Howdy all I have a question about Plant growth regulators. I rarely use them but want to try it on my shiva skunk. When I have used it Ive found no real increase in yield is this normal? and I usually apply it at the end of week two. So given that i have no height restrictions when is the best time to apply it? Day 1 of flower or later? Also I have Psycho Flower, 2 part (new and improved) and Hulk. Are either of these products superior to the other? Thanks! Please this is not a debate about the use of pgr's.

Howdy all. I was just filling up my sprayer this morning to apply some seasol and it occurred to me the ph would probably have an effect on absorbtion rates. I once heard a story of a council worker applying weed kiler and he reckoned lowering the ph to 4.5 or there abouts he only had to use a third as much to get the desired outcome. I'm figuring that plants naturally take up rain water best through the leaves and it has a ph of 5.2. Just thought Id raise the topic and if anyone has something to add please do. RR

Ive got a sheight load of silica here and haven't been using it because it stuffs up my ph over a 48 hour period and I'm hand watering my plants daily in 10 liter watering cans(I like to keep things unsophisticated). Ive been thinking about using it along with seasol and straight water as part of a fortnight/monthly flushing regime just to get it into the medium. What do people think? Will I see a marked difference using silica?

Hi peeps, i need help desperatly with my plants i am using a BCNorthern lights Bloombox and i have just put my plants into the flowering chamber, on a mild nutrient mix on 12/12 cycle. The thing is think i fooked it all up today. I have listened to a so called mate of mine and trimmed back the plants today. i immediatley felt i had done something wrong. I have taken off several large fan leafs off the plants carefully with a scapel at a 45 degree angle, but they look a bit bare now. They stand at about 6 inches high and were very very healthy. i am worried they might die now as i dont know if i should have trimmed it back. can anybody help me please?

So first of all, greetings from a first time sydney grower. I bought some seeds, the first one I attempted to germinate was called "Nemesis" which is a Northern Indian x Nepali strain. I used the paper towel method but no luck for a week, so I thought this seed is a dud, thought what the hell, and planted him in a big pot with regular herbs out the back. Looked a few days later and found this. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/nitro_D/Image001.jpg Im not 100% sure if this is the same seed or from one of the other herb plants? Can anyone identify it? And after that I planted a "Church" from greenhouse seeds, used the paper towel method but left it on top a dv…

I was just looking at the strain guide for Celtic Stone and Big Stone. On the Celtic Stone it says that it is used a lot for depressed and anxious patients.... I was wondering why this is so because it seems that Big Stone is much more heavily Indica, so wouldn't that be better for anxiety? Also it says on Celtic Stone "We will be releasing 2 stable phenos: 1) The Donkey Dik Pheno, and 2) The BIG yeilding Xmass Tree Pheno." Are these the actual names if I wanted to order seeds? And where would I get them? with guarantee it is correct strain.

Hey whats up, I havent been online in a few years, but OZ/Canna Nation is by far my favorite place to talk! I have a old Magnetic 400MH and Hps ballasts. MY MH blew a capacitor yesterday (luckily i was in the right place to keep from burning down!!). I was looking to get a digi, and I came across this Quantum 600 and 1000 dimmable ballasts, 100/75/50 %. Everyone that has one says they are sweet. And for 220 US, there the same as a lumatek or any other digi, plus it works on 50-60 hz. 120 or 240, with both cords, and fires both hps and MH. No iterference, 15% lower heat. And I can think of a few ways to actually use the dimming feature. They are testing on bulbs to see if …

The instructions on the back of the "Canna Boost" bottle say, "in the final 1-2 weeks of flowering, flush with plain water with Cannazym & Canna Boost added. PH adjustment is not critical at this stage" Has anyone tried this? does it make any appreciable difference to quality as opposed to flushing with plain water? At $200 a bottle, I don't want to waste it if I don't have too!
