Raising soil pH

[Dutch Pimp]

I have several hybrids in 5 gallon pots I want to try this on DP.......what kind of signs do you see once you have done this and what kind of stress does it put on the plant?

Threadjack.....sorry.....but it still all relates

I did 13 females, 2 weeks into flowering...using this method back in 2005. Never lost a single leaf. I do it quick and trim away about 50% of the feeder roots and shake as much old soil off, as possible. I'm not sure why slicing the rootball from four directions with a sharp knife is needed...but, I do as I'm told ...:stoned: I think the root stimulator is needed too, very weak dose.

What kind of root stimulater are you guys using?

[Dutch Pimp]

Root Stimulator-by ferti-lome. $3.95 pint. (4-10-3) I use like one or two drops per quart....

No ..that's how much I put in my coffee...:stoned:...I put a nimble full in a quart of water for the plants....:jointsmile:

I bought some Green Light Root Stimulator (5-15-5) from Lowe's yesterday. I used 1.5 Tbsp per gallon. That's about half strength according to the label.

The plants are looking great this morning. Lush green and I think the cola's grew about an inch since yesterday. I'll take pics tomorrow. Thanks for your help!!!

That's what we like to hear! :thumbsup: And look, I just got a whole new bunch of cool info that we will be trying on my own plants too; so win win I say.

Upon reflection......you and I both learned something......Dutch Pimp only had the pleasure of our company for his reward......but....oh well.....that's his problem.

Time well spent...:thumbsup:

Since I can't share my harvest with either of you, you'll have to settle with a few karma points. What goes around, comes around! :rastasmoke:

[dillhole]

but my wife had to do the doctor and hospital thang... I'm sure most of you here know what that's like She's fine now though, glad to be at home:thumbsup:

On to a happier subject, my plants have been busy!!! They've gotten frosty in my absence. I don't know if it was the flush or the fresh soil that did it (or both) but they seem very happy! I'll update my grow log when I have more time.

Thanks again for your help!!!
