It's worked for me but I found that it was best if I did it a couple days after feeding when the soil was still slightly wet otherwise needed to add more water.
Here's mine:
But the basic instructions are:
Take soil from about halfway down (I go down the outside of the pot so as not to tear up old roots) and add an equivalent amount of distilled water as grams of soil (10 grams of soil, add 10ml water). If that doesn't make a slurry, use 20ml (or enough to make a stirrable slurry).
Stir it up, wait 15 minutes, stir again. Do that for at least an hour, longer is better, and then put your calibrated pH stick in the water. That's the pH of your medium.

I try to use pretty dry soil so the water already there doesn't mess with the results.
Well that's not the same one. I'm sorry Shed. Maybe I deleted the wrong one.
You don't have to pH the nutes as you said HG. Over time, the pH in the medium can drift up causing the nutrients to be locked out. Megacrop uses a high nitrate based nitrogen, so this naturally causes the pH to rise in the substrate. In my opinion it is more noticeable in soilless media as opposed to soil.
There are many reasons why the pH may drift, but you never know if it's an issue until the slurry test is done.
What MrSauga said, and I would wait until just before your next watering.
Slurry test them all while you're doing it so you'll know.
See if the below info helps HG.
Tip: Rotating your device sideways will expand the mobile view. In post view, navigation buttons will be added at the top of each page and you will see poster’s signatures. As well, the Compose Box will fill the screen when in use.
Replying and Quoting
To post a general reply on a thread, use the Post Compose box that you find at the bottom of each page (pictured above). The text formatting buttons found in the panel at the top of the Compose Box are straight forward. You can Bold, Italicize, change the font and the font color amongst other things. Experiment to get the look you want.
To reply adding a quote from a particular post, use the Reply button found below every post (pictured above). This will quote the post and insert the quote directly into the compose box. If you want to quote multiple different posts in one reply post, tap/click the + Quote button (pictured above) on each post that you wish to quote and use the Insert quotes button to place them in the compose area.
Tip: If you highlight some text in a post, the + Quote/Reply button will appear allowing you to quote just that portion of the text.

Thank you, Sauga. I'm on a laptop not a phone/tablet.
I tried the instructions in red above and all it did was post with none of the quotes listed.
Essentially I'm doing the insert quotes and then copying and pasting the quotes I want to refer to into my post. I just thought that there might be an easier way to show multiple quotes in one post since Shed seems to do it all the time.

I just (almost) always open each person's message (that I am replying to portions of) in a separate tab, work in each tab, copy tabs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 and paste them into tab 1, then submit the message and kill the other tabs. Actually, it's tabs 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, plus tab 2 - because I need to keep the original message thread open in tab 1. I do that because <REDACTED> does not appear to deal with nested quotes very well, and seeing what the person who I am replying to was replying to helps me with context, understanding, et cetera. It's odd, really, because <REDACTED> is capable of parsing nested quotes, at least to the first level.
In other words, I wasn't familiar with the process - so I followed MrSauga's directions exactly as posted. Yes, it's a bit different than how <REDACTED> presents it, but it still functions. After I selected the previous four posts by using their +Quote links, and then used the "Insert quotes... link that appeared (after I selected the first message to quote) beside the Attach files one, I got
This is not the behavior that you are getting? If you run a script-blocker in your web browser in order to stop websites from running scripts on your computer, you have to approve the 420magazine.com one for full forum functionality. But, aside from that, it should work the same for everyone.
<SHRUGS> I don't use it because of the above reason, but also because I sometimes chop up people's quoted text. If you, he, and she are each making statements about three different things... but your posts only have the second thing in common, and the first thing was only mentioned by "he and she," then I might break all of the posts up so that I can place the stuff together that belongs together. But if the goal in wanting to use the thing is simple economy, it should work fine for you.
The info I posted was from the tutorial here. I didn't quote it so the OP wasn't chasing threads. I saved her from trying to find it in the link.

You can highlight the text you find helpful, hit the quote button, and accumulate all the pertinent information as you read. You can move them around before you insert them as you mentioned as well.
Here are some random ones from yours:
Not sure why you feel the need to redact anything though. Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla are not sponsors here!

No I can't; it only works on the non-quoted portions of quoted portions of posts. Try doing that on one of my statements that you quoted, in your above message. For that matter, try quoting the entire message (either that way or in the usual one with the reply link at the bottom of it). It doesn't work - you only get your text. Apologies - I assumed that my statement about the nested quotes would have been sufficient for understanding.
They don't own the "place," either. Anyway, I didn't redact sponsors or non-sponsors (per se), I use that for... other entities that I'm not allowed to mention here. I'm trying not to get banned this week.

Sure I did. I generally use them for non-verbal sh!t. It works here and on most other forums to convey that kind of thing, because they use brackets for CODE tags. But anyone who finds my posts beyond their abilities may, if they choose, have them explained by a nine-year old, because I usually write at a level that can be easily understood by the average 4th grader. I do not know the intelligence or comprehension ability of everyone who might read them. Plus, it saves me the time that I would otherwise spend explaining myself.
Usually.
No, I will not supply the nine-year old. I try to be accommodating, but there's a limit.
Ahh, nested quotes, those need to be copied and pasted indeed.
I prefer :shrugs: to conform to the style sheet of the site.

Always a good idea.
I forget what it was, but the software mangled something in one of my posts when I used a colon. It assumed that it was part of a smiley. I suppose that it is possible for this to happen with one of the brackets - I have not bothered to memorize all of the keyboard combinations for manually entering the graphic things - but I have not experienced this yet. If I do, I might decide to switch to asterisks.
Why have I been typing an average of 20% of my words in "dyslexic" today, lol? I keep scrambling the order of the letters.

I do this as well.
Nope. I tried it again by following the exact instructions and it still doesn't work.
I did have an Ad Blocker but I found out that I couldn't view the Sponsors when I had it on so it's been disabled on 420 Magazine for a few months now so I know it's not that either.
The goal was to keep it simple but since it doesn't work for me so I guess I'll just keep doing it the way I was doing it. Thanks for trying to help, TS (and Mr. Sauga and Shed).
Two more questions, then, and I'll be out (in regards to this topic, I mean ) :
1. Are you at least seeing the
"Insert quotes...
link thing appear to the immediate right of the Attach files one, after you select at least one post via its +Quote link thing?
2. After selecting all of the messages (via +Quote) that you wish to use... are you, instead of using that "Insert quotes... link, trying to use the
Reply link? Because that doesn't work.

I'm confused. There is no Attach Files one. When I click the ...▾ button and choose Quote, all I got was (QUOTE)(QUOTE) (I'm using the wrong type of bracket just so I don't get dinged for entering code into my post.)
I have tried clicking the button for multiple quotes and then clicking reply and it only brings up the post that I clicked Reply To on.
I also tried inserting them using the Insert Quotes link and all I got was this - (QUOTE)(QUOTE) (I'm using the wrong type of bracket just so I don't get dinged for entering code into my post.)
So...how's the slurry testing of the pH going?

I haven't done it yet. It's on the schedule for tomorrow.
