Hey guys Been reading the cannabis grow bible(LOVE IT), and it says that, for vegetative growth, NPK ratios of 12-12-12 and 20-20-20 are the best. Problem is, i went down to my bunnings today, and couldnt find a single nutrient product that had the ratios i was looking for. Kept finding things like 20-12-4, 12-18-10 and so on. Where do people buy their nutes from? Maybe its just my local bunnings, or do i have to go to a proper hydroponics shop? A specific brand would be very helpful too. Thanks for all your help in advance. Peace

hello all, im seeking a diagnosis and a solution if possible . my plants are looking kinda shitty after 4 weeks of veg with yellow drooping leaves(pics below), after reading through WantDaChronic's post on Nutrient problems i though i may have been over watering my babies, but after a few weeks of less water there is no improvement. before i slowed right off the watering i was watering my plants by cup, feeding each plant 1 litre every 2/3 days, ph 6.4 with 1000ppm of nutes using xtreme root protector, vega A and vega B. dont know if there is anything im missing so any help would be great thanx ppls!

Don't believe everything you read. A mate of mine gave me this booklet, probably in the late 70's. I leave it to readers as to whether they send our 70's hippies a dollar. 00 cover 01 background 02 forward 03 contents 04 history

After washing and doing a pre soak of 40lts of perlite i ended up with all this perlite dust in the bottom of the bucket. All that stuff will settle to the bottom of what you are growing and can block drainage lines and cause probs. And that dust isent good for your lungs so make sure u cover your mouth and nose before you open up the bag and start playing with it if you have to do inside...
