I'm happy with them lol but I gotta run out and get a small fan cause nothing has been blowing over them since sprout

How did you germinate them Grape? Very interested to know. I've had a few issues recently.

I fill a cup of water with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. I drop the seeds in that and in about 24-48 hours they will have tap roots coming out... I usually wait until they're about half a cm long but they're good to go when they are just barely cracked. Then I put em in rockwool cubes and keep em nice and wet. I think warmth speeds up the process

That is what I'm doing next time around. How warm do you have the water in the cup?

I'm not sure about the warmth part. I do mine at room temp and always works.

Sound stuff mate. Thanks for the tip

Looking good Grape, don't throw any away! Hows the Blue Kush and Purple doing?

Has anyone had any experience with PH buffer solution? Want to calibrate my PH meter and wondered what's best to use. Oh and how to do it.

Yes mate, I use pH 7 buffer to calibrate. On mine you just press the calibrate button, dip it in the solution and wait till it beeps. Its meant to be more accurate if you use pH 7 and pH 4 buffer.
Remember how I said my pH meters fucked? It was actually the pH buffer that was fucked, it kept giving me an error code. Need to replace it every 6 months apparently.

Good to no. So I need to buy ph 4 and 7 correct? And by the sounds of it it's easy to do?

I think either 4 or 7 will do. 7 if you measure closer to 7 and vice versa

Very easy to do mate, you can just use ph7 though, thats what I have always done, but read the other day that its more accurate if you calibrate it with both. When you press the calibrate button it will come up with the number 7, dip it in the solution. If you press calibrate twice it will come up with 4 so you dip it in that solution. Thats how mine works anyways, yours won't be much different I wouldn't have thought.

Guys. A wealth of info as per usual. Thanks for your help. I will purchase in the next week or so.

You're welcome mate. I need to get some more, i'm just going to continue using ph7 by itself, Its accurate enough.

That's what I'll do mate

This is officially a thread for the little ones (2 Power Kush, 1 Mendocino Purple Kush, 1 Brainstorm).
There isn't much happening with the big ones... I'll post pics in a couple of weeks when I harvest.
Just upped nutes tonight (I always forget to up the nutes maybe that's why they're growing so slowly).
Also on the Purple Kush I can see purpling on the underside of the leaves... this could be from the cold or it's the beautiful purple pheno I've been looking for

Sound, looking forward to seeing the Blue Kush finished. An the young ones are looking healthy mate, hopefully it's the one you've been looking for!

I have to say though, I'm not very happy with the Blue Kush indoors... she has done so much better outdoors.

Looking good Grape. Healthy little girls. Can wait to see the harvest pics

Might give the Blue Kush a miss then in future? Lets see what she turns out like.
