Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2003 11:30:16 +0100 "have a read when i was in the shop the guy behind the counter was talking to a anther guy and said a bloke came in moaning about superbud saying that it had fucked his plants up all curly and crispy he said he rang his supplier and they said use half the amount that it says on bottle they are going to make amendments to the instructions find attached info i could get hope it's some use to you let me know how they turn out it's £98 here so i think you might be one of the first people with results to…

Hi all I'm just curious as to what strains are favoured by some of the more experienced growers. What have you all found to be your favorite strain to grow? especially you Adelaide growers, i've been a fan of your "produce" for years now. cheers -cheebafan

Hi all, Here in SA my water ppm is 560 straight out of the cold tap & 700ppm out of the hot tap (I believe the difference is due to some of the water evapourating at the water heating stage & therefore leaving more metals/salts in the water after its been heated - this is the reason you should never boil a kettle twice as you end up drinking lots more dissolved nasty metals!) Anyway, I was wondering about different water ppm's around Aus & from rainwater. Adelaide is renound for shite water supply (I am reliably told that untill recently it was one of only two ports in the world where ships would not draw water from - the other port being somewhere in Indi…

Has anyone actually kept lights on 24/7 while vegging? i ask cuz after reading what i have i thought plants need darknees to go through sertian chemical reactions. Does it really work?

I've just cut 4 clippings for cloning. I've used plant cutting powder and placed in pots already and I don't know if you are to water them straight away or leave a day or so. Has anyone got a good guideline to stick to.

Before I ask this question, I'll first say that I spent a good 20 minutes browsing the board to find out for myself, and had no luck I'm a little confused here - being the ametuer botanist I am - when reading about nutrients I see all these terms thrown about ... such as EC, CF, PPM, do they all refer to the same thing? I have a vague idea from somewhere that PPM refers to parts per million .. I think. Looking up nutrient level readers I've noticed they're not exactly cheap either, well into the $100+ mark for most electronic readers. Are these things really necessary and is there a cheaper 'solution'? Hehe oops my bad pun there Thanks

Sup guys im amost finshed.. my grow.. and i was wondering how to go about harvesting.. ive been told to cut the plants at the bottom and hang em up to dry upside down in a closet or shed or sumthing, but i was wondering about the duration of time to leave them to dry out..? Then once, pulled up and dryed out.. ive been told to cut off the buds and place them in jars..? this im not to sure about.. if sumone could break it down for me that would b great..? how long do u leave your plants to dry..? and how long should i leave them hanging then once dryed out , is there any other procedures b4 smoking..? much respect

These are my ak47xc99, afghani#1 and G13, and an unknown strain. I managed to keep 1 each of my clones alive but they stressed a bit and i lost the other 1/2, Now ive the problem that they are too bushy, maybe left in veg too long ( trying to keep em alive) they are too bushy for my area and too many lats to scrog etc. I have been told to cut off the lower buds and branches to let the other do better, but hey where do i cut and how do i cut??
