Hi Guys, My Plants are doing well and its almost time to take some clones before I put them into flower. As a newbie, cloning seems a bit complicated I have found a method that looks alot easier. http://www.overgrow.com/growfaq/1122 Please check it out and tell me what you think Bucket.

Hi all, I just recieved 10 seeds and now I can finally start my long awaited 1st grow! I have a large seedling tray with a moisture retention lid with some ventilation holes in the top and a heat pad under it. My indoor wardrobe fitted with a 400W HPS lamp is big enough for about 3-4 fully grown canna plants, I have no other rooms or light fixtures to separate males from females. So I'm assuming I'll have to plant double the amount of seeds for the desired amount of female plants I would like to end up with, and maybe a few more just incase? Should I just sow all 10 seeds in the search for 3 healthy females (for my first grow) I'm planning a mixture of potting s…

G'day, I'm confused as to how often I should fertilize my plants. Do nutrients (Canna) dissolve after a while or are all the elements still present in the reservoir? Should I only be adding nutrients when I add more water? Whats the go? dwyndorf

well shit, my plant is dieing, when i layed down all those rocks i gave her a good feeding, well it wasnt very good let me tell you cuz all of the Fan leaves are turing a rust color, with yellow blobs, is there any way to save her, i cut the fan leaves that were affected,

this is prolly a dumb question but here it goes.... where can i find a seed at in my bud if it is pollinated? where would it be located at in the bud?

Ok guys, heres the dillo! I've been reading up and hear that sum ppl dilute stuff like vanilla essence and feed it to their plants and it gives the bud and the smoke a diff flavour? does this actually work or am i just gunna kill the plant, i think it was a table spoon when watering a 40.5cm plant one every 3 days

Hello All, I've got some bronzewhaler f3 seedlings growing in rockwool and expanded clay. In the past I've used Miracle Grow until the seedlings have a got a few sets of leaves and then switched to Canna for both Veg and Flowering. Does this sound right? Or should I start on the Canna straight away? Thanks

my plant is in a 3 gallon bucket with compose and poting mix., I am moving her to a new area and i want to know if i can lay rocks down on top of the soil and around the main steam, the reason is because i want the soil to hold in water better, because i will not be able to moniter the soil like i do now, so i finguar to lay down some rocks so the sun will not be direct, and when it rains the water will still be able to reasch the soil no problem. is this a good idea, or does anyone got a better plz let me know. -tyo

Hi there ozstoners. I,m a long time smoker who's sick of paying top dollar for weed. A week ago i got 8 seeds from my stash and planted them all in one large pot. Now that they have sprouted i would like to keep them going and stop wasting my money. I've been doing alot of reading on the net ( i knew stuff all about growing) and learnt that this is the wrong time of the year to grow, unless it's done indoors. I have a small cupboared in my room that i could use that's about 4" high, 1.5" long and 1.5" deep. I asked a guy in a hydro shop for advice and he suggested a 130W fluoro, but said the plants would only grow between 1-2 feet tall. The upside was that he said w…

Hi Guys, I've noticed that not many people have water heaters in their reservoirs, should I bother using one? I'm in Vic and its starting to get cold now, down to 10 degrees at night and getting colder. Cheers dwyndorf

My first experience with clonex wasnt good. I must have killed about 20-odd cuttings when learning how to clone so I gave up on cloning as a bad joke. I have recently been rooting strikings without any rooting hormone and have cloned more than 20 cuttings this way with 100% success and only 3 days humidity but anytime I pulled the clones up to wash the peat off it was basically only a couple of thin roots coming off the plant [every time] so they didnt have much vigor. So... I grabbed some clonex 2 weeks ago to try it out again [it is a rooting hormone afterall] and I used it on 2 cuttings I took from a pre-flowering plant. Im bloody impresed with the roots this thing…
