My fellow horticulturalists, Has anyone tried propagating plants using leaf cuttings? And has there been any success? I am currently doing two experiments: 1) with a tiny leaf with a small piece of stem attached, dipped in clonex purple and set in sphagnum moss in a cup under plastic wrap. After a week the leaf is still green, but no signs of growth. Female parent plant, basically Colombian Gold two month old plant. 2) is a fan leaf with seven segments and leaf petiole attached. No stem tissue. I dipped the base of the petiole in clonex purple and set in sphagnum moss with no cover on an inside window sill. Only done today so no progress to report. Male parent plan…

G'day mates. Due to the high amount of overpriced mycorrhizal products on the cannabis market,I thought this might be handy. https://moldresistantstrains.com/diy-how-to-make-mycorrhizal-fungi-inoculant/ It only costs a few dollars in materials and your local soil and can make more mycorrhizal fungi propagules than most people could afford to buy. Also I learned to avoid ectomycorrhizal propagules, as cannabis and the other annual plants are all associated with endomycorrhizal and they cant associate with the other. Cheers.

Okay guys so heres the situation. I have 12 double powerpoints in my shed. Its a big workshop. I have 2 x 15amp circuits on fusebox for power. My tent is situated in the back part of my shed. Theres like 4 double powerpoints down there. So... I have a 6 outlet growlush 600w box timer with two cords comin off it. I plugged one powercord into one powersocket.

I'm sure the answer is out there but doing a search for "ec" is tricky. So I bought a $50 EC pen (Hydro Axis or something) because I'm getting ready for a noob DWC grow and I thought I needed it(?). I couldn't figure out how to get to the batteries so I used a screwdriver in a hole which I later realised is the calibration dial thing. Oops. I also think I broke the dial thing. Oops x 2. Anyhow, I put the end in a small bucket of tap water and the display stayed at 00. I mixed a splash of nutes in and it read 04. Another bigger splash and it read 18, Could it be the display doesn't have a decimal point, ie 04 = 0.4 and 18 = 1.8 EC? Also, what is the EC of Melbourne tap…

Has anyone bought Colloidal Silver over the counter or online in Australia and used it successfully to make a female plant produce male flowers so I can use the pollen on another female plant to make seeds, and if so what brand and where.

Just wondering what everyone else does here. Im in coco and always read 5.8 is optimal. Sometimes I mix up and put too little or too much pH down so get readings of anywhere between 5.5 and 6.5. I know it's important and have seen the graphs at what pH levels certain nutes get absorbed by the plant but do people feed at varying levels between 5.5 and 6.5 or always important to aim for the 5.8 Eg.typical scenerio, MLG has a 45 litre tub which he's just filled. Puts too much pH down and its sitting at 5.5. Leave as is or pour some out and try to get to 5.8? On the opposite, sitting at 6.4, ok as is or must add more pH down?
