Hi all, I'm obviously new to all this and am in the stages of planning my first grow I've been reading and following a few indoor grow diaries, watching video's and doing as much research as possible. I feel like I'm about ready to get started however I have a few questions regarding how I'll have this setup and would really like to get some opinions... This is just a personal project, so I'm not that worried about yields yet - I'd rather know that I can actually grow something without it dieing as I'm not much of a gardener (yet!). I have been looking at a space in my wardrobe, the space is tall and not very wide - the measurements are ~2000mm high x 450mm wide …

Hey there, new user here (but an old fart) I got 5 auto NL seeds and five auto widow seeds. I think I the NL are Nirvana. Anyway I have seen quite a few mentions around the traps that auto Nl Is a dud, it is not auto, opr even it does not exist. I got 4 happening from the 5. The first one to germinate is 28cm after 3.5 weeks and has just turned (very nice plant), the rest are about a week behind. Does anyone have any experience with these? So far, assuming they are actually auto NL (I think some kush in there too) all I have read may be crap or have I just been lucky with the first one?

I'm new to this site, hi. I have previously dabbled (not particularly successfully) with growing before moving to Oz, and was using a hydroponic setup in a wardrobe. I'm now keen to try an outdoor grow, say in a pot on the balcony of my top floor apartment, and am after some advice from people that have used the same kind of setup(s) that I am thinking about. How can I avoid detection? How do I cover my ass when the landlord rocks up to check the apartment? What is a good soil to use? These are the kinds of questions that I have... I'm also considering using a grow tent indoors for over the winter, but also as another option for if/when the pot gets too stinky outd…

So I'm looking to undertake my first grow. I'm looking at a wardrobe DWC Drip system. The Wardrobe i've got is 57cm Deep x 72cm Wide x 107cm High. It has a self contained compartment above that's about 40cm X 72cm X 30 cm that could be used for cloning most likely, it's also got 4 drawers on the bottom. I've got some $$$ to burn so I'm looking at a few pre-made hydro setups on eBay. Here are a few options, let me know what you guys think: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Big-3-Hydroponic-Drip-5-netcups10-gal-fully-assembled-/260743805760?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb58abb40 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/6-Site-Drip-Hydroponic-System-Kit-Fertilizer-grow-/130490167…

Hello I am in Perth WA and am thinking of growing 3 plants as mate gave me a handfull of seeds before he went back to Queensland last month. I dont want to grow them hydro though,I am going to grow soil in pots under light however went to Bunnings today to get medium however there was so many different sorts that I left empty handed with the thought of getting some advice from someone hopefully also in Perth. First question I would like to ask is what is the difference between potting soil and potting mix and should I be using potting soil or potting mix? Also can anyone advise me which potting soil or potting mix to get to grow some decent plants as there must have…

Howdy, pretty sure its up to week 7 of flower but they still seem pretty small. I may have really miss calculated the time here or just forgotten by the looks of it. There's that and i think the cold has really slowed them down a bit too. Im in a 6 foot tent big enough for 2 plants with an oscilating fan and heat chord around the pots for a little extra warmth. (400hps) im not sure what to do feed wise tho now. Obviously i dont wanna start bringing it down if they arent ready. I was hoping for some insight if posssible. Im using Canna A/B and Rizho. Ive been adding a product called uptake after i ran out of Boost. and ive been adding molasses to bring up the rest …
