Drfever, that is new to me and I have tried to research as much as possible. Sounds like a good idea, cheap and cheerful. just a small pinhole? Sugar and yeast I will get from store tomorrow and do first thing. How long does it last before it runs out? Do I only do it once or continuous? Sounds like a great if that mixture works :)

It does work but do a trial run first , the amount of people that have done this an added to much yeast or to much sugar and it froths up and overflows or the hole is to small and bottle pressure builds up, make 1 up overnight but leave it in the sink , remember how much of each you used. warm water works better.

If you go to wilko's Broker , you can get a 5 litre glass fermentation bottle and a bubbler with a cork , these are used for home brewing and are perfect. 6.99£ in total , they also sell the yeast tablets or powder.

Is that short for Wilkinsons .... I have one nearby but I would ideally like to use the litre bottles purely because the room i have either side of the drain off tanks is very limited. The tent is only small I will experiment with one tomorrow I don't have work for another week so nothing else to do really.1 heaped teaspoon yeast to 1 plastic up sugar... Warm water. I'll pierce the old with something thin as I'm guessing a small knife hole will be too much air?

hey all if you growing in soil might i suggest bumping up your ph to min 6.8 to 7.0 remember lower th ph value the more acidic your soil becomes try to maintain nuetreal 7.0 I'd have to seriously disagree ! PH of 6.5 (perfect for soil) to 6.8 in ideal in soil. At 7.0 you begin to lose Nitrogen AND Phosphorous.
i kinda raced thu this thread so heres my input if you like you mentione leafs turning lighter green common when plants are hungry bump up your feedings
other plants are fine but you got couple doing this ????? not all plants react the same think of them like your or me i may eat more then you and you may be bigger then me lol all plants react differently remember that

you noticed yellowing???
yelowing is cause by only 2 things really 1 is over watering 2 is ph fluctuations LMAO....Where are getting your misguided info ? Nitrogen and Cal/Mag deficiencies are the MAIN 2 reasons for yellowing of fan leaves. Over watering = flushing nutrients = nutrient deficiency !!
Remember ph your nutrients after you mix most nutrients have a buffer in them

when transplanting try not to disturb to much of the root system this way transplanting will go with out any stressing to the plant if plant gets stressed out it takes alot longer to recover And strike 3 ! NO stress in transplanting is virtually impossible. You will ALWAYS stress the plant when transplanting, especially in soil. It could range from minor (slowed growth) to major (slow/no growth, serious wilting,etc. and even death), but stress will and does happen during transplant ! It's unavoidable since you are disturbing the root sytem and placing them in a new environment.

I hope this info helps you in some way Cheers

Here's more science based evidence once again.
I'd also suggest buying a reputable book to help you in the future, BrokerJ.

I am keen to see people's responses flow... I can only hope that it doesn't affect my plants too badly and that they start to grow back... The roots did look nice and healthy though. Huge tailback when it was loose

Wilkinsons yup , it wont take up any more floor space and the bubbler stops any accidents. Flo grow is B for bromide ?

Cool, but that kind will cause probs for a newbie !

No, Boron.

I disagree Flo-Grow , in this instance his plants will benefit from the re-pot and improved soil mix, his plants were already stressed and i have performed many a re-pot or transplant with no slowed growth at all.

I never said they wouldn't benefit.
Re-read what I was responding too.
And shock occurs, if it's minor and SEEMS like none took place.

I've grown many a strains in every pot and size damn near, in coco or pro-mix mixed with perlite, teas, etc...
Round pots
Square pots
Smart Pots
Air Pots
I have them all, and it always happens.

I'll check on ya in a week or so BrokerJ !
PM me if want or need to.

Thanks flo I will keep wishing for the best and hopefully this will solve my issue... I did have a question for you though... On your chart it clearly shows that 5.8 would be best, but does that include coco? I believe when we spoke yesterday you also told me that you use canna a and b? Or was that somebody else's schedule you sent. I was wondering as a coco grower when bestto start the a and b after a re plant with new medium? Thanks

[h=2]Dry soil, water-logged soil, overly bright light, too little light, cold, or sudden changes in the environment.[/h]
Leaves occasionally turn yellow and drop off indoor plants. Do not be concerned if only a few leaves are affected. But if more than a few leaves start to turn light green or yellow, you may have a problem.

Physical injury to a leaf, while the leaf was forming or after maturity, may cause it to turn yellow and fall off. Other causes of leaf yellowing and leaf dropping are: Dry soil, water-logged soil, overly bright light, too little light, cold, or sudden changes in the environment. As you can see, there are many causes. Any of these factors can stress the plant. The most common response a plant has to stress is to drop some of its leaves. Let's look at some of these causes.

Light is important in order for the plant to maintain healthy green leaves. Light influences the plant's ability to make food and to keep its leaves in good condition. When new leaves appear, old leaves often turn yellow and fall off. This is not unusual because this is how the plant balances available light and the appearance of new leaves. The oldest leaves decline first when there is inadequate food to support the entire plant. This is a normal process.

A damaged root system can also causes a plant's leaves to turn yellow. Root injury may occur due to excessive use of fertilizers, high populations of insects feeding on the root system, lack of water or too much water. Too much water can accumulate if there are no drainage holes in the pot, or if the pot is allowed to stand in a saucer holding the drainage from the last watering. Standing in water can cause the plant's roots to die and the plant itself to yellow and die.

If many leaves of a plant suddenly turn yellow within a day or two, the plant may have been exposed to cold temperatures or to toxic gasses, i.e. gas from a kitchen stove is toxic to some plants. Plants near a window often lose leaves after a sharp cold spell. Plants moved from a store into a home, or even from one room to another, often lose many leaves due to sudden temperature changes. In these cases, a plant will usually recover if the change is not too extreme.

There are no simple answers to the question of why leaves often turn yellow. One must examine the plant's history, environment, watering and soil conditions, in the hope of identifying the primary source of the problem.
