Hi Fellow Oz stoners, Latley ive been very keen to do a vertical SOG grow. Have seen the coli, cage and cube grows over at overgrow.com, and im just wondering has anyone tried this method of SOG growing before. The coliseum looks unreal for people who have limited space and wanting big returns for there light. ie. the 300 site coli has 1800 watt of vertical light and returns about 10-14 grams per plant every 56 days. Thats over 9 elbows or 1.25 grams per 30 days per watt of light in a 2m spare space. Any info would be helpful. Regards, Jack

HI Guys Been feeding two plants nothing but water the past 6 days and getting ready to harvest. This will be my first harvest and dry, so all help appreciated. These are the steps i'll be taking and questions I have 1) Put plants in complete darkness for 24 hours before harvesting. Is this necessary? 2) Pull out plants, cut at base, just above soil and then trim off all leaves. 3) Run safety pin through base stem and use that to suspect the plants upside down 4) Put them in a dark well ventilated area. Does it matter if a little bit of daylight seeps through or does it have to be complete darkness? 5) Leave to dry for 4-5 days, then cure if they're sufficie…

Hey guys My mate started this on the 1st of feb, started vegging on the 14th, and had been growing since. http://i46.tinypic.com/mwun11.jpg 600W HPS Coco coir (washed) Canna Vegga A & B nutrients No ph, PPM meter Temps probably too high (30 on top, 25 top of coco) Not "enclosed" space. 3 Fans going(without which it would be a sauna). He topped it way to early, which he now knows stunts vertical growth very badly. http://i39.tinypic.com/15gunex.jpg Being frustrated by losing some little ones and still not knowing if its female, he decided to top it again, and let it grow... http://i43.tinypic.com/2u598ns.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/68yc13.jpg You can see by earler…

Hi all This is a bit of a funny story about a poor abused plant that has been messed around, but somehow seems to be soldiering on and looks like it might be starting to flower. The background is that I grew six plants and this particular one was male. Well I thought it was male. After all the others grew white hairs..etc.. this one seemed to have no hairs and kinda mini sac things growing where it branched off. So I separated it from the rest. From there, I did not care if it lived or died so i put it next to my bed. It's growth stopped. then I forgot to feed it, used to give it a little drink from the left over glass of water on my bed side table. Sometimes I for…

Hey guys, i'm ordering some seeds and will be paying by mail, but after i had a look on the Australia Post website, i found that i am apparantly not allowed to send bank notes, at least to this particular country (England). The only other option i found was a western union money transfer, and im not sure if the seedbank im looking at will accept that (the seedbank is gypsy nirvana seed boutique) So i just wanted to ask how i am supposed to get my money to them, and if anyone knows if this seedbank accepts western union transfers?

Hi, I used to think weed grew everywhere (unless stomped on, eaten or stolen..) but after a look at some posts I'm totally overwhelmed!! I have read around but just a few quick questions: 1. Can I plant a seed in a pot and move it around like Leon the Professional when the need arises? 2. I live in a rental house, I was thinking of putting the pot plant in my wheelie bin when inspection time comes. How realistic is this? 3. If I have it indoors, can any bugs/diseases kill it? 4. How long does it take from seed to first smoke, on average? 5. How complicated is hydro, in it's simplest form, ie for one or two plants? How much can I expect to spend? 6. How many harvested …

Just a query, if your growing outdoors in a remote location that is not covered by trees and its nice and open with lots of sun and you have a few plants of decent size, should you be paranoid about choppers seeing them? Im not talking just christmas trees in a barren field but you know like amongst smaller sized plants. Do cops even do stuff like they do in the States? Another question, if you had holes filled with good soil in the ground would it be a bad idea just to throw some of the old soil, which is predominately average soil of a lighter colour over the top just to blend it in with the ground around it or does that some how effect like water drainage and sun to th…

everyone who has polenated their plants knows why they keep males a long long long way away from their females, but for the newbies and the ignorant here's a pic that simply demonstrates why. simple background on this situation... I had a small plant no bigger than a foot tall i germinated in early summer and kept it in a pot far too long for it to develop (since my yard has enough plants in it already) When i topped it, I made a clone of the plant and that too stayed in a pot to grow no bigger than a foot. After gender showed i moved my male plant to another location and then decided to plant my two 1 foot babies close to the male specifically to be polinated, time…
