Re: Sulphur chips as slow release substrate acidifier?

The rate of change of soil pH will depend on the physical form of the sulphur as well as the amount. Surface area of a given weight of “chips” will be much reduced compared to that of powdered “flowers of sulphur” type products - the latter may give a relatively short lived spike

Re: Death to Mealy Bugs

Could be Sunday morning myopia, but I couldn’t see any reference to flupyradifurone on the bottle label or the MSDS. The only things mentioned are the two isothiazolinones, the chloro derivative of which is a common biocide.

Re: Supplier of Plantpak 7K pots?

Plantpak arent the only m/f of course. I found a UK supplier for Soparco - https://www.bhgsltd.co.uk/ProductGrp/br ... s-standard

Caveat emptor though, i haven’t tried them yet.

Re: Ralph Martin. Seed raising talk

Well i used to douse all my seedlings with Chinosol, but Koehres’ website claims that it is actually a germination inhibitor. However, certainly doesn't lead to complete inhibition, and is probably better than having damping off rampaging thru your babies…..
Now i just microwave

Supplier of Plantpak 7K pots?

Hi folks, does anyone know of a supplier of the above (or equivalent) please? I need 1000 or so. I use BEF for most things, but find these are a cheaper alternative for ocd propagation plants. Not looking for those awful disposable things btw 😂, cheers Nick

Re: The Mesembs thread: from seed to flower

Wonderful compact growth and gorgeous pictures :)
What lights do you use? I`m getting good results with MarsHydro equipment although at present i only use them for Winter growers - i think the plants appreciate the money spent :)
