Hi there, I read that seedlings should be protected from direct light untill they are about 2 weeks old? what is the purpose of this?, isn't more light always better?

So I am about to start my first grow, seedlings ready to germinate... What should I buy in Bunnings, besides soil? I have no clue what I am doing, so please help me out. I heard something about bone meal being good to add to soil? also someone on the forums recommended that I actually do not start with soil, as it is harder to manage compared to Coco, what are peoples experiences here?

Add a florescent compont to this bleach thing; assuming the bleach doesnt denature it. I saw a design that focus out side lightwith a series of lenses, like a supped up sky light, add that Tech to this kind of bulb... you might want to replace that plastic bottle with boroslicate glass... add some bradford batts to that roof, maybe experiemnt with optical fibers to the coke bottle if the celing is tall http://dornob.com/solar-bottle-lamps-water-bleach-10000-liters-of-light/

Been a long while since I've been on the boards, had a little hiccup with the last grow and had to shut it down early. Did a Jack 33 in coco since then and everything went fine. I'm pretty much over my LED experiment now (maybe once more). Been thinking about trying out organic growing so as not to worry about ppm/ph and bottles of shit. I've been using this mix for my tomato's and they're fucking huge. Wondering if some of you organic type growers could critic my mix and let me know if this will work for cannabis? 20L Organic Potting soil - Searles Garden Soil Mix 20L Organic Compost - Searles Real Compost Mix 10L 50/50 Perlite/Vermiculite 5L Cow Manure If…

G'day guys, So recently the lower leaves of my plant have started turning yellow, and has made its way up the plant, i have read up on it and said that it was lack of nitrogen? i added a little bit of miracre grow which has a good dose in it (i know this burns plants easy so i only used a few pinches) and it hasnt helped, i changed the soil from just normal potting mix to 1/3 organic potting mix 1/3 cow manure 1/3 mushroom compost and it has got worse, im unsure what to do as theres so many mixed opions online, so i joined the ausise comunity for local advice, does the leaves turn from ph being too high or low? All help appreciated, it has started to flower also …

Hi Guys and Girls, Just thought I put this up as it might help a few people if they're wondering where their seed orders are. Ok a little background. so I've had a few seed orders from different companies go missing once the get to Australia. I haven't received any notices and have used a couple different addys/names etc. with both companies having very good feedback. I placed an order early last month, tracked it and in a couple of days it arrived in Australia but then it seemed to stop with the status stuck on "Accepted by facility". So I waited a couple of weeks but still nothing..... I contacted the seed bank and within 24hrs (after a couple of emails), they …

Hello, I'm a bit concerned that most of my plants are male.... This happened last year, but just before they started to flower most of the plants that seemed male showed female hairs! I'm in the same situation this year, it's Jan' so pretty late in the season. I hope they're not mostly male! Does anyone have this kind of experience with plants showing female hairs at a very late stage? Cheers :-)

Hi all, Has anybody had experience in using a KNO3 solution to induce flowering? I've read it can be used to induce fruit in mango trees as well as other fruiting/flowering plants. An initial spray, leave for 4-5 weeks then another spray is what they recommend. Any thoughts on this?

So i was doing a bit of research tonight on different rooting formulas and decided to work out what rooting formulas work out the cheapest per litre of end solution that you make. When picking products bottle size i will pick a product that will make as close to 1000L of solution as i can, this will keep the comparisons as close together as possible. The products we will be comparing and recommended dosages are as follows Canna - Rhizotonic - 1ml per litre H&G - Rooting Excelurator - 0.33 ml per litre CX hydroponics- Regen-a-root - 1ml per litre Seasol - 3ml to 5ml per litre - this figure is based off what users of this forum are using - i will be using the mini…

Just a bit of nutrients news i thought i would share. Advanced Nutrients now has an Australian distributor and will soon be on the shelves of a lot of hydro shops. They have quite a few interesting sounding products like Bud candy, Bud factor x, Kushie Kush, Big Bud, Overdrive, just to name a few. They are all designed for specifically growing cannabis, so id love to give them a try. Hopefully they won't be too expensive.
