Plant Growth Regulators - interesting information https://friendlyaussiebuds.com/australian-cannabis-education/pgr-toxic-weed When we first published this article (June 25th, 2018), the members of FAB were just doing what they could to compile loose bits of information found on the internet. ‘Plant Growth Regulators’ were the subject of many a forum thread… however, by and large, people didn’t really know about PGR. Information was disparate. Since then, this article (and topic) has gained a lot of attention from within the cannabis community. FAB has been waging a public awareness campaign against Plant Growth Regulators in the form of stickers, merchandise and pr…

A common problem many growers face is, how to maintain a diverse range of strains, without firstly, increasing plant numbers and secondly, without extending veg room grow spaces. The answer to this question may lie in the technique known as grafting. Grafting is used in many plant nurseries to produce consistent fruit in plants such as apples, passion fruit and citrus. And may also be applied to cannabis. In the citrus industry a variety known as a fruit salad tree is often produced. A fruit salad tree may contain various species of citrus on the one root stock, so you can have a single tree that produces; oranges, lemons, mandarins and grapefruit, reducing space require…

Hi Guys, Well I've been cloning for awhile now, and noticed that OSA has no pictorials (that I've seen), of how to clone. So prepare yourself, for: Eikel's rockwool cloning method! My cloning method is rather basic, just a plain-old rockwool method. To date I've only ever lost 1 clone using this method, and that was due to a mold infection. Ok, so you will need the following: - Scalpel or VERY sharp knife. - Scissors. - Clonex Purple. - Oxy-Plus. - Water. - PH-adjusters. - Superthrive. - Flower Nutes. - 2.5" x 2.5" rockwool cubes. - Humidicrib. - Fluros. Attached is a pic of the chems I use for cloning. The first step is to pre-treat your rockwool cubes, n…

after much digging on the subject I found that the majority of the information against palco PGR was pumped out by GMO companies, and to really fuck yourself up from palco you would need to eat a gram of it for every kilo in your bodyweight. A single treatment in a DWC system can be easily cleaned out by flushing. The single treatment is defined as when flipping at 12/12. I cannot find anything much on chlormequat, even struggling to find the msds. But I did find there was quite a bit of disinfo regarding BRIX, which has a natural PGR, a member on here made a claim that it was plastic resin, when in fact its carbo loading, and a natural PGR. I find it quite fascinat…

Howdy I sure you all have heard the usual many reasons for people wanting to grow .. for me mostly I want to be able to control what I'm consuming. So i have made the decision, and away we go.... ...but i'm overwhelmed with choices .. pls help me get started (or at least narrow down my research) I have some skills with plumbing, lighting and water maintenance (I've had planted fish tanks as a hobby) and hence will be going the "grow room" hydroponics approach. I plan to start small with only 1 or 2 plants at any given time, with coco-fiber substrate, cloth pots and continuous flooding with nutrients. Trying to keep it s…

Hi there. Im having trouble working this one out. I have 3 of 4 plants that seem to o be showing signs of of nutrient problem. All indoor. I am running LED's with 110 litre pots with about 80L of medium, have mixed my own soil ( perlite, premium soil, muchroom compost, castings, rock mineral, some cow manure) i noticed that they had PH problem about a fortnight ago. i forgot to add dolomite lime when i mixed the soil. added about 3/4 cup worth of Dolomite lime and 1/4 cup of hydrted lime to them to correct. they seemed to respond well to this and got some vigour back in them. 5-7 days later i gave each a compost tea. 2 days after that i gave them ( dynamic …

I acquired 3 seeds - 2 are autoflowers and the 3rd (a freebie) I gave found out is a photoperiod. They all germinated in a few days, which surprised me, and are growing well. Now, my problem is; do I treat the auto flowers as photoperiods as in light schedule or wait until the autos have finished and flip the photoperiod down the track? I don’t have the funds to add another tent etc. I was expecting massive seed failure as I did from my previous purchase and only expected one survivor. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. Who else here owns a digital USB microscope? I just bought this one from Jaycar. It's OK, but the software which comes with it sucks: keeps causing my computer to hang and becomes unresponsive, and uses a lot of CPU. The instructions are not too bad, but I'm trying to figure out how the magnification can be increased or decreased across the range from 10x to 300x (which is what the sales materials and box specify). It seems like you increase magnification by turning the dial on the side, and then you focus by moving the microscope closer to or further away from the object that you are imagine. Is this correct? I have never used a microscope before... A…

So I got hold of some Blue Cheese Autos from expert seeds. Tried to germ the first 4 in Jiffy pots and after 8 days nothing popped. I checked them out and all 4 were doing f all. I squeezed some run off out of the jiffy's and the pH come in at 4.3, I thought that's not real good and could be the problem so I put another 4 into a paper towel with water ph'd to 6 and 3 days later no sign of f all. I read a couple of reviews on the interwebs and there seems to be others out there who reckon all the experts seeds they tried to germ were duds. So just wondering if anyone on here has run any of their strains with any success? I'm thinking I'll throw all that I have in …
