Just a quick question (for now), am I crazy to be looking at picking up some $30+ seeds (each)? Marketing hyperbole etc aside, I've come across what sound to be really good seeds, just what I'm after and all that, but are they really going to be worth the extra coin over say seeds that are around the $10 mark? Somehow I can't post the link, but they are Sensi Seeds Northern lights #5 x Haze from Bonza, price is around $34. First question has been asked, but I also guess price per seed is only part of the equation, when you take into account soil, nutrients etc needed over the course of the lifecycle of the plant that extra $20 is minute, and if this strain yields only 3…

I have germinated a seed in a jiffy pellet and it is just starting to straighten up and spread its first leaves. How long can it grow in the pellet without a problem, or should it be planted out now?

Hey guys! Just a quick question. I'm putting my baby's under a 600w hps today and im not 100% of how high the light has to be off the top of my seedlings. I heard the rule of thumb is that if you hold your hand under the light and it doesn't get too hot and burn it's right for your plants. Does that sound about right? Thanks Ganja

Hey guys and girls, long time no see! I'll get to updating my other grows that have been abandoned for a few months but have since finished with varying success. Before starting another diary that will likely end in doom... I started a DWC about 6 weeks ago but have been battling water temps since the start and that has brought all kinds of problems with ranging from clear slime, brown slime, urine smells and stunted growth that it all caused. I have had to trim my roots back to near the bottom of the pot 3 times now to get rid of the mentioned slime. I was doing ok in a small bucket(5L) till about 3 weeks ago when i decided to step it up to a massive(nearly 50L) wh…

I've been running my grow tent for about 4 weeks now, 18-6 light cycle. I get home from work last Friday and my neighbour starts asking me if i've been having trouble tuning into AM radio stations in the last 3-4 weeks... Obviously I put 2 and 2 together pretty quickly and realised it must be something to do with the grow room... After a bit of trouble shooting, and online research (this forum and google) I came to the realisation that my ballast was giving off a shit load of interference that was blocking out all AM radio station signals within the vicinity. I tried a radio approx. 25m from the grow room and was still unable to tune into any stations, just static... Th…

Hey all, been looking at the grow room/tent and was considering a bit of an upgrade to the lighting. Thinking of putting 400w of digital lighting supplemented by leds. Kessil leds are what I am looking at procuring, but as they are an expensive unit, approx. $220 each, not many are willing to stock them. Has/is anyone out there using these leds, and are they up to all the hype I've been hearing about them. Do the spectrums they come in make as much of a difference as they would like us to believe?

Hi All, long time lurker, first time poster. I have a question about availability of different strains in Australia. Currently, my suppliers can only tell me it's weed they're selling me, nothing on whether it's indica or sativa etc. My question is this. Without looking for hookups, as I don't want to fall foul of the forum rules, how/where can I get access to bud that has more information than simply "weed"? For now, growing is not an option for me. So I'm wondering if anyone else has been able to gain access to dealers who know what they're selling? I realise this is really a luxury of those that live in jurisdictions that have legalised already, but I can s…
