whats up with my p.h?

i used some daltons tomato mix wih terazila plus vermiculite with sand. p.h was alright in last mix now went to repot couple clone so flushd some soil and testd p.h,.
tryd to adjust it as it was very low, but now it wont go up even flushing it with 8 p.h+ water.
but it stays 5.5 and under. should i add some lime? i havnt used it b4.
it was high lastym frm the terazilla so thought extra daltons would lower it and it did.
just too much. i heard vermiculite helpd balance p.h. may try some eggshels crushd in the soil.. anythng else i can try?

yea ... just did some myself (Maerl that is) but Dolomit lime is fine .. had 5-5,5 in my soil .. did just add some on top of the soil (a few tespoons) and waterd with normal 6,5 water ..

works best if you can add it in the soil (when you repot or so) but my girls are in 7 gallon pots 3 weeks in 12/12 ..
 
hope so. they dont seem to b stunted or anything. im gona have some bacon and eggs so i can put sum shelz in the soil. found that tip on the net but havnt tryd it yet. haha. heres my grafted plant of both my 2 mothers. thought one strain take longer to flower than the other but ones got nicer formation so i grafted them. i havnt herd the term grafting used much i think it an old term. wat would you call it theze dayz? breeding. na doubt it. il js stik wit grafting haha2012-06-29 08.44.46.jpg

3.7 liters to a gallon, you can find any answer online just type* it into google search barbongsmilie
edit: also i believe grafting is a tek where you clone a plant onto another one
 
yep thats grafting. this plant has botom part difrent strain. its wrapd with cotton wool. u only need small section of stem to cross the genetics of them they join together eventualy. its my first try and its alive 3 days later with the help of clone start..
 
how come people dont do it more often instead of breeding fem seeds? do many people breed fem seeds. i no not in n.z. il giv it a go. gibberellic acid or colloidal silver? i can make a silver solution but may not work as well and need some pure silver, 9v battery, clips, wire and distilled water. i found that on google lol.
 
kol. thnks. gota go buy some. wil recheck p.h b4 i go to see if it right b4 i go spending hard earned benefit money haha. thank you work and income haha any case managers from winz on this site? hahaha

i think grafting is less about trying to mix strains genotypes (breeding), and more about getting a solid root system on a plant that dosent grow roots so well, or so medical growers can keep their plant #s down.. im sure there will be some noticeable differences in a grafted plant, but nothing like what youll get from breeding...so there really not even close to the same thing...also fuck fem seeds, reg seeds all day bro

edit: this a good vid about grafting, and the reason for doing it
