Hey guys, lightning and I are thinking about building a Hempcrete house and looking at the possability of growing what we need to get the fibre required to do so. Has anyone applied for a licence to grow the commercial stuff, and what do they require when you apply? lightning worked out we need something like 2ha, we are trying to work out if growing is going to be more expensive than simply purchasing the bails from growers as we would require around 500 (I think) bales to build the basic house to begin with. Anyhow any info you may have will be appreciated, oh yeah we decided to apply for the first home owners grant and purchase our repayments will be less than rent …

Topping a Plant 1. Locate the very top of your plant and cut through the main stem just below the newest growth. This should be done after the 3rd or 4th leaf set but can be done at any time after the 3rd leaf set. 2. Shows Plant Top cut off and where the 2 new Branches that will form a "Y" in the main stem will grow from. 3. Shows the newly topped plant after 2 days of growth, notice the Y in the Stem Forming. FIMMING A PLANT! Fimming is actually no different that topping, what fimming does is virtually the exact same thing only your leaving part of the new growth. This only takes of part of the new growth and actually topping the very very new growth which is…

Hi everyone, I am wanting to grow something different that is not so common in Australia and I am wanting to try 2 or 3 different strains. Where I am from people don't really know much about different strains so they just take whatever is around judging it by how it looks and most people that grow it don't even know exactly what strain they are growing. I have looked at many strains but there is just too many options and I cant choose so I thought I would ask for your suggestions. It doesn't matter what strain it is but I want some feedback from people that have actually smoked it. The only catch is that it must be available from Planet Skunk http://www.planetskunk.co…

I knew that only fertilised plants can produce seeds, but seeds can be found in the flowers too, my question is if they are fertile or not? thanks.

So I am going to order some new genetics over the internet, probably from greenhouse seeds and I have a couple of questions if any of you have had experience with this. What I'm wondering is should I use my real name for postage address?? If the beans arrive in a regular envelope then an alias will be fine, but I am concerned that they will come in a box/package that I will need to provide photo ID to pick up from the PO. Or If they send TNT do I just need to sign? What is the safest way to get beans in the post?

Hello - I'm not only a first-timer here, but also a first-time grower. I'm growing a couple of plants outdoors in the sun, in large pots. They're doing really well, so far. (10 weeks old) I have a problem with nosey neighbours, however, and wondered about pruning the plants to keep them low. Could someone please give me some advice on how and when and where to prune my "babies"? Many thanks in anticipation, Oz1

Hello All! This is my first post on this site and I just want to start out by saying I am proud to be a member of this greatly established community and hope I can learn and share as much information as possible with yall. A few months back I was charged with a DUI, therefore I am under supervised probation with random drug screenings every few months (Bastards!). So in the meantime while I wait to smoke again, I have decided It would be enlightening to grow my own crop, so when I can enjoy my smoke again, I will know the quality, and also not have to be ripped off by money hungry pot dealers (no offense, I know everyone has to make a buck) I think I have a pretty goo…
