I don't keep molasses in the house but there's pretty well always a tin of golden syrup around. Maybe GS is too processed?

PH'd water ec'd nutes don't understand could be a bit of over watering ??

I want to be able to grow 1 or 2 plants for personal use I am just worried about the legal status, am I allowed to have one in my back yard? Is it socially acceptable to grow 1/2 plants even if the cops see it? Am I going to have to grow this in my wardrobe? I live in Melbourne, down on the Mornington Peninsula, I was thinking of maybe planting it in some random location, is this practical? What time should I plant these random plants?

What would people recommend, gel, powder or liquid? Does one have a better survival rate? I already have some powder my wife uses to strike roses but I was wondering if it's worth forking out for some Clonex.

Hi. I'm pretty new to this but I'm an eager learner. Here is my deal. I have an aerogarden that I'm using for cloning (my grow is soil). It works good but I'm only using tapwater and adding a little 3% hydrogen peroxide each day. Thats it. No nutrients or anything. I get roots on all of them EVENTUALLY (some strains much faster than others), usually between 10-20 days they show roots. By the 8th day or so I am seeing yellowing of the leaves and little burn spots on the tips of the leaves where I made cuts. I eventually move them to soil when they are ready but alot of times there are no leaves left at all by the time the roots are enough to transfer to soil. I us…

Hello everyone!! I am in the fourth week of flowering 10 plants in coco and was wondering when and if I should start pruning some of the larger fan leafs off to allow more light to access the bud sites, how much should I take off? any particular methods? I have heard of the 'Staircase Method' where you take of every second leaf on alternate sides of the plants, has anyone tried this......just want my buds to grow big!!! ...interestingly I have topped a few of the plants and fimmed some, as well as letting others grow naturally, will post some photos soon showing which method is the most effective for bud production and weight

Hey all Me and my mate are looking into the wonderful world of outdoor growing we are planning to grow out in the bush near were we live , we've had a few indoor crops nothing to major , and I was curious as ive heard a few conflicting things as to preparing your area. I was wondering if its worth the trouble of fertilising the soil before hand or if its a better idea to do it when your transfering plants over ? And what is a good fertaliser to use? Next questions i suppose would be the use of water crystals and wether they are actually worth it? i have heard that water crystals can also soak up liquid fertiliser which can lead to burning the roots could anyone cla…

2 plants every 2 wks sounds like a bounteous harvest. but the different periods veg vs bud doesn't work out well, does it? I may have to use smaller pots and have 3*2 veg and 4*2 in bud. Two spaces each capable of handling 6 pots, rotated as 6 pairs of 2. Day0 - a pair (P1) of cuttings are taken. This pair sit central in the 18/6 after probably being set aside in dark for 24hrs. Day14 - P1 move to the side and a new pair (P2) go in. Day28 - P2 move to the side and P3 move in. Existing 'mothers' are used for P1 and P2 but as of Day28 it is expected that the eldest pair (at this stage P1) will become parents. Cuttings are taken 28 days from when they themselves we…
