Anyone know where I can get hold of some 6" diameter plastic horse shoe drippers ? I tried a few hydro shops and they only have big ones to suit five gallon drum size, I want them for the top of 9" netpots. I can make some using copper tube but I'm not sure if this is a good idea in a hydro system. :scratchin

Yellos, I am more excited than big Kev today... I have just received my first seeds from PlanetSkunk. I ordered Lowryder seeds but also got free lowryder X Blueberry Seeds. Not sure which one to grow first - decisions. I am in the process of finalising an indoor stealth grow and would love to find out more about the following: 1. Given they autoflower should I just go straight to flowering lights once germinated and established after a couple of weeks ? I think the answer is yes but it just seems wrong. I havevery limited space so am looking to do this under 130w compact flouros and have the option of 2700 k, 6500 k and 14000k - all have a 10,000 lumen output. …

Hi all, I have a question about planting clones, I will be ordering clones from just kutz hopefully this week. Now I'm pretty sure they come with roots already started? and they would be in some form of growing material? So when I get them do I just plant the whole deal in my soil mix? or do I remove them from their growing material? (or does this stuff just break down in the soil?) Secondly, I have 20 litre pots that I will be using for the grow, but are these too big to start the clones in? From what I have read there are benefits for both on one hand lots of room for the roots, but some posts say that rootbounding the plants then transplanting makes for the bes…

.. i recently bought some canna organic acid strictly for ph and made the mistake of using some dutchfest chemical nutes together now i have some shit-green funky bacteria in my rez.. and my ph has been totally erratic since soon i will change to a bottle of phosphoric acid to lower ph but just curious if there was any anti fungal//bacteria solutions i could use to help out my grow, .. it would be a shame to see this plant die.. showing some slight symptoms of mg deficient lately or maybe it's more then a secondary nutrient .. but the first set of seedling leaves have been spotting/yellowing around the edges/veins, in vegie stage atm ..yea and also i have been having to c…

HAS ANY ONE EVER TRIED USING TREE BAGS? u can get em at any nursery and there fuckin great! first of all they come in 2 sizes big (50litres)and biger (100litres) second they have handles so they can be moved quickly if theres need. and finally if there out in the bush u have them in holes in the ground, with a bit of camo(sticks bark)around the base so the pigs in choppers dont see them. if you want to grow hugeplants (8Ft+) then u carefully cut the base of each bag before u place them in there holes so the roots can grow down into the earth.
