MycoGold I am currently trialing this on my grow, never tried any of these types of products before. From what I have read about these types of products it can only be of a benefit. It is compatible with most plant types and hemp is on the list. I know there are other products out there like great white, piranha, ect. Key Benefits • Decades of research into beneficial mycorrhizal use in agriculture crops. • Contains endomycorrhiza and ectomycorrhiza for board spectrum crop species support. 95% of all crops/plants are compatible (list at end). • Contains trichoderma which has a wide range of benefits. • Fine 250 micrometer powder for rapid uptake. • Use le…

Hello all, I am extremely frustrated at the moment as I'm finding it so hard to just get a straight answer that matches up with what type of soil I am trying to grow with. I am trying to start a small personal grow and I am not from the area so conversions, soil mixes, and availability of products, is finding to be EXTREMELY frustrating. I went to Bunnings, and got tossed back and forth by people who didn't understand that I just wanted soil without any time release nutrients etc. After an hour there, and no luck finding a single product, I kind of just gave in and went with what the gardening "specialist" said was good. 1x Scott's Osmocote Garden Mix Plus - 2…

Does anyone have experience using Miracle Gro ORGANIC potting soil with a half half mix with Perliite for an Autoflower grow? Is it worth trying this recipe for autoflowers? All I would feed (sparingy) is Seasol for the first 4 weeks (every other week) then Powerfeed flowering nutes for the rest of the flowering period and flushing the last 2 weeks with plain water and blackstrap molassas. Thoughts on this plan? Has anyone every used Miracle Gro Organic potting soil before? It's the only decent potting soil mix they had at Bunnings.

G day judge here So im getting ready for my next grow and have decided to give rdwc a whirl. I have my air pump already and brought some 51L tubs with lids yesterday. I am ready to start with the plumbing. So my main question is with the return pipes that are set at the bottem of the tubs that return the water to the reservoir. How large do the pipes need to be? I have 10meters of flexible 13mm black pipe but will that be to small, i am worried that it won't carry the water fast enough. Which comes to my second question, What size water pump and hose size should the recirculating pipe be? i was thinking something small but needs to be reliable. If i was pu…

What do or have you used? I'm referring to stuff like Scotts Miracle-Gro, Amgrow Nitrosol, Seasol Powerfeed, Yates Uplift, etc.

Well, since it appears my closet isn't going to work as a potential grow setup (see my other thread), I guess i'll bite the bullet and invest in a grow tent and all the gear. Doing all my research though online, all the places that seem to sell good 'beginner kits' that include everything you need to get started (such as tent/lights/fans/timers/ballasts etc) are from america, and therefore not what i'm after. So, can anyone point me in the right direction for where to buy a beginner's grow setup for a fellow Aussie? Not after a big grow tent either if that matters. Just enough for one nice sized plant. Many thanks!

hey guys i have 4 lovely female plants about to start flowering and 5 males i am looking to get seeds but it is not a must. My questions are, how much bud mass will i lose if i keep the males? are the seeds easy to separate from the buds (your favourite ways would be great ) can i take pollen from the males and dust some lower buds to get seeds? are the males essentially useless? any help would be great. peace and thank you!

So after finding this place I thought I would give growing a go... the quality looks great on most of the pics and im jealous as hell So here is my dilemma. I use about a G a day...so I know what I need to harvest. I have read up a little about cfl and HIDs... I will be in an aparatment (my own) so a cupboard is no problem... I was thinking about setting up a 2 plant system with some cfls and to learn the ropes a bit.. after I feel comortable then perhaps one grow a year kind of thing with a more powerful set up My biggest concern is having things go wrong while Im not at home.. mainly a fire...with an HID set up I would prefer to run something that…

Hi everyone, I've read conflicting info about sexual maturity and effect on potency and am just wondering what other peoples' experiences have been. I have a number of plants that were sown early to mid-November and are just coming into flower but still have opposing nodes and I'm wondering about the consequences for potency of the final product. Also, the plants were far too long in 1L rocketpots while I was waiting to sex them, could this be the reason that they have taken so long to reach maturity? They were finally put in the ground between Xmas and New Year but by then were 3 times the size of the rocketpots and well and truly ready for transplanting. This…

So, im kind of in between grows, ie, dont have a place to set up, but am still fossicking around the web for tips and ideas. Now, have always been fascinated by the diverse range of colors well grown cannabis can produce, given the right conditions, but a recent titbit in a high times newsletter has prompted me to share with the community. This applies to hydro only, hence why its in this subby, and I intend on using this method asap. When flushing at the end of the grow, if you really want the colors to come out, chill your water. Its that easy, and an added benefit, the shock can cause increases in resin production. Just curious if anyone else here has tried this method…

http://maximumyield.com/article_sh_db.php?...1&submit=Go Biodynamics: A Spiritual Approach to Agriculture by Evan Folds 2009-02-01 There is a rich lore on moon rhythms and the life of plants, a lore indicating when the farmer or gardener should sow or manure the land. These traditional rules have endured to modern times with some distortion, and to this day remain, for many, a matter of unreflected belief. Biodynamic researchers are not satisfied to either wholly accept or hastily reject folklore, nor are they helped by superstition or sensationalism. Rather, they insist upon careful and verifiable investigation. The majority of people when asked about the connect…

Hiya, Reccomended places to buy seeds from. Tried Bonza x2 and Demon seeds last year with no luck, shipping to QLD. Im probably gonna get a couple Pineapple Chunk, AK47 and another 1 or two feminized strains to grow into winter. Im above brissy, so it doesnt get very cold during winter, rain and major heat are the main problems

This is my first outdoor grow and my best plant got over fertilized. Slight nutrient burn on tips and edges. (not very bad) But it has gone a dark shade of green when it was a lighter green less than a week ago a few days after i put on the fertilizer. I heard too much nitrogen can cause this.. Anyway will it recover?? Because it the middle of summer and not far off flowering stage. WILL THE DARKER LEAVES WORK AS EFFECTIVELY IF THEY STAY DARK GREEN??? OR PRODUCE LESS BUD? \they are in the ground btw and i have been flushing soil... burn isnt getting worse. growth may be slowed not really sure.. HOW much will this effect yeild..

Hi Ozstoners! First time poster, Long timer stoner, I have just made my first DWC Bucket set up with a 54Litre Black Box, 3.75 Net Pots, A Fish tank dual pump and two 6 inch air stones. All went pretty well but I am having trouble with using/chossing the nutes I bought. I could have even just bought wrong stuff altogther, but I'd really appreciated it if anyone could tell me if I can get away with the products I bought or if there is a way I can purchase something that would be suitable for the noob in me. So what I bought, having pretty much a guess at it, was, Dutch Master Grow Part A + B and Dutch Master Gold Flowering (Single Solution) The plants I am wantin…
