No problem. This forum dosen't allow text documents or pdf's as attachments (of any useful size), so I couldn't attach the originals. But I took a snapshot of the pdf and pasted it into paint, then saved that as a jpg to get the images I posted. I haven't tried to print out the jpgs so I don't know if they will print full page or not. But if they print out fine from the jpgs that will work, but if not I will be happy to send anyone the pdf's if they want. Their not large files just 31.4KBb & 67 KB. I have already made one minor change. In order to help keep better track of dates, I added __/__ next to the days of the week in the two charts with days. So it now looks more like:
Mon __/__ Tue __/__ Wed __/__ etc.. Just to help make comparing dates with significant changes easier.
P.S. Your system is shutting down? Your computer, or
hydroponic system/plants?

Yes, let me know what things would be useful for your specific grow. I'm not sure I've come across anyone who has a meter for taking readings of humidity in their root zone. Though the dampness of the root zone, as well as types of growing mediums, even root zone oxygen levels are useful bits of information for comparisons. I'm just not sure how to incorporate that in a practical way, but would love to. That reminds me I should add a place for dissolved oxygen level in the water, most people don't have a meter for it, but some do. I would like to incorporate spots for as much useful data as I can, then let the people just fill in what info they want, they can always leave spots blank. I still want to be able to fit everything into one sheet of paper, and that may not be possible to do and still make it large enough to read and write legibly for most people. But I'm also considering creating more than one chart, so people can pick charts that work better for their needs, or just print out all of them if they want.

I see what you mean, and I'll add that with the next version. Originally, my plan was to use a separate book report folder for each of the reservoirs in my 3 level hydro system, with charts for that system/reservoir. Then on the cover write the correlating reservoir/system on it. Like Reservoir 1 herb/basil seedlings, reservoir 2 maturing herb/basil plants etc.. However it may not be so easy to separate charts for multiple systems in a single 3 ring binder. Or if the unthinkable happens and somehow the sheets get mixed up (darn kids), then it would much harder to figure out what charts went to what grows again.
P.S.
Thanks for all the suggestions...
Also, I think I will probably get rid of the line "AM Time Cycles/PM Time Cycles." After I printed it out there looks to be enough room to write AM or PM next to the on/off times. That will keep people from needing to shift to the other side to continue writing their on/off times after Noon. They will also be able to make more use of all the on/off cycle spaces better that way (if they need them).
