I've transfered the plants into coco, best thing I've done. I'm using a fairly cheap soil ph meter to test the soil and it came in at a touch over 6. To get the most accurate reading should I water with ph corrected water and measure the run off? And if its higher then what went in put a slightly lower ph water next?

Okay so i got my first female! However- her wonderful strain is unknown What i can tell you is that she is around 40/60 or 50/50 indica/sativa. She has a redish...purple red, underneath her sexy leaves.... I've never seen a plant with red under her leaves (under the bud leaves) One mate of mine said she could be a Mango-Head (I've never heard of that- he said it's a un-common strain grown in high places) Has anyone come accross this strain? we are not sure if it will consume the whole leaf and be red all over. The EXACT colour of her is similar to this image http://kymk.files.wo...2010/10/bud.jpg (Exept her hairs are white (due to the fac…

I am looking to start growing my own but really don't know where to start. I just moved to Melbourne from Vancouver, BC and realizing that this is my best option for a good and consistant weed. I just don't know where to start. I know i will be starting from scratch with seeds and that's all I know so far. If anyone could help me and point me in the right direction with articles and literature that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

In the next coupla weeks there will be a new grow medium coming to Aus called Growstones. It has better water and air retention than expanded clay and perlite and is claimed to outperform other mediums. Its made from expanded/kiln fired recycled glass. It also has readily available silica to help fight that budrot.....sounds pretty good..think i might get me some and try it out....oh...and apparently its replacing hydroton brand of expanded clay which will no longer be available.

Hi all, stumbled upon this site while doing some research on growing the 'erb. It's a semi auto watering setup made in u.s.a, where the water is fed down a pipe to a reservoir with perlite at the bottom with soil on top. Claims the plants take the water they need and no bugs as the top half of the water is dry and doesn't get wet. Anyone on here heard or used this setup? Havent seen any grow diaries with one on here. Let me know what you guys think. http://www.420gs.com/grow-kits.html

If you pollinated an AutoFem with Femined pollen(non auto) would the seeds off the Autoplant also be Auto or is that a dominant reccesive thing?

Hi everyone. Just wondering does the shape of the growing container make any difference when growing in soil? Say 110L rectangle container verses A 75L round garbage bin. Thanks

Hi all, another question Did a water at 6ph and runoff was 5.1, was wondering why it was so low? And how I can stop it? I've always watered at 5.9-6.1ph. And made sure runoff was correct. Is it because I let the coco dry out too much? My plants look like theyvr got nute lockout as the leaves are light green and yellowing showing all signs of low nutes . Thanks.

Hey all, saw a Turbo Klone today at the local hydro shop, they look sweeet, but thought this could be something that could be fun to build my own version and something a bit different to the old tried and true cuttings in rockwool and jiffys in the prop dome. Like to hear anyones experiences/opinions or whatever to do with aeroponic cloning...thanks..devil..

Hey stoners Don't actualy know if this works or not. Have never tried an experiment with this method. In fact I couldn't even tell you where the info came from. Been rolling around in my computer for a while. Maybe some other enthusiast out there can organise a controlled experiment and let us all know if it works or not. Anyway here it is:- Interestingly it claims 100% on females and no Hermies. Now I have my own SEED SEXING method and although mine will not sepparate Hermies and I will not try to claim 100% My hit rate is always in the high 90's. More on this later as my method is all in my head at this stage. I will have to make that a fu…

Hi So I grew outdoors and now I want to move just 2 plants indoors to finish them off (they didn't flower outside because of street lights) and was just wondering what lights I should use? I have a 4 foot fluorescent light globe from a fish tank and I also have a 4 foot UV light globe but its like the party type, really dark and shows up light colours, black globe sorta thing. So what should I use? Should I go and buy a different sort? If I should buy a different light where can I get it from? Thanks guys.
