    Couple of questions before I start first ever grow

    in Grow Community

    Hey there,


    I've finished reading the beginners guide and I'm about to begin my first grow, but before I begin, I have a couple of questions that I don't recall being answered in the book.


    1) The PH and TDS tester were labelled as optional, so I didn't buy them, but the latter chapters seem to heavily rely on the checking of PH & PPM levels. How do I navigate knowing when and how much liquid nutrients, PH adjusting, flushing to do, without those instruments?


    2) How often should I have the oscillating fan on for at any time during the different grow phases to ensure air circulation, but not wind burn etc?


    I'm also thinking about logging the process of the grow with notes, was wondering if anyone can suggests things I should be monitoring to log or if there's a spreadsheet or something like a site, software/app etc for logging grow progress.


    Thanks in advance to everyone that responds

    Sorry for not providing the link for the fan, but the one above is correct. The hurricane one. Im not sure what all platforms that app i mentioned is on but the name is " grower helper" if you want to just do a search. The app has a green icon with "gh" on it.

    Hey If you get on the google play store there is an app called"grower helper" that lets you track everything pertaining to your grow. I use it and it kicks ass. Also if you check amazon, they have a wall mounted oscillating fan that will do a figure eight and the speed will alternate between low,medium,and high. It changes speed like every 10 seconds. I also have that and its awesome. I also leave it on all the time from beginning to end. Hope this helps. Good growing!

    @growhouse262 I think this is the fan @gregthe357 is talking about. Looks fucking amazing, always thought this would be an amazing fan in general not even related to growing, but for some reason never thought to google it to see if it ever existed.

    Also is there anything like the app you described on the app store?
