Hey crew So It’s my first attempt at scrogging,! I’ve only ever done the standard way with some lollipopping but always ended with a nice cola and smaller to popcorn buds down low on the plant so thought I’d try this way after some reading and research Brief description - 600w hps, 1.5mx1.5mx2m tent , in coco , drain to waste Well.... I think I didn’t do it right , I installed the screen after 4 weeks of veg and some light lst to spread them just above it and let it grow about another week and flipped them - now I’ve been spreading them under the net and popping the pre flowers up through , seems to be doing okay but then I read I should have popped them up in veg and…

So maybe some of you have seen my dungeon space already in my grow diaries. I'm considering another 600w light to grow 4 more plants under. The area is not very easy to access so I don't want to be climbing around to get to it so often. That means maybe only weekly watering and prefer no mixing of nutes. I'm OK with bunnings soil and know that's not ideal. So far I'm thinking 20L hempys with hydroton in the res and the soil up top. I figure the soil retains the water well and contains most of what the plant needs in terms of nutes. The hempy res I might make a bit taller, up from 2 inches to 3 inches so it holds more water and wicks it up into the soil. Hopefully weekly w…

Total area still collecting same light. LSD and Liberty Haze from Seedsman. Also have Kush and Cookies for CBD and Jack Herer as freebie. Cheers Modaf

Hi guys. I want to run a total of 4800 watts. Its not a huge amount but however i am a little concerned as I read an article by country energy south australia that they have the tech to get knowledge of who is grkowing. I have a smart meter. Just curious is it too much power and it will be flagged. And secondly can they tell you are doing 18/6hrs or 12/12hrs? Bloody smart metres. I have cancer and need my medication. The shop down here in s.a reckons its fine. Just pay the bill and youll have no issues. But im curious to know if THEY know you are growing. Cheers coolio.

with many nth american notillers using biodynamic compost ... thought it might be interesting to check out a few vids. really enjoyed this one ... gives a good overview of biodynamic principles although ... would suggest starting at about the 7 minute 30 sec mark ... unless you have missed kennie G or bad jazz and accents. don't think Bill is really onboard with biodynamics ) also, think you would need a very supple wrist if going down the biodynamic way.

G'day all There was some good discussion on when growers start counting their flowering period on Newbudgrower's thread 'When dyu count your day 1 from. From the information given, I reckon from now on for my own grow records (and any future grow diaries i do), I'm going to include both the light flip date (for me, I start on 13-11) and also the initial bud formation date. As such ... I was hoping for opinions on three photos to let me know, when you reckon initial bud growth has occurred - that way, hopefully there will be a rough agreement and it might help new growers with seed company flowering guesstimates. alrighty then ... so the first picture is at Day 6 sinc…

Hi crew I’ve been reading up on cloning while flowering they’ve referred to it as monster cropping . Royal seeds and Bergman talk about it but just wondering if anyone on here actually does it ? I wasn’t sure if the added stress would run a higher risk of hermi plants or not . (After my current grow getting a hermie and having 4 of 8 plants go to seed I’m paranoid now ) They say MC is great for scrog but I haven’t seen any posts of anyone mentioning it so could all be bullshit but enlighten me if anyone does Cheers

I'm moving on to my second grow. Previous was DWC and now I'll try supersoil with a SCROG. Got everything on the way to start except the pots. I think the Geo fabric smart pots sound good and 3x 26L should fit my 4*2' tent nicely. I'll sprout in peat cubes and plant in 4L smart pots. Should I use an intermediate pot between 4L and 26L? Maybe 11L?

Hi guys. Recently saw a mate of mine and he has been "freezer curing" for years. Reckons its the best for terpenes and some serious very beautiful aromas. Bassivally he would wait till fully dry. Then he would vacuum seal it completely and put it in the freezer. Somehow while its vacuumed sealed it goes through a process and ends up with the perfect cure? Also good for long term storage this way? Someone else told me NOT to vacuum seal after dry and put buds in a breathable plastic bag or such so they can cure that way. Im unsure the best way to do it. However my mate swears by vacuum sealing. When you open it up after a month or even 7 days its just perfect? …
