Hi guys Just started my first grow 3 weeks ago with 2 chronic seeds. They were doing well until one of them seems to have some nutrient burn. Ive got them in some vege & herb potting mix from bunnings in a small pot (i know this is bad). Im going to be transporting them(if they live) in a week or so as they are up to their 3rd set of leaves.. Will be using Yates dynamic lifter potting mix with about 30% perlite added and moving them into large pots(20L or larger? plz advise) that they will live in permanently(i hope). I cant grow directly in the ground so this is how i have to do it, dont want it to get too complex so i jst want to stick to soil for my first grow..if…

Hi guys. I am new to the forum and have not smoked weed in about 4 years. I would just like to give a bit of a background about myself and what I am hoping to achieve here: 4 years ago i was involved in an accident in which i fractured my T5 vertebrae and had to resign from my job permanently (carpet layer). I am still employed but in a much less physically demanding job. Ever since then over the last 4 years my back muscles around the old fracture over-compensate for the old injury and have cause chronic muscle tendonosis. It's like a permanent cramp along both sides of my spine. I physically cannot relax my back muscles anymore. I have been to a couple of doctors - in…

Hey guys, HAd a terrible experience with Dr Greenthumb seedbank as advertised in HighTimes - I sent them a cash order before the start of our season, and have been waiting and waiting, I finally contacted them, and was told "we never received you order" - Ok, it happens, so I wait another 2 weeks, and email for an update and was told "we don't have your order, don't ever email here again, and F off!!) To me that is crap! Just because we are half a world away they think they can treat us like that! I think that is rubbish! Without customers, business go under and especially in this industry, where the customers are trusting the company will send them what they order (l…

At the moment i am running a 6 bucket DWC setup but it is not a RDWC setup and its getting very annoying having to individually adjust ph and top up each bucket separately, so im going to start building my RDWC but i am still a little bit confused on how to create the flow or current in the setup. Using the photo below as an example, you can see the big black pump in front of the control bucket, connected to the last 2 buckets from a T-Piece, and im guessing the pump is PULLING from the t-piece and feeding back into the control bucket, Is this all that's needed to create a current and get the water to flow through all the buckets? also what happens with the resistance …

Hey Fellow growers, hope you all had a merry christmas!! Im still yet to create a proper setup, for now im just going with the flow, but I want to create a system setup, and I have an idea I wanted to run by other users who would have more experience and would be able to let me know if the design would work before I go purchasing all the parts etc. *my main requirement is to have the ability to move my plants from inside at night, to outside in the sun during the day. So one bucket per plant is probably required, as i cant see little 5 foot, 42kg me lifting a large tub full of water with multiple plants. Also important is shut off/ closure valves (I think thats what…

So I am going to be ordering 25 or so seeds via Attitude Seedbank and was just wanting to hear some other people's experiences. I am ordering to the house next door which has no one staying there but still regularly receives mail for at least 4 of the previous tenants so I know thing's being posted to that address is not unusual.

LED grow 1 2

I have just entered into the world of growing, I have successfully germinated 6 outta 8 seeds in a electric propogator. I am using a Mag357 LED and 2 planter boxes in a grow tent, I have hooked up a heater set around 24 c and have used seedling and cloning medium as my growth soil mixed with vermiculite. Also have set my timers at 18/6 light dark have set up a hydrometer and my humidity is sitting round 26% and I guess my only real concern is mildew and mold as LED doesn't give much heat, Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Im not afraid to admit, maths, ratios, percentages etc where never my forte at school, i was all about the English and Grammar (although my posts dont often show it haha) , and wouldn’t even attend maths, so i know basics, but in terms of the instructions on the back of the Canna Coco A & B nutrients, it has left me thinking...What the f**k .... the instructions: Shake bottle well before use Fill nutrient reservoir with water Add CANNA COCO A & B to the nutrient reservoir with the dilution ratio 1:25 (40 ml A and 40 ml B per 10 litre of water). Add CANNA COCO A to the nutrient reservoir Stir well, then add CANNA Coco B Again, stir well and let mixture stand for so…

Hi there, Im hoping some of you guys can help me out with this question - im growing some White Rhino, im not able to find which actual genetics i have. I'm hoping to find out how much WR normally can be expected to stretch once turned to flower? My previous train (black mamba) would basically triple in size (the sativa in it) within 14 days of turning to flower. I really want to make sure that i will 'fill out' by tent once turned. My black mamba used to be veged until they were about 40cm tall - ending up at around 1.2m. White Rhino has mainly indica and doesnt strch as much i understand. Please can anyone with the experience with WR give me some indicators? I've alr…

Ok this may be a strange question but I'm going to ask it anyway. Today I was talking "shop" with a friend I mentioned about a discussion I read on the forums the other day ( cant remember witch, 2 days without sleep and four hit's in, I think I am doing well just typing) about not harvesting until the third browning. Had not heard of that before so I did the usual and read up on it. So finally here is the question... It is believed that harvesting after the third browning improves the Flavour and Aroma of the smoke but is there an increase or decrease in the THC levels in the main Trichomes? The only reason I ask this is because I was looking at the Trich's on a …

Hello fellow gardeners I'm growing an unknown sativa dominant in a 12l (3 gal) pot (since late sept). I'm guessing I still have about 2 months before flowering. Do you think it's too late to transplant? Would I risk stressing and final yield? I'd like to go into a 50l pot to maximise growth (granted it's probably more than enough) but just concerned I've left it too late. I usually don't transplant after seedling but wouldn't mind mixing it up and trying something different with this sativa. Thoughts appreciated.
