Hey guys just wondering what your tap water phs are. I think i might have faulty ph meter. It says tap water ph is 5.0 while bottled water ph is 6.0? On the other hand i have another ph meter which gives off tap water as 6.9 and bottled water as 7.3-7.5 Also im abit paranoid. Any chance they might be able to track you by tap water ph? Thanks

Hi guys, Just wanted to ask about Killerney peat moss by Amgrow, I am currently using it mixed with perlite and vermiculite for seedlings and early veg. I have recently read though that this particular medium is quite acidic? My plants have been having a few problems with discoloration of leaves (a dark brown / rust colour) on some. Wondering if this could have to do with the acidic nature of the soil? I dont have a ph tester kit atm but will endeavor to get one, just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this. Regards, UC

heyas just curious is pollinating a plant that came from femininized seeds would the chance of hermies be in the gene pool even though the plant was stressed to become a hermie that produced the fem seed pollen? if so would it be a low % of hermies or? cheers =)

So, it's been 7 days since i took a few cuttings from a mates white widow. From what i've read on this site i got to them a little late, as they had already started to flower pretty heavily, but figured i'd have a crack, with nothing really to lose. Me and the mate tried to follow most of the instructions i'd seen here - used a nice new stanley, distilled water, some clonex, and then put them into some seed-raising potting mix (didn't get rockwool this time). Was a little concerned when the leaves started to go brown, however read somewhere here that that was a good sign. Problem is there is 3 in the pot, and if they do sprout roots i don't want them all becoming ta…

A lot of people have trouble with clones in rockwool until they have done a few batches. I sure did. My first attempts suffered from stem rot and slow rooting. Here's a photoessay on a batch of clones as they are done around here now that I've had a bit of practise getting consistent results. One of the biggest problems with rockwool cubes is that they can hold a LOT of water. If cubes are too wet, rooting will be slow or stem rot may set in. Think damp, never wet or saturated. A dry 40mm cube weighs 5g. A properly "damp" cube weighs 25-30g. Heavier than that is too wet. Remove water from overwet cubes by shaking excess out into a bucket with a snap of the wrist. A sala…

Greetings 420 community. I am about to give birth to my first baby (pictures attached) 14 weeks and lots of tender loving care and attention. BUT as this is my first child I am wondering about her growth pattens, is she as good as she can be ? Lots of heads but not all that big ? To cut or not to cut that is the question. I wouldn't want to be the father of a premature child....any ideas ? all welcome..thank you in anticipation...BADHABITSOZ

Hey guys, Long time lurker, first time poster! It’s nice to finally be taking the plunge! Great to meet you all, by the way. I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Ebay thread, but it's pretty long-winded so I thought I'd just make a separate thread. After being fed up with having to get average quality MJ through crappy dealers, I’ve decided that it’s time to start growing a plant of my own for personal use. I already have my feminised White Widow seeds, and after doing a lot of research (from OSA, mostly. ), I’ve decided on all the equipment I’ll need for some indoor stealth growing. Now for the hard part – actually getting the equipment!!! I’m…

Hello All, Excuse this newbie question but if one had an outdoor plant & come harvest time didnt want to kill it would the plant still survive if the main trunk was cut say 10cm from the base leaving just the first rim of outer branches or generally speaking would the shock be to much. Assuming the plant is a feamle & very healthy & about 1m tall & nearly 1m wide & only 3mths old. I've seen other species survive from similiar harsh attacks & knowing how hungry & vigorious these are I wondered if they would survive. Many thanks
