I wanted to set up an indicator of sorts to let me know when a grow has finished its drying stage. To date all I could find are methods that have to disturb the plant as its drying. I want to keep my hands off the girls for as long as possible in an attempt to keep the sweet sugar right where it belongs. This would be a good sized branch with a cuppla buds on it from the lower branches. I've attached a peg to the end of the stalk as the big heavy wet buds dry they become lighter than the pegs and they pop up into the air. Here they are after one night drying. The other cuttings, in a ventelated dark area, remain undisturbed until this one is finished drying. The last tim…

Hi Guys So..I made the mistake listed in the newbies mistakes growing guide....i took my first seeds from a seeded plant that I think may have been a hermie... Anyway 5 weeks on , planted about 10 seeds , a few died , left with about 4 plants. My very first grow so I wanted to play around with these plants before I planted my proper autoflowering feminised ones..... It seems while mature , the plants are stunted. They are very small and don't seem to want to grow PH levels are fine , put in 1.4 strength nutes , getting enough light....could this possibly be a sign of hermaphroditism? The biggest plant is only 3 weeks old! ( in photo of 4 plants , bottom left) bu…

Ok so I built this Mother/Cloning box: at the beginning of last year and I started a Freeze Cheese '89 mother plant in July 2012. Since then I have grown out 4 clones and had two successful grows. But a couple of months ago I noticed the pre-flowers had started growing quite rapidly Some of these are huge: I have taken cuttings and they seem to be doing fine in the DWC Also the cuttings I took two weeks ago are starting to grow healthy roots Has anyone else experienced this? Is it strain specific? And what I really want to know does it have any negative effects in the grows outcome? Because the clones are so sexually mature it may be an adva…

I decided to post this topic as I am growing using seasol as a base and I appear to be doing allright. It will also give me an opportunity to learn from others who have already done this. Firstly, I have chosen to hand water, growing in individual pots, in a mix of perlite, potting mix and seed raising mix with some worm castings worked through it. Equal portions of each medium with about 1 ltr of castings. Now, for seedling/clones, I use 1ml per ltr of seasol, 1ml per ltr of powerfeed, 1/2 ml per ltr roots excellerator. ( Van der Zwann) Early veg, 2ml per ltr powerfeed, 1ml per ltr seasol, 1/2 ml roots excel and 1ml per ltr multi zyme, ( again, Van der Zwann) Peak veg, 2…

Hey guys, There are so many advanced things being discussed here it's making my head spin. I've never grown anything before (not even a flower or tomatoes or shit) and have no plant knowledge.... I just had a walk through flower power and couldn't see any of the stuff being mentioned here... All I really want is 2 or 3 plants, grown indoors with a simple light setup, no fancy hydro Please can I have some basic soil advice? If I can get it at an ordinary plant shop or readily off an australian site that would be great... also what I should use to fertilize my babies and how often etc... like I said I know NOTHING but am very willing to learn... the main problem I'm …

I usually grow 2 plants vegged for 4-5 weeks under 400watt, cut clones then put both plants under a 1000 watt HPS. I have recently decided to get rid of my veg room and grow a dozen smaller plants, veg them for about 10 days, cut the crowns out of them, and use them for clones. Is there anything wrong with this method? Will it have a detrimental affect on the clones having to keep them for 6-7 weeks before they start to veg. Appreciate all thoughts and comments. Aussie

Hi all, I'm planning on growing four different strains at the same time but they won't all be havested at the same time , So I'm wondering if any of them are going to cause odour problems while they dry, does anyone know if the following strains are particularly smelly? Hindu Kush Jack Herer AK47 Skunk Haze Also, (this is my first grow) does the odour reduce once they're havested? Thanks
