Hey folks. Been having heat and grasshopper issues here so I built some little shadehouse's using shadecloth, some random wire I had lying around and nylon. The idea of the smaller shade hats is to be able to plant really young seedlings straight into the ground and just keep the heat off them a bit while they get established. Its also protects from any plant eating pests that like to knock them off. Tools I used Wire (from anywhere) Shadecloth 15% (the lightest gauge available) Long lasting string (hutchie chord) Multitool covered most things Needle i made from the wire . Used sandpaper and a file to refine it. The HD wire needed HD pliers and a hacksaw to c…

Hi all Thought I would pick up some of the Proganics Root Care from Bunnings. I use House & Garden Rroots Excelurator with great results, it is expensive but worth every $ IMO. But it is expensive @$130 for 250ml, this cost me $20 for 1L which will do 1000L of water. So it is quite concentrated. If it is half as good as Roots Exl I would be happy. In a few weeks I will try a quick side by side grow using clones. Just veg them a few weeks and pull apart the root mass (so yes addicts there will be root porn) Proganics do have a full range of Hydroponic nutrients that you can get from Bunnings, I might give it a side by side later on if I get some room, see how it …

Hi all Just seeking some advice/opinions on temporary potting of clones. I have had a bit of a search but cant seem to find any info to answer my questions my current method is to cut clones just before flower cycle which means they sit around for 8 weeks prior to being put in pots. After a couple of weeks, they have all they roots coming out of the bottom of the rockwool blocks, which means the roots are all exposed for a while. Although I have never had any problems with this I am wondering if there is room for improvement. would there be any benefit in putting the clones into small pots after roots start to show (does this exposure damage roots?), then repotting …

Ok so I am at the point in my grow journal where I need to start feeding my little ones . I have purchased this nute not long ago but it got me thinking how should I dose and how to apply (I dont want to over/underdo it this far in) Refer to the photos for details. It is 'Dr Grow It Alls organic liquid fert' I hope I chose well cause I paid a little bit for it. You can see the breakdown of elements in the mixture and also the dosage required. My first question...Spray the Foliage or water into the roots? How often? The dose? Never done this before so any help is greatly appreciated

Hey I started this big bang plant in a PC grow box about 8 weeks ago but I had to go away interstate for 6 weeks. My friend was looking after it but it got too big and started touching the lights (he also didn't change the light cycle to flower). I've clipped the burnt/yellow leaves and was wondering peoples suggestions on trying to use a SCROG or LST at this stage. There's so much foliage it looks like it would be hard to tie without damaging it. Was thinking of using the red netting that you buy bags of oranges in as a SCROG.. What you guys think?

I found this to be an excellent read... So pack a pipe...pour a drink & spend a while reading http://blueboy67.wordpress.com/ Purple Cannabis by Nebu The origins of purple cannabis are as much of a mystery as the origins of the plant itself. However, purpling is as natural as the changing colors on the leaves of deciduous trees in autumn, which is attributed in part to the pigment anthocyanin. Anthocyanin expression is controlled by both genetic and environmental factors. Purpling is a simple dominant Mendelian trait, with quantitative expression. Environmental Factors: Several pigments are responsible for color in plants: chlorophyll, carotene, xanthophyll, an…
