I dunno where to put this so mods if it isnt in the right spot please move it :-D Hello all last night i filled up my 10litre jug with rainwater and tested the PH it came to 6.3 which is perfect for me. So i thought great i am going to start using rain water. Well i woke up this morening and for some reason i decided to test the water again and it came to 7.8 OMFG. I though WOW! whats going on so i grabbed some ph7 calibration buffer and my meter is reading perfect. All i wanna know is has anyone ever had water fluctuate that much overnight? is this normall? is it possible that the plastic container is leeching acidity into my water? any help would be very gratefu…

When I started growing I bought this stupid electro CO2 thing, anyway when I bought it I was told it was cheap to run, anyway I used it for a growth cycle and half of flowering and then the crystals ran out so I went to Bunnings warehouse and they didn't know what I was talking about, so I went to the local hydro store and they had a little kilo container of the shit for $40 or sumthing, anyhoo I cant pay $40 for 6 weeks or whatever, could I get it from a science lab? I haven't used it for 3 years now. cheers -wc

I read on another site about a bloke who urinates in his nutrient every other day.....says it makes his plants grow faster. The chinese also used it to make gunpowder in the olden days, and inmates in cold third world prisons use it to heal chilblanes and other ailments. Anyone heard of other uses without mentioning "golden Showers"

i've been growing outdoors for a while now and have a fair idea of whats going on etc. I'm about to embark on my great journy indoors soon and was wondering from other peoples encounters which they find works out better, indoor soil with controlled nute feeding system or a full blown hydro setup ? just concerned about the upfront effort & time taken for the initial setup and result as i want to use my outdoor plants for clones for my first grow. Just curious as to thoughts and opinions.....

at the hydro shop today and asked the guy about PH up. He said that instead of using chems that the plants can't use he recommends a product called "Silica plus". He said its normaly used as a foliar feed but can also be used to raise PH, and will help growth either way. I seem to remember a thread with "swing" in which some raised a concern about using silica....or have I got my wires crossed? anyway I told the guy I had heard that silica may be bad for you and he said he didn't know why, because it is a naturally occurring substance and is absorbed through the root system. anyway, I decided to leave it, just wondering if anyone else here had an opinion.

Guys, i have some 2 week old seedlings just growing out in the sun in pots. the nights are getting colder in brizzy and i was wondering if i could repot them into bigger pots and put them under the house with a 250 or 400 metal halide over them? if its viable, how do i keep them warm at night or do i keep the lights on 24/7 to help with warmth? Will a good potting mix be ok? Also i lashed out and bought some A&B CANNA VEGE nutes, can i use this in soil or is it mainly for hydroponics?

Hi all, I want to start keeping some mums for future clones but i need some help on keeping them alive. I will have 4 under 3 CF's, Do i need more light?. They are in dirt so i dont have to care for them to much. How often do i feed? and at what strength do i feed?. At the moment i have some Miracle-Gro 15, 13.1, 12.4, Will this be ok or should i use something else?. I will also be adding some more CF's in the future, The size of space is, 2ft x 1 1/2ft x 2ft high. Thanks heaps, Much appreciated, Paranoid.
