Hi there How much direct sun should new seedlings get outdoors? It's high 20's on average most days where I am and am uncertain if new seedlings should be getting direct or indirect sunlight, or a mixture of both in the early days.

I have done a search and can't find any info. I have heard here and there that you have to be careful about what your nute tank is made of. I always buy a bunnings special usually $10 for a black plastic 60 litre tank. Are these OK to use or should I buy one specifically made for hydro from a hydro shop. Does anyone know what can actually happen to your plants if the tank is leaching? regards aussie1

Do I need one of those biodegradable pots for hydroponics? I have a pot with four holes on the bottom middle of the growing pot. So If I use a growing medium (say rockwool) and will cover up the holes. Will the roots find their way into the four holes through the bottom into the reservoir ?

G'day all! Last sunday I felt extremely lucky when my single plant showed it's sex to be female. But now I'm wondering if I've got a hermie (I have no idea of strain or anything, it has just been grown from a seed I found in a stick). I was hoping someone with some experience would be able to look at my pic (link below) and tell me if the circles of red are male flowers, because I'm not sure as this is my first ever grow. I intend to continue growing, since I already have several rooted clones. If it does happen to be a hermie, should I be pulling the male flowers off to hopefully grow more seedless bud?? If the pic isn't clear enough please let me know and I'll t…

Hi everyone I was reading some old posts and saw that Sukonmi Skunk recommended taking the crowns from the plants and let under growth come through for the next 1-3 weeks. What I was wondering is should I take the crowns at 8 weeks and let the rest go longer or take them at say 6 weeks and let the rest go to 8 or 9 weeks Any thought appreciated auusie1

One for the new growers. When mixing your nutes make sure you mix your a + b separately and well. Add part A and mix then add part B and mix well. Once you have got to that stage make sure the maximum nute strength is no more than 1300pp as thats all a plant can take up. Any more and its just a waste of nutes. I see so many ppl with nute burn probs , and its not that hard to get right. So keep the nutes in check and half your problems are solved.

G'day! I took some clones last week and now they're looking quite sad (Link to photo below). The one on the right is about a week older than the rest and the leaves are turning brown. They're in an esky with a little bit of tap water in the bottom. I spray them a couple of times a day with a weak nute spray (should I be using just plain water?). And I have been keeping a compact fluro on them, probably a bit too close. I initially had glad wrap over the top to keep the humidity in but I removed it after a few days. But I have just put some more back on today to up the humidity. Does any one have any tips to help them perk up? They were looking very healthy for a whi…
