Hi guys, I have a couple of seedlings growing. They sprouted their first pair of round leaves, then their first pair of jagged leaves no worries. They now seem to have stopped growing! In the past, I have been used to pretty rapid growth at this stage, but these guys seem to have just stopped! They are not dying and they look healthy, just no new growth! :thumbdown Any ideas??

hi i currently have a good crop going now but some leaves are turning yellow around the edges. is this a problem at all or is it maybe something to do with the light etc? i am using a 600 watt and the temperature is 100 f but the plants love that heat for some odd reason. now i am told i can feed them with BIO GROW which i am using every 3 days ( 2 drops per water) . some ppl tell me that you can feed them every day is that correct or what is the maxium feeding? i have 10 plants but not sure how much to give them etc. is anyone else using BIO GROW at all and maybe could give me some advice?

hwdy guys and gals. doin my first indoor soil grow. actually using Eikel's indoor soil grow guide which is great. and gotta agree. plants look a lot better in soil. anyway, in that guide it says to use an extra compost with the soil. I'm using a soil mix with dynmic lifter already in it. using fish kelp, powerfeed and liquid polash as my nutrients. I did have mushroom compost, but said on the back it wasnt to be used indoors. So wonderin if I need any extra compost? and if I do, what can I use next time? Cheers..

Can you grow hydro seeds outside and still call it hydro? Or does it have to be grown hydroponicly?

hi all how do others dispose of quantiies of leaves, stem and particularly rockwool slabs? i dont put em in the bin. not because im paranoid that someone is looking through the bin (by that stage i figure your fucked anyway) but because theres too much to dispose of could they just be taken to the local tip? or do others search for dumpsters like me! i find this to a particularly stressful activity, driving around at night with a car full of garbage bags looking for somewhere to dispose of them! im not talking couple of bags. they have piled up to about 15 atm

Gday, Ok, a pretty straightforward question, i got a small growbox, and basically wana control smell (not cover it up with another toilet spray kinda smell) ....so, do ionisers work at all?!... in say controlling 1 to 2 plants. any other ideas on ways to eliminate smells, i figure carbon scrubbers or ozone generators are pointless with such a small growbox, any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, anyone actually use an ioniser?... im lookin at the one at dicksmiths ? Here Any good? any beter one's out there? thanks again. Later.

hi fellow stoners a quick question? do you have to take clones from your mother plant or are you able to clone you clones and get the same results?????? May you smoke be good smoke........

I put about 40 seeds in damp paper towel . I put 20 of these that looked swelled up in peat plugs about 5 days later. Soon I had several sprouts and put the tray under a 4 ft flor shop light with 2, 40 watt "OTT LITE" Plant growth bulbs . I had 2 varieties of unknown origin . They quickly grew about 3 inches and now have one set of true leaves. Today I noted one variety had produced several roots that grew out of the sides of the plug . The other type produced a single tap root out the bottom. Do some strains produce a fibrous root ball while another will grow a single tap root?

Hi Folks, Has anyone tried or heard any reports on "Gigantic Mighty Bud". It's an additive you use three weeks into flowering. My hydro shop guy recons it makes your buds like golf balls. At $200 bucks a pop it should. The bottle doesn't say whats in it (surprise surprise) My hydro shop guy gets it from Adelaide. He said it works as good as Rock or Sudden impact. I've heard of Rock and seen some photos of a grow with and without. Looked pretty good.

hi i want to start doing hydrophonics because soil growing hasn't got me anywhere. now my question is this. is hydrophonics any good and how long does it take to grow etc and what do you all need> i have a 600 w light with cannapy and foil but not sure if i need a fan ect? could you tell me also if this way is ahrd or what to expect?
