i got some the other day but only just using it. something else thats doing my head in, last week i checked the ph of the tap water and it was approx 7.6 and last night i just checked it again and it was 6!, what the feck is going on with the water. how can it fluctuate so much, is there anything that effects the ph in tap water?

its upto the person you are writing to, if you check your settings tonto it states who you want to recieve pms off, you can chose everyone, contacts only and no one. so it all depends on who you are writing to!

Cos would the phosphoric acid or potassium hydroxide not seriously damage the microorganisms in the soil that make nutrients available and upset the buffers already in the soil? (Present in most pot growing soils).
That was my reasonings behind not pHing Biobizz, plus I found whenever I added it to tap water it always came out between 6.2 and 6.5 anyways cos its pretty acidic and the link I posted before about agricultural soil nutrient availabilty not needing pH correcting because the soil pH swings within the "available" range anyways?
Not trying to be a dick or know-it-all, I hate those people, just trying to save fellow boys the hassle!

And you also find it ok in soil to not pH? I mean if you way overfeed or something Im sure it'll upset the pH of the soil itself cos it'll be full of acid shite deposits but on a normal feeding regime I dont see why people would need to. I dont pH personally even tho Iv a Hanna meter and pH up and down.

all the times ive asked about it ive been told it is actually used by the plant, also it is god for it!, i dont know, i know lots of people are using it but if you are getting those ph levels harrekin then i would not go near it. i will have to get some ph up aswell. dont know what is going on with the water in our gaf, what the hell are they putting into it thats making it fluctuate so much.
on the other hand last nght i used water from the tank cos i was upstairs and last week i tested the water from the mains tap downstairs. i wonder if the water standing in the tank and had anything to do witht he ph, does chlorine effect the ph at all? think i might do some research on it later. if its not one thing its another.lol!

yes thats what i was thinking because when i tested the water last week it would have been full of chlorine, i wonder if the chlorine has an effect on other ph balancing properties in water?
Not all is lost in this first endeavour... I give you... my new lady!
Delighted to get a girl out of my first effort!
Noob questions of the day:
Where will the main kola start on the two biggest ones? I topped and lst'd this one to get as much experience as I could and ended up with four main stems. Also can I be cheecky enough to ask ye to estimate a yeild...?

Two of my AK48 seeds have popped the surface, Id say the others will follow soon...and the clone I took from the strongest Snow White is starting to show bumps on its stem so it should be time to plant it soon, leaves are all still nice and green. Gonna reveg it, take more clones then plant the clones outside.
EDIT: Kubla, you wont get "main colas" per say, you'll get 4 smaller than cola buds (starting at the top of the four main stems around week 4 of flower) and a field of popcorn...more trimming but it should be worth it.

chlorine can have an effect on the ph of water depending on how strong it is! chlorine that is used for pools is usually at a ph of 11.7. Im sure it would be toxic for the plant before it changed the ph of the water to much thou!
Oh yeah, my dad and both his parents are from Ireland O'Doherty family here!
Ive got green in me blood and green in me pipe! lol!
Nice one on the AK man, that's some lovely smoke!
And cheers for the reply on my effort, I know it's not the eight wonder or anything but I'm just buzzin after getting a lady, I'd myself convinced I'd got nothing! What do you reckon I could look at getting off it??
Started two Low Ryder beans this morning too, they'll be inside for the next week or so and then put out.
Also lookin' at gettin some Pineapple chunk seeds, anyone grow/smoked this? I've had Pineapple Express and its been my favourite since, I''m just wondering if the Pineapple Chunk is very similar? I can't find anything on the genetics of Pineapple express so I'm at a loss..
Hope ye're all enjoyin the weather lads!

You'll be surprised how much you pull off it if you include all the popcorn, just cut the smallest of buds off and throw them in a paper bag in the top of your tent to dry, kinda turn the buds every day. Guarantee you'll get more than just hashing them, and a smoke is a smoke when you've nothing else, your bottom buds may not be colas, but they wont be blasted with silica and other shite and still much stronger than standard "mall dope".
