I've got myself a lovely, healthy-looking White Skunk growing indoors in nutes. Its a few weeks old, growing fast with huge leaves and a very short stork. My ph meter arrived in the mail today and when I tested the nutes they came up as ph 5.6, which strikes me as a tad on the low side. So I have 2 questions, 1. What is the ideal ph range that I should be chasing? 2. Is there something cheap I can get from the supermarket to raise ph (like baking soda for example). This because I'm a bit of a skinflint, but also too lazy to get out to a hydro shop if there's no need. The nutes I'm using are canna, if that matters. Thanks heaps for help anybody can offer

Hey guys, I purchased some seeds off the net a few months ago and they didn't turn up which was really annoying. I am still really keen on picking out a strain and getting the seeds etc. I got them from www.nirvana-shop.com and am not to keen on losing another $50 to just have no seeds turn up. What has everyone's experience been like? I would desperately love to be able to experiment with different strains etc. as I love experimentation and testing results. Is there anyway i can get access to different strains etc. without throwing money at a number of different online suppliers and seeing what comes in?

So incidentally I had to use a 1000WMH for 2 weeks before I could purchase a new 1000WHPS bulb and ballast to replace the old ones that busted. We all know MH creates lankier plants and HPS creates bulkier bushier plants. If your trying to get the most weight out of a grow, try throwing under a MH for two weeks during flowering. Youll get that extra 4 inches of stem growth (approx) which adds more weight to your final harvest. IT DOES stress the plants, adds an extra 30 days (approx) to your overall harvest. Whereas mine would have taken 60-70, they are now going to be somewhere in the range of 90-100days flower, but nice 16in (sorry from USA) colas on top Just a…

I expect this gets asked from time to time but I havn't found a recent thread for it. I've been reading through the seed bank, there's heaps of good info there but I'm finding it a bit overwhelming so I thought I'd ask it like this: I've already bought one batch of White Skunk from PS, mostly because the seeds were cheap. and didn't seem to have any bad points. But now I'd like to leap out into the unknown and try another strain, so could anyone advise me - I'm looking or a strain, hopefully from PS or another supplier with a reliable reputation that's not too pricey, is easy to germinate and grow (as I'm still new to indoor growing), is ideal for indoor growing (not to…

I recently took 5 clones out of the humidome I made and had decided to make mothers out of these 5 strong clones. Roots had formed and were growing out and had fresh growth in leaves. I put these 5 in their own 18 gallon bucket with net cups, air pump, nutes, hydroton, for a Deep-Water Culture. 1 week later upgraded from a 400W MH to a 1000W MH. Temps still under 83 and thats only when the harvest room is operating (1000WHPS). Now the problem - The mom clones are having 1 leaf growth (just 1 finger not 5, 7,9,etc) and other wierd irregularities with leaf formation. Is there an any damage been done to these from something or is it OK for now...??? Thanks.

Hey guys I am very new to growing and I have the general idea of what cloning is, taking a part of your favorite plant and cloning it? that is about as much as i know.. I want to grow 2 plants in a grow closet I am yet to build but from the looks of things building a cloning thingy-maboby is the most complicated part of a grow set up and looks quite pricey also.. So is it really necessary to have one? whats are the real benefits? the only reason i am thinking of growing is for personal use because i am sick of paying for crap amounts of bud . Thanks for any help or advice in advance guys.
