The cheap ones work fine - at least for me. You want the type with a range of 0-32. Mine was under $20 and still does the job quick and easy.[/QUOTE Ya, i think this one here , my friends , was , like 25 or 30 dollars. You don't need a fancy one to do what it does. How's the weather Major?
I think I knew her in high school.
I'm using Doc's kit for the first time. Actually, it's my first indoor grow. but, I've seen enough grows go wrong on these journals and in person. Plants nute burned, disease, insects, bad soil. I have not even come close to any of these problems others have. From day one, she was beautiful and still is. Effortless.
I don't even have an interest in my Brix readings. My buddy has the $300 model and I still don't care. Every morning when she wakes and I look at her, I know she is happy and healthy. She reaches for the light. I swear she smiles.
I see the importance of Brix testing when trying new products or testing new methods, but right now I'm a follower. I'm following directions and I'm sure she'll finish above 12. Too many people have followed the directions before me and had higher readings than that. I don't know enough about the kit and cultivation methods for Brix readings to be of any use to me.
In your case though, a reading that you can compare to some of the other kit users would be enlightening. I think the consensus of the kit users is:
Doc's kit isn't the best. It's a path forward. With prohibition falling out of favor, the sky is the limit. And, I believe Doc's kit will be leading the way.
Hey Mason , brotha, you and me think the same about taking Brix readings, exactly the same. If they're smilin at ya , and no problems are luming,...all's good.
About Doc's gear and the "kit" I can sum it up without too much rambling now, after using it for this long.Before this method i tried most of the other ones over about 30 yrs. or so , finishing up experimenting, or should i say trying to get it right, the soil that is. The last method before the "Kit" was Doc's 6/5/3 method. The beauty of this way , is the people with lab coats on every day....did the science behind it, period...there is virtually NO guess work , but still provides room for tweaking and putting your own flare to it , so to speak. When you have a reliable mix and method that works in containers,... with minimal work and risk ,it's a major accomplishment. The guess work has been removed by the "lab" and Doc's refinements and species attention.
Cheers eh...what a day...spent about 3 hrs. installing a bath fan in my GF's house, from scratch , vented out thru the soffit...i was sweating bullets in the hot attic, running wire , insul. duct, etc. all on my belly....F....sakes. Anyhow , i'm home now...she's comin over (Marilyn) a little later to watch the game with me.
Docs Kit... I play with it like its Open Sourced..
Don't stop Ziggs...we're on the front lines...
