It’s sad really. Mistakes were made. The results were real Plants died as a result. In a brain dead moment I mixed up some ingredients and up potted…without giving the soil time to ‘ferment’ as a result the hot mix killed two more to this point. 2 are still up and going. I dropped 4 more of these seeds ( Black Lebanon x Black Afghani ) 2 days ago when this became apparent and have since planted them after they sank in Royal Gold Tupur albeit in only small 2 " pots.
The two remaining
The EC meter arrived and I had some issues learning to use it.
After some discussion and advice from @lefthandseeds I bought a HM Digital Com80 for about $30 It does EC and TDS at 2% accuracy. Not as good as the Aperia since it’s accuracy is 1% but suitable for my use case.
So whenever I get one of these new toys I am always checking everything with it 
and was shocked to find EC was nothing like TDS and glad for having bought a meter that did the conversions and would swap modes. From reading the manual it looks as though everyone reports in mS since the show numbers like 1.3 instead of 1370
I mixed a batch of Megacrop it tested at 1.4 and I diluted it with another gallon of filtered water and am using that on all of our plants. BTW I found a coupon code if you want to try some of this stuff just use OVERGROW for a free bag @GreenleafNutrients I assume this is still valid.
To ship that littler bag would have cost more than to buy a 750g bag from Amazon.
So let’s find some good news. That Deep Chunk x Jungle Spice is looking like a real winner. Stacking nicely the pistils are showing tight clusters and building on both sides of the main stems. The trichomes are large, abundant, apparent and beginning to frost on the sugar leaves.
Above is #2 pheno
I took 4 clones from #1 yesterday
And the #1 Apex clone
