Hi all, I'm going out tomorrow with $50 to get some stuff for my soil. I was thinking along the lines of mushroom compost or potting mix. Please give me some suggestions on what I should get. My soil is a rich black loamy soil, it has lots of brackern ferns in it so I'm not sure if it is acidic or not. Your suggestions will be much appreciated. Peace out, Marty

I know that newspaper gives off a fair bit of c02 when it breaks down, has anyone used it as mulch or other? interested to know if there is enough co2 produced to make a difference outdoors? i know some growers stick to the older forests for this reason, just wonderin if the newspaper would be any good???

So you've worked hard and grown the sickest crop ever! Luckily you cloned the girls before (or short after) they went into 12/12 so you can do it all again. Or did you? A lot of people have problems keeping their stock alive. Heat, fungus, flies and spiders to name the biggies tend to find the weak clones easy prey. Where is a healthy plant can overcome a lot of stress clones need it easy. Well you could race out and buy a cloning bin or some cloning wax. The first one keeps the humidity high so the plants don't dehydrate easily. The Wax slows leaf transpiration to a similar affect. But why? Remember house wive's are always swapping plant cuttings? They just place the pla…

Here's a few new pics of my OG just taken today, the plants havent been looked at for nearly 5 days, hence the dead leaf and scruffy apearance, all cleaned up now, hoping for a harvest in a couple of weeks at a rough guess, I've got a few seeded buds on 1 plant from the stressed branch that had male flowers, but most of it appears ok, I'll try and make some higher quality pics next time.

It said in another thread to keep ur seeds in a cool dry and dark place. I found the place its in my freezer where the ice box is. But is it okay to store them there? Like will they freeze be unusable? Thanks guys.. -Andrew

after the seeds have germinated in paper towel can you put the sprouted seed straight into pertlie/vermicule? I've usually done it straight in rockwool cubes but want to know if I can do it directly into the medium. Cheers Geek

high everyone well, my babies are a bit better. I posted in a different forum before.. OD'd them on nutes when they were too little *DOH* anyways just had a few questions 1. they are about 3 weeks old (grown from seeds) and 3 of them are about 2 inches high, the other 3, 1 inch high and have about 10 leaves on them each.. is this about normal growth? i have the light cycles 22hrs on, 2 hrs off but my mate seems to think they are small for that length of time? 2. I read somewhere that to sex the plants you cut the light cycle to 12hrs on/ 12hrs off when the plant is one-third the size you want it to be eventually and to rip out the males ASAP... but i got my seeds …

Hey all, I'm sick to death of having to pay for MJ, so me and my stoner mate have decided to grow our own. But there is a slight problem, we have no idea where to start. We would be growing inside, and we would probably use some sort of box. I spose I can keep updating the thread when we need more help, but for the moment I need the following questions asked: 1. What are the best seeds to buy off MJoz for some beginners, we would like a mix of both active highs and chilled highs (is this possible)? 2. What would be the best indoor set up, what have you used successfully before (ie materials, set up, dimensions)? 3. What fertilizers/light should we use? We want to g…

Im trying to improve my methods of growing so for my new grow I want to try new things. I was going to warm my nutrient temp. with a nutrient heater. I have a Aero grow were the roots grow in a chamber with spayers, It worked excellent last grow!!!! I had temps in the nutrient tank at room temp before like 70 would warming it to 80's degrees which will make it more humid and arrid in the chamber is this a good idea??? Also which are better heaters? Titanium or Glass, i thought that metals made nutrient blocks or seomthing?] KK

Hi guys, Can any one tell me what is wrong with this plant? It is sitting next to one that is looking quite healthy. Both are on the same nutrient feed line. Details are: Seedlings 2 weeks old ph 5.5, nutes 10 ( 700 ppm ). original water cf 3 Temp. above plants 25 - 30 deg C, water temp 25 -26 deg C. Using expanded clay in a recirculating system. Pump on 15 mins every 3 hours. Any help appreciated.

Happy new year fellow stoners I have got a few mothers going at the moment but want to let them grow a bit more ( a white widow, durbon poison,blueberry and a origernal mango). I just bought a diggy camera but my computer doesn't have a USB port it's a old computer just been upgreaded have one in the new year post some pics soon. Anyway I have heard that there may be somewhere I can buy some clones, at the moment I can not find any indoor anywhere plenty of stringey bush (near makeks u want to stop smoking). If anyone can help it would be great thanks punked
