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.

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,…

hey i was sorta wondering if i should be leaving my air pump on in the dwc even when the lights are off ? the roots are in the water. i usually run it when the lights are on but i was thinking maybe it should be running 24/7 ? any info would be great.
