but not nearly as much as the Hallows Eve. Foliar feed everyone tonight so lights are off a little early.

Good to know, I figured but definitely want to be food safe. Had a Devil's Tongue White finally shake it's helmet off, one seedling didnt make it from the helmet head, and a third one in process of shaking her's off. Weird to see all 3 have the same issue, maybe theyre genetically prone to it.

Ordered my PH meter and all the fun chemicals that go along with it. Grabbed a few calibration packets, 500ml of storage and of cleaning solution. @salsalady do you think this meter is accurate enough to use for PH verification for sauce and food products? I can always swap probes for food use...

Waited too long to pull the trigger on the Blood Ghost and watched it sell out last night haha. @TexasHotPeppers any chance you have more from this last season or are they gone till fall later this year?

Welcome!

If you are having trouble with cool temps at night, raise the plants off the concrete floor some and insulate below them. Good luck!

Good morning to a tropical 8 degrees F! Snow overnight, cold morning, will get negatives coming soon. Hope you enjoyed our storm that just passed through, @Harry_Dangler

Maybe the seeds are fresh and healthy and like what you are doing? Only one way I know to find out, grow it out. Others may be able to tell pretty quickly by the shape and size of the foliage.
