Hi All, I'm a first time indoor grower and recently aquired a grow cabinet. All the wiring is professionally done, and there aren't any lights touching wood or plastic or anything like that. I'm super paranoid about fires though. At the moment i've got my lights set up so that they're off whilst i'm at work. But trying to sleep is a problem, as the extraction fan in the grow cabinet is damn noisy. Am i being paranoid? Seriously has anyone had issues with fires/heat in their cabinets? And if so, what are the signs to look out for and what steps do you take to avoid things like this. Regards,

Hey all, I am looking into grafting different varieties of my fruit trees in the yard, while i was watching videos on how to do it, naturally it came to mind..How about grafting cannabis!? Sure enough it's been done before and i'm sure many of you know about it, here is an example video of multiple strains on one plant: I know it's possible for grafting on to a branch already, but what about grafting onto the rootstock of a cannabis plant? if you had a plant that is going through flower, after harvest could you graft a new top or younger plant onto it to keep the already huge root system alive and reveg the new cuttings or does the system just shut down after the pl…

This morning i was checking all my potted plants (including my veggies and a carob tree i oddly found growing down the side of the house that i stuck in a pot) I usually just look under at the pots to see if any roots are coming thru and i usually noticed worm castings (i didn't know they were worm castings until today) under the pot of the carob plant, after pulling it out to check the roots, i found 2 little earthworms happily going about their day, and the little plant was doing fine, since they've been going through the soil the worm castings have been falling through the drain holes. anyway, My question of the day is... Will it be much benefit to drop in a couple…

Hey all, I have successfuly cloned my baby plant since I topped her, it's been 2 weeks since i put the stem in a jiffy pellet, although it was a very slow wait, the leaves never wilted once and it looks pretty healthy, some very slight burning of the very tips of some leafletts but the overall leaves are fine. The roots never showed through the peat moss untill just recently although i only noticed the roots appearing today, i would assume they pushed through 2 or so days ago? now that the root system is established, how long should i keep this clone this way before transplanting into some soil mix? it's only about 8-10cm tall, should i wait for some new growth or put …

Hi guys, I have a question about my first baby's premature death. It was fine when I checked it this morning, and about an hour ago I came home, and the stem had bent at soil level and it was drooping sadly against the plastic cup in which it was growing in. I've been growing it in a jiffy pot, and only watering it when the 'soil' turns a lighter brown colour. I'm not fertilising at the moment but I am watering it with mainly pond water. I leave it outdoors too so I don't reckon light is the major issue here. I've piled some more soil around it, so that it has more support now, but I'm not hopeful that it'll pull through.. any suggestions as to what the problem is? …

I've been taking clones and inserting into rockwool, grwoing them under a flouresent light for two weeks and then putting under metal halide for two weeks of growth. Its a turbo tank sorta design with two 6inch air stones down each side and a pump with 4 little sprayers spraying down the middle and plastic mesh pots holding the rockwool and a few clay rocks around it. Is it possible to just skip the fluorescent bit and put my clones in rockwool straight into the plastic mesh pots and grow them under metal halide from scratch? Cheers ya'll any input is good input.

I've found I can never find anything I'm looking for via the search function on most forums without having to wade through 20 pages of posts only to find one highlighted search term amongst each post. I am looking to install a whole of house water filtration unit and high capacity RO Filter, but not sure which to get. All the versions I see online seem to be either massive, read Lotsa $$, commercial units or basically rebadged OEM units originating from the same factory in China. So I thought I might collect some information to share regarding RO and Whole of house filters and some of my fellow OZ Stoners reports, good and bad, on the units they've tried. So, pleas…

Hey all, one of my plants that i topped with three stems i'm training to run horizontal, at present it's in a small pot (see my other thread for info and pics) i can see some of the roots almost poking out of the drainage holes however the plant is only 10-15 cm tall and new growth is about 5-10cm outwards. I want to keep this plant healthy but i also want to keep it compact including the pot size for the moment so i can at least get another 5-10cm or more sideways growth. My Q is should i just repot it and stop fussing? or can the plant veg out a fair bit for the size of pot? Astro.
