Hi All, I started a topic about companion planting a few years ago but cant seem to find it now.... Anyway I have done a little more reading and it seems that planting Basil and Parsley with your grow can help increase natural oil production. Anyone else have other companion plants they know of or use?

Hi all, I’ve been pondering pot sizes for some time now and wanted to start a thread to get everyone’s different experiences. Currently in a 1.2x1.2x2 grow lab Medium : Canna Coco 40% perlite Nuts: Canna coco A&B Lamp: 600 w HPS X 2 in cool tubes pot sizes : 4 X 28L Instead of 4 x 28L pots, what about 2 X 50L pots? Would 2 X 28L pots be sufficient for 2 plants in a 1.2x1.2x2?

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.

Howdy folks, i have 3 plants in my tent under 400hps, they went in the tent around mid april and changed to 12/12 on 16th may. been feeding basic ferts plus pk13 - 14 over the last week and also i have started them on Canna Boost over the last week. What i am hoping some of you experienced people might be able to is have a bit of a guess as to when they might be ready to go? this is my first time indoors and i must say it is very different to outdoors where i am usually pulling them a bit early due to mold issues. The missus and i are hanging for a good smoke, we have some good bush thanks to a good buddy thats nice enough to drop an elbow on us once a year but these are …

I was just wondering if anyone else has used the GH flora series in a DWC or RDWC setup. I know alot use H & G and Canna, but need input from users of GH nutes. I've heard before that you need cal mag with the 3 part flora nutes, but the micro contains cal and mag, WTF? Plants seem to be thriving on them anyway. Do I need to add anything else to these nutes? If so what products and when? Note: Also using DM gold zone.

G'day everyone, The seeds have cracked and they will be going outdoor. They are only bag seed and I really don't if they make it or not. They will be put into paper pots and its pretty cold so I was wondering if putting a ziplock bag over the top and tape it there would help with the cold at all? Put some holes in it as well obviously.

Hey people, I'm new. My friend says that you can let buds on a plant just simply keep growing until they're the size of a basketball. I highly doubt that. I'm not growing weed or anything, but just out of curiosity, how big can each individual bud on a plant get before they have to get harvested / do not grow any larger? Thanks in advance.

Howdy Folks, I have a couple of plants under lights in a tent growing in potting mix and am getting to the stage when pk 13-14 should be applied, it's a bit of a guess as the strain is unknown so when to pick the right time (week 5 or 6) will be a guesstamite .. What i am hoping one of you can help me with is.. on the instructions that come with the bottle it only gives instructions for hydroponic medium and it states 1 - 2 ml to your nutrient tank untill the desired EC is reached..now that is a bit confusing to me growing in potting mix but it does state on the bottle that it is suitable for use on ALL media so i am assuming that it will be ok in my situation. Should i w…

Howdy folks, Is anyone able to tell from looking at a plant what type it is? they are about 5 weeks old under 400 watt HPS and looking very nice for a first time indoor grow but i would love to know what they are.. there seems to be two varietys as some are smaller and bushier and the others are taller and a bit skinnier, tho that could be a sex thing? lights have just been flipped to 12 hours but too early to show sex as yet.. I can post some pics if anyone is interested? Cheers Z
