I started germination on the 24-5-12 and i only just took these photo's One of the two oval leaves is starting to die i heard that was normal but I'm not sure to be honest For nutrients at the moment I'm only using Rose Focus (Growth Technology) and some seaweed nutrients stuff can't remember the name if i need something better or more suitable please let me know. ill buy buying a proper light set up when it gets a bit bigger but for the moment im using a Dawson 15W Warm white as well as the sun when it seems fitting but the light produces virtually no heat so i can ke…

Hi ya, was speaking to my local shop owner today. Getting a new MH bulb for my upcoming veg. He asked if I had noticed if I had seen the difference in resin after using MH at the end of my flower. Had no idea what he was talking about. Got to chatting and was informed that, in the last 1-2 weeks of flowering. A few prodactic growers change there bulbs back to MH once there girls are on fresh water. As the light spectrum has more blue light which is better for resin production, then gives them 48 - 72 hours of total darkness. Turn all lights off. To really give killer resin at the end. I am really interested in anyone that has tried this or has any tips. As I am almost …

Hi all. I've attached a few photos of my Auto AK47's which are 25 days into flowering. Can the experienced growers let me know what they think or give any tips on how to make them bigger? How long do Auto's Usually flower for/When do I harvest? I've been thinking of removing the tiny popcorn buds on the bottom of the plant but I also do not want to stress the plant. Hmmm.. -Tonefish

I'm thinking of doing a regen as a mate wants clones and my mother needs a bit more recovery before I can take any. I've again heard of ppl taking their crop and then regenerating back to grow again. If anybody has any info regarding the processess or can direct me to some info it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks merl1n

So my plants arnt looking the beat two are almost fallen over complelty as the leaf curl is so bad. On another couple they are dry with.a bit of limpness. and 3 are looking pretty good. My setup is 600w mh in a cooltube running at 450watts, its about 25* degress in there, in potting mix soil. Now at first i thought it was coz I may have over watered, so i put the plants in larger pots in dry soil to help dry them out a bit. Then got stung by pests and got rid of all them by heavily watering the plants to kill of any eggs.and bug apraying the drobe. Now I've raised the light by 3" but they haven't changed. Do I need a fan in there to move the air around? Is that w…

I want to set up a hydro system in a 2m x 2m space But I don't know what's required Can someone please tell me what I'll need and how much it should cost? I'm only looking to grow 2 or 3 plants Thanks in advance

This is more of a response to the dickhead that was here earlier this morning, trying to abuse OS. Naturally his drug dealing arse got kicked off here straight away. Thanks moderator team! What people like him don't seem to understand is that growers like me ditched the dealer a long ago and want nothing to do with these parasites ever again. I hated having to go to dealers when I was younger and thanks to prohibition these fuckers thrive making a living at the expense of others. One thing I hate is people like him who try and exploit others for their own gain and or cause them harm. Honestly your ilk are not welcome here so, Thankyou and fuck off

If I can get top quality clones how much max should they cost? Rooted, healthy and proven.

Hi All, Has anyone heard of or used these? Seems like a good alternative. http://www.suretogrow.com I contacted them (very friendly) and they said they already have a distributor lined up for Australia and we'll see the products here soon. Always good seeing new products on the market if they make our lives easier. PS - I have no affiliation with STG, just thought I would let some people know.
