Hey guys 'n gals, What is a good way to reduce the PH of the solution in your reservoir? I have been adding vinegar (~ 1/4 tea spoon per 2 litres) but this seems to dissipate rather quickly (2 - 3 days) maybe the plastic is absorbing it...? I've read that citric acid does the job, but i've only been able to find it in powder form for baking; do you think this will harm my plants? Or should i just purchase a ph stabilizer from a hydro shop? cheers

Hey guys 'n gals Bit of back story... I was given ~200 seeds by a mate back in early 2010 i acquired another 50 or so random seeds from other mates. I've been using over the past year, i've kept them in a cupboard in zip lock back with a gel bag. So last weekend I ran the seeds over some fine sand paper to scratch the husk and dropped them into a glass of water for about ~15 hours Then planted them into some jiffy pellets, placed the pellets into a grow tray placed about 5mm high water in the tray, placed the tray on a heat mat. Now i did have the humidity cover on for a day or two, but it's been off for a good 4 days now. So it's been 7 days since I've planted …

good morning! outdoor soil grow, mostly organic. sativa. applied too much chook poo at onset of flowering. growth 'siezed up'. subsequently have flushed well. sprayed kelp on foliage. growth began again but is wacko (see pics). checked PH. need to lower PH. understand from research these forums that epsom salts, vinegar and phosphoric acid will do the job. HOWEVER no dilution/application rates seem to be available. can anyone assist? (don't send me to bunnings! have phosphoric acid available.) is REVEREND in the house? saw some of yr old posts on this issue, Rev. Radic, what's the organic viewpoint here? assist pls?

Have I unintentionally created a bonzai-style plant here? She would be about 11 or 12 weeks from germination and just slightly taller than an average lighter... Using a diluted Seasol? solution to water and feed her. 20W Fluorescent light about 3-4 inches above the tip. Started germination outside, then after 2 weeks I brought her inside. Does anybody know why she is so short and undeveloped? Cheers, Sm0k3r

Hey all. I had a long forgotten thought about something that was told to me approx. 20 years ago. I was lead to believe that by rubbing the stem of vegging plants that you can get an indication as to what the finished bud will smell like. I have done this on and off over my grows but have never got serious about it or documented results. Also was told that this was a good way of determining males as they do not have the same aroma as females when vegging. Try it on a few different strains (if possible) and let me know what your thoughts are. I am pretty wasted ATM and was reading another what is this strain thread when these memories decided to flood my brain. Also …

hi all. i am starting a project with 2 main tubs, 1 plant per tub. 2 tubs per plant 1 for medium and the plant and 1 for the water flow and roots to grow in. I will be using clayballs as the medium as well as horse shoes with a 500lph pump to feed the 2 plants. For the water flow i will use 3000lph pump that will pump the water from the resivor to each bottom pot to keep a nice flow going. I am vegging 2 plants for 8 weeks becuase i want to pull atleast 2 pound per plant, i am pulling 1 pound per plant vegging them for 4 weeks so what do use think about vegging them for 8 weeks? also take into consideration the 2 plants will have 1 full 1000 watt light each to grow under…
