G'Day Guys! Ive recently started my first grow... I started smoking as I suffer Crohnes and it has helped more then any prescribed pill ever has Figured its time I try my hand at saving some cash and growing my own.. I have done some reading in the past and tried in the past, but was called oversea's for work and left it with month old plants.. I cant remember the lights in using exactly, but im certain they are EzyGrow Lights... Germinated the seeds over 2 days (didnt pop the first), and they are now about 4 days in...

Hi guys and gals. Newbie to site. Looks great from what I've seen so far. So good to see an Ozzie site. Just getting back into growing for medicinal. I have chronic back and neck problems from roof tiling for more than 30 years. Old boy also has Parkinson's. Haven't grown for over 25 years. I see a lot has changed since then. Just going for a tent setup using coco. Hope it goes well, and I'm sure this site will be a great benefit. Got some cuttings in as I speak. Just got them from an outdoor, but a little late. Hoping the 24 hour cycle will do the job. One quick question. I purchased some seed from Attitude Seed Bank. Hope I made the right choice. Be…

Heya all need some help figuring out this NPK(s) stuff. I know it means Nitrogen, Phosphate, Potassium & Sulfur, but where does each chemical come into play for the plants? is there a good guide on this somewhere? I am currently growing in Canna Terra Pro & using the Canna Bio range - Vega and Flores, they state on the bottles. Vega (3.5 - 1 - 5.5) Flores (3 - 1 - 5 - 1) How are these any different from each other? Don't you need more of one than the other for flowering, and where does the extra - 1 sulfur come into play? I have the PK 13/14 at (0 - 6 - 11 - 0) - when is the best time to use this? guy at the store said you can start running it 1 week…

Afternoon all, I think I have read the entire forum on nutes, and cant see what I am looking for, so here goes. I have 3 plants (bag seed, growing in 10 lt buckets of good organic potting mix from bunnings, growing outdoors in the back yard, no lights just nature) As the days get shorter, I looking to possibly switch fertilizer to some thing with more P in it, as I have read the flowers use more. I'm currently using Miracle Grow Max feed (22-6-11) and it has treated them well, reasonable size etc for a low tech kind of set up. Can anyone recommend a brand or type of fert that they have used in soil that will hopefully offer up the right mix for good buds? I hav…

Ok so last year I grew a great mazar outdoor. (check out the previous grow! ) and we managed to find a seed throughout the plant! one very single one in the main cola. I've heard of plants doing this and they are always female and quite a few of you on the forum have seen this before even if there is no other male plant around. So I decided to grow it out this year.... She is very fast and very vigorous growing, More "sativa" like however her mother was short , squat, tight nodes full of big buds! I know she is off her for sure because of her structural branching, She is doing the typical "Christmas tree" which is typical from mazar, But however she's got some very ski…

I have been using the Nutrifield range of nutrients along with the Nutrifield Coco bags for the past year and have been mighty impressed with the results and the general health of the plants from start to finish. Who else out there has had experience with products from Nutrifield? I would like to hear other peoples experiences with these products and how they have worked for them or any problems they may have encountered.

Ok so ive been doing a bit more research into the DWC method and it seems like a really good way to grow. Theres a few things im still not sure about so im hoping some gurus can shed some light. What size pot do you go for ? Ive seen some video tutorials about this and some say 3" pot and some say 6" pot, that seems a little bit small ? ( im talking about the pot that sits on the lid not the pot that holds the water / solution ) Do you still have to have some kind of soil or mix in the pot to give the plant some structure? like in the photo below can you go for say 80% of clay pebbles or hydrocorn / hydroton and then soil on top of it ? or would you just go 100% clay …

This is my first plant. I'm pretty sure its a male but just want to hear it from one of you more experienced growers. Also I tipped the leaves at a young age. Is that a big no no or does it stimulate more top growth like i'm thinking? Also sorry for the picture. Definitely not the best.

I found these about 6 months ago and forgot to ask if they were male plants? The Structure looks very similar. There were about 6 of these plants about 50-90cm long scattered over about 20 metres. Was right near a water source too. What do you all think?
