General Cultivation Q&A

So I have had a 5 drop ph test, cheap ph meter and now finishing my one drop PH test kit. What do people use? I’d like another digital one, but get the feeling the one drop test is always easier.

Does anyone use a light meter to determine how high off the canopy to place their hps light? With my recent taco leaves I've downloaded a light meter app to my phone. I'll give it a whirl tonight and post results here. Seems like I've got a thick skinned back of my hand so for me that method doesn't work MLG Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hello, I'm after some help putting together nutrients for a small hydro 2x veg + 2x flower (~20L tank each) hydroponic recycling system with hydroton clay pebbles. But need nutrients from Bunnings/Yates/Coles/etc! The nearest hydro shop from me is a couple hours away and I'm helping a friend set up a small grow as he had great success with THC+CBD during chemotherapy, but he wants to keep things fairly simple and he has security concerns even with paying cash at hydro shops (whether valid or not), and would prefer the convenience and affordability of being able to get something that's available at local places like Bunnings, Yates nurseries, or Coles/Woolies etc. Yes, …

Hi, New to the forum. Haven't grown in a while but have built a greenhouse out of my old chook pen and am hoping to get a decent grown in this season. I have a question about potassium. I used to use condy's crystals (potassium permanganate) on my girls when they were flowering which made a noticeable difference.
