Hi Im trying to develop a gel that i can use as the soil,I was thinking of getting pectin,mixing it with nutreints and soil turning it into some soil jello jam and then cutting them up in small chucks,i figured that water would drain better and plenty of air would get to the roots. any thoughts or advice on this matter? or has anyone tried something similar?

Hi, So I recently purchased a large Nylex container from Bunnings as a nutrient tank. I got it home and realised that it says on the inside "recycled plastic do not use in food handling." I'm guessing I need to return it? Some advice would be great. A link to a suitable replacement or some pointers to one would be awesome, too, if necessary. I'm having a hard time finding suitable things that aren't stupidly overpriced. Bunnings had some food storage containers that were a suitable size and significantly cheaper, but they were clear. Maybe I'm just blind.

Hey guys, being a first time grower, i found some of the terminology or slang to do with growing a bit confusing, so i did a search and found a topic on a different forum with most of the information i was looking for. I couldnt find anything similar on this forum so i thought i'd repost it here. This is the link to the original post. Vocabulary of growing terms/slang I DID NOT WRITE THIS, I MERELY COPY AND PASTED IT. Full credit goes to MajoR_TokE from rollitup.org Hope this helps everyone! Peace, Crunchy.

right people i need a question asking becouse i am heading towards my 1st harvest but my plant is small and i dont wanna harvest it this time around so i am wondering. if i dont bud this time round and leave the buds on will i be able to bud them when they get bigger or is it a one time only ? or can i bud it this time round and bud it next time round if i just cut the bud branches off ??? pleaseeee help people and thanx ~bandit~

I'm getting a DR100 grow tent (100 x 100 x 200cm) for my next grow and wondered what method I should use for best results? I've been using autopots in a wardrobe up until now, but it's time for a change and am planning a SCROG with my 400w HPS. I have thought about using the NFT grow tanks, but the smallest is the NFT 205 which is 71cm x 40cm which in a room of 100 x 100 is a lot of wasted space. The next size up is the NFT 424 at 112cm x 50cm which is too big. So I wondered what would be the best method for a SCROG in a room 100 x 100cm and how many plant I should use?

Hey guys, firstoff sorry for perhaps an unclear title, i was unsure of the exact terms for my question; i am looking into buying some seeds from a seedbank (possibly from holland?), and assuming mine arrive and everything looks ok from a glance - when do i have to start using the seeds to get them to germinate (i.e - is there a point that if i do not do anything to the seeds they still die eventually?) thanks in advance

Just curious as to what type of water people have and use. As I am getting back into a grow cycle after moving I just checked my tap and rain water: Tap water PH=9, EC=0.8 Rain Water PH=7, EC=0 Luckily I have a 20,000 litre rain water tank which should take care of watering nicely. what's everyone one else got.

Hey smokers, I'm about to embark on my first outdoor grow - in September (I'm in Sydney). All the grow diaries that I've seen and most info I've read show growers getting their girls to harvest point and then ripping them out of the ground - Now it's not like I'm an extreme hippie who is shedding a tear for all the beautiful plants who only get through one season before they are uprooted, but is there any benefit in killing the plant at this point? Does the plant only have a single "good" flowering cycle in her life, or is it merely a safety measure to reduce the risk of being busted with a giant tree?? Years ago I met a bloke at the pub, got talking and we ended bac…
