Hey everyone, Just started my first grow from some old bagseed. I just threw 3 seed in a pot with a soil mixture of normal garden soil, and some 'Biogrow' planting mix. Put them in a low light area outdoors, and nothing happened for a couple of days. I decided to screw it and just whack them out on the front balcony, which has direct sunlight from about 6am till 2pm (and is quite well lit, although not directly, until about 5:30pm). Anyway, low and behold, I noticed after 2 weeks since I planted the seeds, a sprout was growing! hurrah! Follow the link to see some pictures of it: (sorry about the size) My plant Anyway, I was just wondering what to do next. I will …

I have soaked some seeds from my outdoor strains,Indica and Sativa, overnight in filtered water over night,then placed them on moist/wet paper towels in jars with glad wrap over the top. I have then put them in my "terrarrium" (fish-tank),under 18/6 fluoro light cycle and they have sprouted REAL quick ! Is this good ??? I am trying to get a head start on next years out-door grow and am trying to get some plants up ready for planting at the end of August. I was just wondering if the germination rate has any bearing on the final product. Any responses will be greatly appreciated Cheers.

G'day Ozstoners, Just wondering what a good organic fertilizer for flowering to use?? I have used "seasol" and "powerfeed" during the vegetation stage and now that the blooming stage is just about to start, I am trying to find a good source of organic phosphorus. Most brands I have looked at only seem to have a broad spectrum NPK. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated!!

While at the 2004 Nimbim Mardigrass I had the chance to sit down with one of the founders of Canna, and was asked if I grew indoors or outdoors, as I came from Mackay at time I grow outdoors and was told about Bio Canna the organic solution for growth and bloom. It appears Canna has gone out of its way to provide the outdoor grower, who wants to use the good gear on their babies. Now I am not giving a free plug here, but I am always of the believe, if there is something outhere that will assist in better yields then talk about it, so others can try it for themselves. So if any outdoor grower likes the idea of organics for there plants give it a try. I would myself,…

my plants seem to be very bushy with not enough height on them . there is not much light getting into the new shoots . any reasons why or could this be just the type of plant im using.
