    PH Tester Recommendation

    Hi, can anyone recommend a digital PH tester? I want to use this for mary, as well as an outdoor garden. I tried one of those cheapo ones ($8.00 at my grow store), but that was as useless as using a pencil. The needle was ALWAYS on 7 no matter what it was in. I even stuck it in a lemon and...

    seeds not germinating

    ok, I've been trying to germinate a bunch of seeds, and none of them are rooting. Never had this problem before, using the same seeds. I am trying all different methods, trying to get at least some of them started. Some in wet paper towels, some in cloth rags, some in Fox Farm in peat cups...

    Cloning problem

    Metal Halide Bulb question

    Lowes is selling a Sylvania 400 Watt Metal Halide bulb for $28.98, and I'm thinking on picking it up to complement my 4ft T5. This MH bulb looks like it has a regular screw-in bottom. So the question is, do they require a special MH base, or can this just be screwed into a regular socket...

    Peat Moss

    Hi all, can I use regular peat moss to grow in, and add nutes as needed? I'm new, and have not had good luck with nutes/PH. My thought is, since peat moss is like 5.0 PH, it would be hard to have leaf burn, as long as I don't over-kill with nitrogen. I know my PH is always off, because I'm...
