Hey everyone, so i've got some Searles 5 IN 1® Plus - Organic Plant Food and was planning on mixing it 3:1 (soil/5in1) with the existing soil i've dug up and had the chickens playing in for a month or so. Am planning on using this mix in two ways, in pots and in holes. Obviously i'm using this for my babies (all outdoor), just wondering if anyone here has used it before or has any tips or advice?

Hi all, Finally got all my gear, and got my painted drobe inside, after taking out a window to get it in haha. Now my plants have sat under a cfl, and window light for almost 2 weeks. Should I put them in my drobe unser my mh at 150w or 300w. The leaf on top has gotten a lot larger, so I'm thinking its about time. I have a 600w mh globe in the drobe with a dimable ballast, 25%,50%,75%

Hey guys I've been looking around for good places to buy some cannabis seeds and they all seem a bit dodgy, I was hoping to get some good reliable websites from people who have previously bought from seed banks and seed selling sites alike, the more variety the better thanks in advance.

I'm going to need a temperature and Humidity gauge for my growroom and I'm not sure where to get an accurate fair priced gauge not sure if this counts as a gauge but im really only worried about it's accuracy (http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_product_white-lcd-vision-mini-weather-forecaster_4920.aspx) Any recommendations would be appreciated

Anyone using Mycorrhizal root conditioners & Microbial nutrient additives in systems highly aerated such as bubbleponics/deepflow.... just wondering about the absence of hydrogen peroxide etc & adding organic based enzymes into these systems causes any problems or cuts short the tank life of the zymes etc..... I realise these systems are hard to perfect with organic nutes(but these are not nutes) finding it hard to get unbias info from anyone other than suppliers etc..... Of course I will find out for myself but a heads up warning approach to problems is always good.......

Hey all, Just got back from.a little holiday, to find myseedlings are starting to boom up and stretch. My gear still hasnt arrived, paid for it 3 weeks ago. Rang them and they said a ballast was out of stock and they were waiting for it blah blah blah. Now I wanted to veg under a mh in my cupboard, but seeing as it hasnt arrived will they go okay under window light with a CFL light boost when its dark outside? It's only a little lamp, i didnt plan to use it for longer then 3 days till they popped out the soil. There are 3" high now.

Mornin all, I am very interested in being able to produce feminized seeds using Colloidal Silver, it seems to be a fairly basic process and there seems to be enough info around the www to show that it works pretty well.. Does anyone here have any personal experiance with this method that can give me any tips? I have ordered some .9999% silver and other than that the only other bits needed are a 9 volt battery and distilled water, spray the mix onto a known female plant and wait for the pollen sacks to appear then pollinate the female and wait for some seeds to appear.. Any hints? seems to easy.. Cheers Z
