I went to my local hydroponic shop in January and old mate told me he was out of House & Garden coco due to them having quality control issues where it was being made. So they took it off the sri lankins or who ever make it and now make it in Holland. So now it comes in and different shapped bag and different image on the front. I had noticed in my last bag and another a few months back there was a sea shell amongst the coco, so I am not supprised there has been quality control issues. I will still continue to use H&G coco as I found it to be a bit better than the Canna. The Canna seems more ground up or finer than the H&G.

First up a big thanks to Vostok for his post about earth boxes that originally got me thinking about this. https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/topic/58725-hot-hot-hot-try-an-earth-box-then/ Mine aint that fancy, mainly due to remote on foot only location and difficult digging conditions. Here's how I did it: Dug a hole about 90-100cm square (shape shouldn't matter), and about 40-50 cm deep. Then dug a smaller hole in the middle about 25cm square, and deep enough to take most of a 2l coke bottle (the soil was like diggin through iron at this point). Lined bottom hole with plastic, place holey coke bottle with pvc pipe attached to top in hole, fill …

Making up your nutrient solution is a regular job for hydroponic growers – and most of us probably think we know what we’re doing – right? Just like how most of us are familiar with the phrase, “falling at the last hurdle”! Because unless you know exactly how to deploy your hydroponic nutrients, that’s exactly what you could be doing. Shortcuts are all too tempting to fall into when you’ve been growing for a while. And if you’re not making up your nutrient solution properly you could well be impeding the performance of your nutrients. This is particularly important for growers using multi-part nutrients (e.g. two-parts and three-parts) as these can be more complex than ma…

Hello all, With my next grow I am using soil and moving away from hydroponics because I don't have the time to monitor the plants as much and I would like to water every other day or more by hand instead. So I have my soil mix sorted. I am using a good quality organic potting mix called Debco Organic which has no wetting agents or slow release ferts and I'll be mixing that with Perlite, Vermiculite and some Dolomite Lime. My question is: I have quit a bit of left over Canna Classic Vega A&B and Flores A&B nutes from my hydro grows and I was wondering if I could use those in the soil grow? It would save me some cash if I could use what I already have. TIA

This might be one for the more advanced gardeners out there but I was thinking about companion planting and whether weed grows well amongst South Western Australian natives like in a Jarrah/Marri forrest area. Im guerrilla planting in Margaret River you see and i know this area is like the Nimbin of WA so there's got to be a few locals on this forum that have some advice on this. Any thoughts?

Looking through various cannabis strains I was confused and fascinated by the large variety of genotypes available. So naturally i am wondering how to chose... Are the Cannabis Cup winners a cut above the rest? or should I go by price to determine quality? Are the strains quite true to their description, or only half true? (exotic scents and flavours, and type of high) Your thoughts and experience please.

Hey all, AndyDank here. I'm new to the forums but have been a cannabis enthusiast for a little over 3 years I've decided it's time to kick the unreliable dealers to the curb and get a jump on my own grow op. I'm currently residing in a sharehouse with a few "opened minded" roomies so stealth isn't an issue. Since I'm new to cultivating our beloved Mary Jane, I only want to start small with 2-4 plants growing at a time and would like to keep the op on a budget. Over the last couple of days I've done a fair amount of research into the different indoor grow styles there are and have been tossing around a few ideas. eBay has cheapish grow tents kits that come with t…

Who uses medi-one on their plants?, because I have just spent the last coupla hours looking for some positive feedback from people other than testers employed by the company. Why, because I'm about to suss it out, but not on all the plants. I'm going to grow three plants, same strain, same medium, different nutes. First feeding program will be medi one, as per recommended feeding plan on the label, however, I am already unsure, the npk being the main concern, the second coming from when I opened the bottle for the first time, talk about ripe! The second program, I'm going to have another crack with seasol and power feed, this time with the addition of guano during flower…
