General Cultivation Q&A

Hi, I am currently growing G'UNK and my 2 runs to date have a funny/dirty taste to it. I am wondering if the nute's i'm using could be a contributing factor? I am using a generic brand from my local shop. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. RR

hello friends i am going to be starting a grow for the aussie season in a few weeks and am searching for a nice simple soil mix to get me along. I have heard that Fox Farm Ocean Forest Organic Potting Soil is a good choice but am not too sure if we are able to get that in Australia. So does anybody know if you can purchase this here, if not anybody got some nice recommendations? Also if you have any suggestions as to what to add to these potting mixes. Or any suggestions on using a different soil for the seedlings or veg stage. I am going to be starting them off inside under lights for a few weeks than moving them out into the woods in the ground. So any suggestions would…

G'day, Jayson here... Introducing myself and seeking opinions on my 1st plant - <Smile> I've almost finished setting up my 1st hydro system and in the meantime, I've been growing this little one for approx 3 weeks now and stressing it once (Soften & Bend technique) approx 4 days after transplanting - I think it's looking pretty happy in there atm... What do others think please, any opinion and constructive crits are more than welcome - cheers! I've attached a JPEG (I hope - grin) for all, please feel free to fire your comments, if you want to that is - <SmilE> Enjoy!!!

Hi Ho Everyone, about to start the final flush, any comments on using Commercial Final Flush. Cheers Gills

The other night I was reading an older post on how to build a DWC set up, I was that baked I can't find it again, it was a fantastic tutorial with great pic's, too baked to bookmark the page Anyhow, this is the setup I have decided to go with, I have now gathered all of the required equipment and should be ready to go in the next week I have some seed on the way from Nirvana, but the only thing that concerns me is how the seedling will get water & nutes being so high up in the medium?? The only other thing I need to know is what is the optimum temp to keep the water at?? My setup will be a 4 pot system growing Supergirl and PPP! Cheers! Canaman

Hi there all. Just wondering if anyone has done an organic coco grow? I use the Canna range mostly but wouldn't mind giving organic coco growing a go. Any information about the nutrients (brands etc), the grow itself and the end result would be greatly appreciated.

well dudes, i have been reading a little about water cloning and i like what i read, so i thought i would give it a go, these are Red Devil clones i am taking, should have done it weeks ago but being a slackass i didn't, i have basically followed the procedure in another thread (forget which one exactly) here a a few pics of how i have set it up, there is about 150mm or 18litres of solution underneath the foam lid, which came from those foam food boxes used in the industry, if this style works it really is too easy, will keep posting on the progress
