Hey blades, after a ton of research and weighing up pros / cons of coco nutes, I'm still overwhelmed with the sheer amount of info / bullshit info out there and can't decide on a decent nute line that isn't ridiculously expensive. I've looked at standard lines like canna, CNS, etc. but they all seem to be so unnecessarily expensive (especially due to where I live). I've looked at cheaper powder nutes like dyna gro and jacks classic citrus feed but again, being in australia means somewhat limited options and I can't warrant paying more for postage than the product itself (may aswell go with the super expensive canna then). I've found a brand of fertiliser at a local sho…

Hey guys, Im growing again for the first time in ten years, so Im alittle rusty and am doing outdoor instead of hydro so it could be interesting. I always sprouted my seeds in water, but these ones may be too old cos they have just all sunk. I read somewhere to plant them as soon as they do or they will drown Have never tried the wet paper towel method either. Anyone have any suggestions??

Hey all, I was looking for some advise on sexing plants. Mine are currently about 13cm tall and have 4 nodes. When will I be able to determine the sex of the plants? Would pictures be helpful at this stage or will I have to wait until the bloom phase to find out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some clarification on flowering times. If a strain description says flowering time of 9 - 10 weeks is this from when flowering is induced or from when buds become apparent please? I have some SSS Bubblefucks that I thought wouldn't be ready for another 2 weeks or so but most pistils are brown and they are starting to foxtail significantly so I'm wondering whether they could be mature enough to harvest now.

Seen this awesome gadget thought is let you guys in on it. Although a little gimiky pretty cool for a hobby grower "The unit houses four separate sensors that monitor light intensity, ambient temperature, soil moisture and fertilizer levels, with real-time alerts sent to your iPhone whenever a plant needs your assistance. For example, if your plant is becoming parched the app will send you a warning so you don’t forget to water it. Likewise, if it senses that temperatures are too high for a specific species of plant, the Flower Power will let you know before it even begins to wilt." Has 2000 species university in Netherlands worked on the list maybe canna is in the…

Hi stoners, I got a plant from a friend and it is on my balcony for about 2 months, in a pot with soil, no lights, just sun. It has grown to about 50cm and it looks very healthy. Also, I have been reading about growing and I understand this is far from ideal. Also, I have no expectations with a simple setup like this. However, it would be nice to be able at least one joint homegrown. Is there any chance it will put some buds off? Cheers,

A friend gave me this little plant from bag seed he had outdoors and it had started flowering really small. I threw it in the cabinet with my autos on constant 20/4 and she started re-veging. Should I trim off all the bud on the crown and just leave the new growth there? Would love to hear your opinions Cheers

Hi all, Doing my fist grow, I attempted a FIM some time ago but didn't work so now my week 2 flowering plant had a main cola and I was wondering if I've left it too late to attempt a LST of the main cola? The main cola is quite sturdy and I don't think could be bent too far over, do you think it's worth attempting a LST or should I play it same and leave the main cola as is? Thanks

Hey, I can't find anything online that resembles this yellowing, does this look like some kind of deficiency? It looks similar to something I've seen on common house plants before..

Hi folks, Just after some advice, I have a p/chunk and 2x 8 ball kush (both fem seeds)on the go in a tent. Plan was to attempt to veg one of each strain big enough to take some cuttings but small enough to be managed in flower and finished ASAP. To my surprise the 8 ball seed had twins inside, and one of them is very tall and lanky and has pre flowers with hairs while the other is short, bushy and beautiful but only has the beginnings of pre flowers. The p/ chunk is growing at a similar rate to the short 8 ball but no pre flowers. All three have developed alternating nodes and have been tipped once. Now, will the clones grow exactly like their mums?(if so, I won't clone t…
