Interesting fact folks, There are two areas of Australia where large numbers of marijuana plants once grew wild. The Hunter Valley in NSW and the Sunshine Coast hinterland of Queensland. According to the book marijuana australiana by JL Jiggens there were cannabis eradication efforts in both these two areas.Two areas where THC containing cannabis plants, grew naturally in wild and large proportions. I hope that the people who were eradicating the marijuana in these areas or harvesting the marijuana in these areas were wearing gloves. Because the two locations are also home to the deadly funnel web spider, which is known to contain venom strong enough to kill a human b…

Hi there cannabis community. I have a quick question. I have had a cursory search on the subject but am a little short of time with the small one, as I am a home dad. I used to spray Rhizotonic from Canna and it workd pretty good but I don't use the product anymore and am unsure if they are going to get enough nitrogen. I am currently spraying them with Nutrifield Fulife when they lookin dry. The medium is searles propogating mix cut with a bit of coco and moistened through with Proganics root care. I might be being a little impatient but I though I might as well throw it out there to see what fellow cultivators are employing. Any comments or suggestions are encou…

Hi Everyone, Inexperienced grower seeking advice re pruning a Female Seeds Fast Neville X Line plant. She was put in the ground October/November [from memory] but the planting hole is lined with plastic and the actual root space would be probably only 60 L. This is on top of a reservoir which holds approx 10L of water. The growing medium was Searles premium potting mix, Searles 5 in 1, mushroom compost and coco. And I've been fertilising every 1 - 2 weeks with Uncle chron's super sauce. My concern is with the yellowing leaves it is displaying now that it will run out of juice in flower. Of almost equal concern is the amount of water she's using - I'm having to…

OK so one of my plants (7 foot) has some strange appearances on some of the older leaves in the middle of the plant, and some new growths. It started as white blotches but now small black dots are appearing. Some leaves going pale. Its in the center of the plant mainly, (leaves that are shaded) but could be creeping up. Also the affected branches may be a tad smaller as in growing slower. not sure. i dont thinks its nutrient as im giving enough but not too much... Disease or pest? fungus? Check out the pics any help would be appreciated. Cheers

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…

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…
