PH Down is pretty easy to make but is anyone making their own PH Up? I don't really like the idea of baking soda (it works in a pinch) but not sure who locally would carry Potassium Hydroxide.

Edit: No, there are no hydro or grow shop with in even 150km of me :(
You could possibly use sodium hydroxide (lye will be this or potassium hydroxide) which is available at pretty much any hardware store (if you have one).

Potassium hydroxide is used to make liquid detergents.

There are a couple online retailers specializing in hobby soap/beauty products that carry it.

Grafting works!

That tagged branch of my NL mom has a c4 scion just above the first node.

Now that I've proved it works I'm going to graft all my keepers on to this rootball and free up my small plant count.

Very happy day!
Kool concept, but all new growth with be NL. You're gonna have to do a lot of selective pruning to keep new growth separated from grafted growth.

What makes you think the gentetic material of the parent plant will pass to the scion? Why doesn't this happen with Apple or citrus? All growth after the graft point will be c4. Everything below will be NL.
