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.

Was doing some research on Fulvic acid tonight and stumbled across an interesting bit of information. You can actually make your own Fulvic acid using just white vinegar and peat moss! Grab 500g of peat moss Add it to 1.5L of white vinegar Leave the solution for 2 days Strain out the composted peat moss Use at a dilution rate of 1ml per liter of solution I assume will not be as pure as the fulvic acid you can buy in shops (if its made correctly anyway), however it should will be plenty good for gardening purposes as long as your vinegar contains only CH3CO2H + water ! Have not tried this myself, so you might just want to test on an unimportant plant in the garden be…

Howdy Y'all.. I have a question regarding tents. I am considering buying a tent for the first time, as I inevitably have trouble with light leakage in my room... However, after doing some research I came across a tent that claimed to be the darkest tent available... This caused me to put my finger on my chin and say "hmmmm" , does anyone have trouble with light leaks in their tents? or is this just marketing BS.. Cheers Puka

Hey everyone! I'm a newb here, also a newb in cultivation, this is my first ever grow. Been doing craploads of reading and trying to take it all in, but there are so many opinions that clash and it can all become a little confusing! My seedling was given to me rather sick. I wanted to do an outdoor deck grow (organic) and since transplanting it, it's been doing great.. until now. I've been feeding is a bit of Seasol, and also Fish Emulsion, but I think there's a nute deficiency (mainly Nitrogen), so I've been hunting around and Guano seems highly recommended. I'm gonna try out the Nature's Own Guano Super Grow and it states the average NPK is 10-10-2 (The Super Bloom is…
