General Cultivation Q&A

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.

hey guys have been speaking to a few of you guys on the forum here on the site and most of you have suggested it is time to start giving my babys some nutes considering they are 3+ weeks old... so was wondering if this is the best option to go with my coco/perlite outdoor grow Hydroponic Dutch Master Hot coco/Original Grow A+B 1ltr any comments are welcome guys shroomyshroom

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

Hi there everyone. I'm still new to this and was wondering for how I should flush? I'm growing in coco, using Canna nutes and into my seventh week of flowering (8 week strain). Any hints and tips would be appreciated. Also, what should I be looking out for before I start the flushing process?

Got this from down at good old Mitre5 this morn... thinking of putting in a few shit hot seeds I have Am I wasting my time, my seeds and the $8 the thing cost me? looks like a go-er to me if the coco in em is ok. Anyways will keep ya's posted on the results, if there are any feeling experimental THC

I have a problem, think my ph is way too high. Plants are in soil. 50/50 worm castings and organic potting mix. I transplanted one plant and gave it a light spray with a weak solution of Seasol, about 2 mill to one ltr of water. The result was the yellowing of the leaves and slowed growth. The other plant I have left in original pot and I gave that a spray as well not as much as the transplanted one. But it has slight yellowing on the tips of the new growth. I am just giving them straight water atm. Above is the transplanted plant. This one has yellowing on tips of new growth.

hi there guys, nice forum you have here, got a little question, my plants are all done in there final week now, and i am flushing them daily with about 30 liters of water each, the colour of the water comin out the bottom is only slighty tainted now, do i have to flush till completely clear ?? i am using hesi nutrients in soil, thanks

Ok I know I'm a STRANGER!! but I'm going to ask anyway..... Has anyone tried adding flavors to their grow? and if so how did you do it? I mean did you add apple juice to your ferts, or grated orange peels to your growing medium? Could it be done?

A few yrs ago I had seeds that grew variegated shade leaves ( white and green ) They looked like pure indicas and were very well camoflaged in the bush Unfotunatly the seeds were destroyed and I didn't take photos. Anyone ever seen this before and better still got photos.
