All their units are $49
Not that I will test very often after this first week.
I compare it to not having a PAR meter and guessing about one's lighting.
Using capped soil makes things different for me than most.
Just trying to wrap things up in my mind about what the soil provides vs. what I am always adding in the way of ferts.
Reckon my capped soil will last quite a while since I also dose the water column.
Not really changing much water forces me to add ferts based on plant consumption per week without the accumulation that forces a massive water change.
I could never do this with lots of phish crapping things up.
Once per month I'm doing 15% WC's.
This is lowering my KH at a very slow rate, just how I wanted it to happen.
Now I am having to add GH booster to maintain a GH of 6.
Target KH is 1, I'm in the 3-4 range now so a few more months.
An improvement in plant growth @ a lower KH is showing with many species.
How much better will it be when I reach my target???
