I have a timer in my house but 2 prongs can only plug into the timer and my HPS light has three prongs. My question is can I plug the timer into a Surge Protector then plug my HPS light into the Surge Protector then plug the surge protector? will the timer work on my HPS light after I do this?
Okay I got a hot new digital thermometer from my local hardware store even though u guys didnt answer me. Now its time to transplant. Should I water the soil after I finish transplanting? The soil is already nice and moist. How should I got about it? Any tips would be great. I tryed to look for some products today to give the plants after I transplanted but all they had was fertilizers and root stimulaters.
Will it work to ultimately plug a 3-prong light into a 2-prong timer? Yes, but it won't be grounded so you are better off just buying a grounded timer for under 10 bucks. Using a surge protector in this set-up doesn't change anything. Transplanting now is fine. Water the new soil around the root ball. Then let the new larger pot dry out a bit (don't keep it moist all the time). Next few times you water, put the water in around the fringes, where the "new" soil is, and not so much on top of the original root ball. This will help the roots to stretch into the new soil to seek out the water there.
You mean timer? you realy need that ground plug for safety (safety first; "if your dead you can't smoke" King pin) it can stop fires. To transplant; put some soil in your new container to make up the hieght difference and dampen it till it compresses a little. Dump the plant out of the old pot (don't yank it up by the stem) and place it in the new pot.fill in the soil around the rootball and pack it pretty good. water it good with plain water or very light nutes. some voids might show, add more soil and water that down. start fertilizing after it gets dry again. I like to use spray-and-grow it helps with the stress of a transplant.
