Update

 

Well I've been in hospital for the last week so heres an update on my 2 girls.

 

Ivy the white widow has now been renamed, Mary... She has shown no signs of growth and looks like she won't make it, Anytips anyone?

[AzZa-]

Everyone meet the new ivy one of the 3 baggy seeds, The other two didn't make it..

 

When should i start her on nutirents?

I think that Mary needs you to check her PH and take corrective measures.

yes she is looking horrible, How much will a decent PH meter set me back?

[Ferre]

...and let her breath, AzZa- , she needs some oxigen too.

 

(**is that how ya spell it, "oxigen"? )

oxygen tboat

 

azza, you can buy a PH test kit for soil (from Nursery or Bunnings). Can't remember the price but I think they're under $20. You can also get PH meters for about the same price, but I don't know how accurate they would be.

Accurate enough, I use the meter on a probe type one, a water one is also a good idea for the new soil growers too.

Growing in Cocopeat...

 

I don't mind investing into a decent one with a electronic probe and stuff...

 

But some recommendations on good brands i wouldn't mind.

AzZa-

 

If you go to Bunnings, they do a probe for around $20 that is a dual moisture and PH metre. I used it for measuring my moisture levels so I know when to water but to test my PH I use a liquid soil test kit which you can also get from bunnings at around $20 as I don't think the probe is as acurate at measuring the PH as it is the moisture.

 

I've become a bit of a Ph expert this last week as I made the mistake of getting Bunnings organic potting mix which is so alkaline you could start ya car with it!!... and yes I found out the hard way (yellowing stunted seedlings).

 

I hope this helps
