I'm no legal buff, but from a number of experienced people I have heard that between 6-8 plants is when things get serious. 1 plant grow in soil outside would surely not result in jail time, I highly doubt you'd even get a record, but I have no idea what a cop would do if they found the plant and saw you were on a suspended sentence. They wouldn't be worried about the quantity, but an over zealous copper might push the envelope just to teach you a lesson.. And that would suck balls.

In the end what's the point of growing 1 plant? I advise you don't grow indoors, as simply having the setup could be enough reason for them to think you're intent on producing/selling.

really? a suspended sentence means any further offence will put you in jail. you don't get fined, you don't get cautioned, you pass go and don't collect any good things.


oh and buttery420 :wall:

you can only breach the suspended sentence if the crime u commit is punishable bye jail time if it is only a fine for growing 1 plant l wont be breaching my suspended sentence if that makes sence

Sorry to have offended you, thought you were being sarcastic as well. Australia day is a day that celebrates genocide and something that I find offensive.
Mate you live the good life here... So fucking deal with it.. We've apologised for it and we aren't the first nation to kill its natives...

Get over yourself... Past is past...

And if any party can't move on, can they please open a new thread for the discussion so it doesn't get crazy off topic in here.

pH pens are notoriously inaccurate, the best way still is to use a fish tank indicator kit... Just buy the cheap one with solution... It never gets it wrong... As long as your pH is around 6.0 you wont have issues, you only want to lower it if you are growing with Canna products they work best at 5.6-5.8, hydro set ups like a low pH also ... Seedlings need a low pH too, but other wise 6.0 is good... The more yellow the solution is after you test the better it is... Don't go too balistic with pH down, its still an acid... I live in NSW/ACT and the pH here is around 7.0...:-( I use pH down all the time, I also use lots of airstones it affects the pH...

how can u compare a test kit to a ph pen thats accurate upto a 0.02 ph ? and i find that unless u have a really good eye matching skills your never gonna get it to the point u want it

Does someone go round probing the soil next to each plant in the world to make sure it's ph is accurate to within 0.02? Weed will happily grow in ph between 5.5 and 6.5 approx, and I've grown without pH down/test kit which meant pH was around 7.. Plants were fine. You simply don't need to be that accurate with your pH, though fine tuning can help.

I can eyeball colours without a problem to within around 0.5 of actual I'd say, and the fact I haven't had a ph problem backs that up. Pens take out the guesswork and as has now been said a few times they are most accurate.. But just look at your current issue; your ph is out by around 1 whole point, and your only way of know is because you're clever enough to recognize that your tap water ph can't be that low.

Seems to me you should recalibrate in the ph 7 fluid and try again.

I can't get freaking pics from my phone to my comp, stupid iPhone is recognize in iTunes and not in windows. Reinstalled drivers and software and tried a few different tricks, even resorting to restoring factory settings in the phone... Nothing! And now I have to jailbreak again and get all my apps back - and it means my computer is fucking up AGAIN even on windows 7.
