Hi guys! Im back for the summer ... Well Ive decided to chuck one plant in this year and get her pretty big like I do prety much every year.... Im not quite sure whether I should go with mazar which ive previously grown or get some northern lights by sensi. I like squat bushy plants. The mazar smell near flower was quite strong and has quite a pugent odour... I also got some damn mould on her that I lost about 2 OZs but she was a shortish flowering plant which was good. It was just the stupid sydney rains that came I guess............but it was a fantastic smoke. Almost tooo strong. if someone can compare northernlights by sensi, or DP mazar please give me some insi…

Hey guys, Midway through my first indoor run. Running 6 x 8L pots filled with a 60/40 mix coco and perlite in a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m space. Currently I'm hand watering 1L twice a day (which easily gives 30% or so runoff) but I really want to setup a automatic DRAIN TO WASTE system with homemade drip rings feed 3-5 times a day. I've been reading up on them for the past couple of days but still unsure about a few things. At the moment I'm going through about 12L of feed a day. How do I calculate how long and how often I would leave the pump on to see great hydro results? How big should my res be? What sort of pump is best? Would gravity feeding be possibl…

Hi fellow Stoners I've been lurking for a while, but now I make my intoduction... HELLO!!! Just settling in to residency, and thought it was time to stop taking a risk by scoring off a dealer and spending cash on average standard meds. I'm not new to growing, done a couple of DWC grows back home, and am waiting for my growing gear to arrive along with my furniture etc. in the next month or so. The main things I'm waiting for are my LEDs, a Helios 6 and 2 Helios 2's. They are the mutts nuts. I have my pH pen and EC stick, so just need a few things to get cracking. 1. Seeds. I am waiting now, it's been 12 days so far..... mainly Dutch Passion autos to get a quick fe…

My NL is only 16 days old, Ive read that you can clone very early into the process but the only node points i could use on the lower part of the plants are very small, i didn't want to cut a massive part of the top to clone, Its like 2" Long as shown in the photo. Normal clone method used, New razor blade, slice cutting off, cut on 45 angle, scrape some of the stem and split in middle, put into clonex for 30 seconds or so and then into a little foam cube straight into the propagator tray, under a 55w cfl setup in my clone tent with some other cuttings. Is it to small to kick off? This is the actual plant - This is the small cutting i took -

Hi all, I'm trying out Canna Boost but I'm not sure how often it should be applied. I'm using Coco medium and Canna Boost A & B for nutes in PH'd water. When they go into full flower I find I need to water them every day which I do with the A & B. Being cautious, I've decided to use Boost just once a week, but I have no idea how often it should be added, does anyone have any advise on this? Thanks

Hey folks! I've been debating with myself over whether side by side lighting or straight aligned would give me more cover. Unfortunately, this was an afterthought Excuse the garden, it's a hodge-podge grow. Also considering taking off the lighting reflectors, pictured right under the bulb here: It does as it says it does, redirects light to the side parts, from directly under; but I'm not sure of it's effectiveness. Does anyone have experience with these? Peace!

Hi guys, I just wanted to get a bit of a discussion going with people using growool as their medium. I am interested in what people are setting there Ph at and the feeding regime. I have always been of the opinion that wool works best with the Ph a little lower, around the 5.5 to 5.8 range. I am interested to see what others do in wool?

Hi everyone, I'm about to start a compact indoor grow under a couple of 80W CFL's, height of my space is 1.2m, plants will be transferred outdoors into the ground after 8 weeks. How much growth can I expect in 8 weeks in a perfect scenario and what size pot's should I be using? I'd prefer to not have to re-pot during the 8 weeks. Greentoe

Hi everyone, I'm new to the grow scene and I'm wondering who is the best hydro store in Brisbane. I was thinking it may be Nerang Hydro but I'm not sure. Will be setting up my grow in the next couple of months (probably about 4 plants) personal use, and I want to start off with the right equipment, advice etc. All recommendations will be appreciated. Kind Regards Dal

I've been chasing a vegan organic fertilizer for an outdoor grow and found these guys sell some quality product. But which one to use? http://www.ecogrowth.com.au/Product.html I was thinking the NPK Eco-Prime Blue with a bit extra Soft Rock Phosphate to boost the P ratio. Thoughts? Is there a better mix?

Hello fellow aussies. I'm sorry to have to burden some of you with this, but iv been looking online for a simple explanation regarding nutrients and PH level testing, but all i seem to find is information on how to raise the PH or lower it, and the preferred PH levels, but no information in regards to what I'm testing........ I wasn't kidding when i said extreme newby, and i feel like a real dumbass having to ask, but all well...we all gotta start somewhere don't we? I'm familiar with smoking weed, just not growing it . So I'm just going to ask some questions in hopes someone could give me some starting info.... So regarding nutrients, I'm guessing this is the e…

Okay so brief history on the grow so far. I am on day 38 since the I flipped to 12/12. Set up: I am growing using 70/30 coco/perlite in Autopots. 2 x DR240w tents with 2 x 600w HPS in vertical parabolic reflectors. Both tents have their own reservoir but they are on the same schedule. Food: I've been using Canna nutes at the regular feed amount per their schedule, along with Rhizotonic & Cannazym. I also use Canna PK 13/14 However Canna recommend only to use this for one week. In all of my previous grows I use usually 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after their suggested time starting at 1/3 strength then 2/3 with full does in the middle. I've never had any issues …
