My first grow for this year

The tester in refering too is where you put like dye in your water prior yo watering/feeding and it will change colour depending on the ph level

Thats the one. As for pots from bunnings turn them upside down and you will see their size on the bottom.

No need to worry about water PH with soil, the organic matter "buffers" the PH. As long as the soil PH is in the right range you are good.

Ok well thats good to know i will get a soil ph probe from bunnings then also just a question you dont happen to grow autos much do you ?

dont buy this piece of shit from bunnings.

the soil kit from Manutec is more accurate.

once you've got the reading at the start you only need to test once a week to see how the soil is reacting to the uptake of nutrients.

as the nutes in the soil get processed by the plant the soil becomes more acidic and then may need adjusting to keep it in the sweet range.

Thanks man i appreciate the help so my next question is i have 2 hindu kush autos i want to try, now i have tried a couple autos in the past and received about 0.5 grams per plant they were tiny, so my question to you is can you please tell me exactly what your doing for yours, e.g pot size soil and nutes? Because i would really like to grow a plant over 4 inches as thats the best i have honestly done? And thats small haha thanks

If it is in pots you do! Same as growing in any medium in pots. And that is for all of earth mothers plants.

I gave up on autos as they are all different in what and how much nutes you give them, some need high doses of nitrogen other not so much, that was one problem I had. Only real way to find out what they need is to try and contact the breeder and ask. But remember PH is important in POTs. Regular soil growing in the back yard is pretty much fool proof if the soil is in good condition.
