General Cultivation Q&A

I've been inspired by DoNothingGarden's thread to make my own potting mix for next year's crop. I have 4 worm cafes (from Bunnings) and 2 X 100litre compost bins so no shortage of worm castings or compost. Over the last few days I have ordered: Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss 5mm Scoria Rice Hulls Malted Barley Grain Regenerate Blend Aloe Powder Kelp Meal Neam Meal Crustacean Meal Rock Phosphate Gypsum Mycogold Beneficial Fungi Biochar Fulvic Acid Powder Have I forgotten anything? When I've made the soil up and let it cook I currently plan to plant a green manure crop until I am ready to start the new crop. I'll buy some of DNG's 95 litre fabric pots when they are…

I'm tying to order more seeds in Aus during the last week. Can't access the SSS site at all, the Aussie Canna site says it's under construction ( only selling hats and toys) and nil response to 3 separate email orders I sent to Dinkum seeds. Yantra is the only site currently working ( and I have an order on the way). What's going on with these other sites??

at last the weather is getting cooler and growing season is under way ... yeehaw! thought other cover crop nerds might like these shots ... have a blueberry shoot just coming up in a 75L pot of a newly mixed soil. the second photo is a bit easier to see her. only one pot this round, so have an extra blumat digital moisture reader handy. decided to measure the moisture level deep in the pot with one reader and for the second one ... around 4-5cm deep from from the mulch and soil touch. see how it goes. once the cover crop gets going ... will cut and drop and put a fair bit more mulch in the pot to cover the stem of the second blumat reader ... so the water inside do…

I know you folks get asked this ALL the time, so I do apologise in advance. Sorry. This is my first grow and would like to know if you can tell me if this is close to harvest. Background: Strain: Auto feminised Northern Lights. Grow time: 11 weeks Flower time: 7 weeks Issues I have had: Fungus gnats: Didn't even know were a thing until they were in numbers, Knocked them back with sticky traps, cloth on top of soil with sand cover. Problem was they still seemed to use the holes on the bottom of the pot. SO used H2o2 and smashed them all. Some leaves started to get brown/yellow spots. Nut Burn (no lockout): Noob mistake this occurred at start of flowering but never…

Hi crew I’m about 2 weeks into flower from lights flip . Just starting to show some pre flowers now . I’ve never really known when to add PK to be honest as following feeding charts some people say from when you flip others say flowering starts when the pre flowers form etc blah blah So here’s a couple pics - do I wait until the whole buds have filled out and then add the pk or do you do it now to get the buds to gain size ?? Any help appreciated Thanks ! Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hi guys, Have a few Big Bang auto fem growing a couple have really thin leaves? Anyone know what it could be? Many thanks Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

I've got 4 NL fems germed in small rockwool cubes now. Plan is for them to get under a 600w hps. Veg for maybe 4 to 6 weeks then go to 12/12. I have 1gal and 3gal fabric pots which I'll fill with vermiculite and perlite. Theyll be fed by my recirc system which I can time to water however and how much I like. If planted in the 1 gal fabric pots I know they'll dry out quicker but thats OK as I'll just feed more regularly. Should I expect a lower yeild from the 1 gals as compared to the 3 gal pots or similar if I water the 1 gals more frequently? The reason I'm considering the 1gals over the 3 gals is because they sit on the lid of my tote which is used to catch ru…
