Been reading about auto flowering strains like AK47, Lowrider etc. Pretty fascinated with the concept of discreet plants you can place anywhere & harvest up to three times an ouotdoor growing season. Any feedback on strains, reliable seed companies & techniques would be appreciated. Cheers

I got a parcel the other week that contained 2 x freshly rooted clones. I potted them up with a 50/50 coco and perlite mix. The pots are quite large and can easily hold 5L of nutrient solution before any will drip from the bottom of the pots. This is a very simple setup that I water as needed every couple of days by hand. I have them both under a 150w MH 24/0. The Sensi Star is directly under the light and the Salvia is off to the side. After the plants have established themselves a bit more, I will turn on the other light and start taking clones as they grow. From here the new clones will go straight into the main grow room. Easy-peasy.

Potassium Sulphate K2SO4 Monopotassium Phosphate KH2PO4 Magnesium Sulphate MgSO4 Potassium Nitrate KNO3 Assorted trace elements in powder form. cheers Merc.

Hi, my lights accidentally were too close to my 3 day old seedlings for an evening and they are dry and flopped over but half of the stem is still strong. Should I start again or can the seedlings be saved somehow?

I just found 2 out of my 4 plants are either male or hermi, lots of balls and only 8 days into flowering. Thinking about separating them and harvesting them for seeds ( think it will be great to keep for future either for me, or strain trade with others who have other strains i want to try ) Because there White widow and Great white shark. How long until i have to separate before i risk contaminating what im hoping are my 2 ladies.

The other day I was having some problems since recently PH down has been released with a child safety lock but to incorporate this requirement, the bottles no longer have the "dripper" on the top.. I have been told some people are now just drilling in the lid, but I tried adding the "dripping" lid from an older bottle of PH down. When I was filling my tank solution, the lid came off, and the solution poured straight into the tank for a second or two.. I didn't think it was that much, I shook the tank for 2-3 minutes, and then checked the PH and the meter said it was fine. The next day I was a little suss, so I checked the secondary tank (the main tank is pumped into t…

Hey to everyone I have just changed nute brands as they were the only ones available. I usually use Nulife A + B and add canna PK-13-14 at week 5. The nutes I now have are Dutchmaster Advance, plus they recommend you add Dutchmaster Max. It seems from product description that it is a P & K additive that you put in every tank from start to finish. Does anyone know if you still add PK 13-14 at week 5 with this new stuff? I don't have the product in my hands yet, but the info on the product label was sketchy. Thanks to all aussie

Hey all This is my first post, I have been reading every post I could find about getting some seeds of my own, the whole import thing still after reading many posts sounds risky. We all know IF the pigs wanted to bust u for barley anything at all they can and will if they are asshole enough. I will have to bite the bullet and import (thing is I live with my parents still sadly) OR I was thinking the only other alternative i can think of is drive to Nimbin which would take me like 10hours, now what would the chances be that i get there and cant get any or a decent amount? I have no idea if it should even be an option? IF I import i would use a prepaid card and order unde…
