G’day organic/biodynamic No-Tillers Been noticing lately that there are a few stores selling soil amendments in Australia - one at least seems legit, but some of the others are very questionable … one even uses the word ‘Organic’ in their business, but doesn’t sell any organic components. Thought it might be time to start a thread where we can list our organic suppliers. In this situation … I’m thinking those that are certified by Australian organic/biodynamic/demeter organisations would be great. If that is not possible, either organically grown/sourced in Australia and are known to be free of the ‘cides’ or lastly … have organic certification from other countries. O…

I've got 6 cuttings I'd like to experiment with indoors under LED. Interested to trial Canna Terra Pro (CTP) in pots, hand watered. Who has used CTP here for a few grows that can give me some advice ? Things like plastic vs cloth pots: watering frequency: whether need to PH every watering /feed, or if CTP buffers ok using their A and B brand nutes ? Any gnat problems ? Need to add extra perlite? Any calcium/magnesium issues similar to Coco ? Any other disadvantages of the medium versus soil ? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Lounging on the couch after a few hot ones. Thinking about spraying my plants, and how rubbish my pump sprayers are. I thInk the droplet size is too large for any sort of decent contact/coverage before run off occurs. (not very effective and wasteful) Typical garden pump sprayers, 5ltr, 8ltr. Didn’t skimp on them. Probably should have. Anyways, back to the couch......stoned.......surfing for a better solution. What about something like this? https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-700w-airless-paint-sprayer_p0048851 Hahaha......gotta be good yeah? Anyone using paint guns ?

Hey all thought this may be of interest to some people maybe. Found this study in a thread over at icmag it seems to show there is no change in the nutrient levels within the plant during the flushing period, they also found no increase in production when plants were fed during the usual flush period. So no need to flush the shit out of plants, also no need to pump them with nutrients during flush time. Just give them water according to your normal watering regime for the flush weeks. https://atrium.lib.uoguelph.ca/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10214/12125/Stemeroff_Jonathan_201712_Msc_with_erratum.pdf?sequence=8&isAllowed=y icmag thread https://www.icmag.com/ic/sho…

Okay pH was fine (6-7) Then one day after a feed it dropped to 5. I tried to flush with pH Neutral water to no avail this actually lowered my reading AGAIN after i have been told to flush to reset pH etc. Went out and bought manutec pH raise, applied a small amount to around 9L of water and now my pH is sitting at a consistent 3 and im half way through flowering and fucking worried. Im very broke and looking for some constructive answers/opinions. My grow was started late september its in its second and final pot (been told to transplant but im not doing it im way too inexperienced don't want to kill plant so late) old fan leaves are turning yellow quickly with rust spo…

Bunnings nutrients 1 2 3

Hi Iam a first time indoor grower and having good results so far using Canna products. Iam growing in Canna Terra and using the run to waste set up. the only down side of this is that the Canna nutrients are very expensive. The other day while shopping at Bunnings I came across the hydroponic nutrient section and had a look at some of products from Manutec. The low cost was the first thing that got me wondering if the nutrients would be any good for weed. For example a one litre of cannazym cost around $80.00 and one litre of Manutec organic plus is $13.00 . Wondering if anyone has used Manutec products for good results or any other info would be appreciated Thanks Darkie

Since I've got my recirc setup I've been wondering the best way to do things. My feeding are only limited to the max number of program sets of my timer. Has anyone tried a fabric pot (was thinking 3 or 5 gal) with all perlite? Would think it would dry up super quick. The feeding frequency would need to be a few times a day but that's OK, the timer would look after that and I'm not wasting any nutes as they go back into the tote ready for the next feed. Any pros or downsides I'm missing? I plan to give it a shot. MLG Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hi all. How's about this rain? Wonderful! May it continue to fall and out those fires completely. This is my second grow and I have just put 3 black Domina clons, 2 critical orange punch and 1 white widow on to the flower cycle. I have got these things I have never seen before on the stem of the black Domina, is it normal for a clone, or is something going on I need to sort out? When the BD, flowered before I did not notice these.
