It's coming to that time where temps drop a bit (they already have). I'm growing indoors in a large open space with the intake from outside. Because the space is large with only a small grow I can't heat using an oil heater or similar. I've done a fair bit of reading about heat mats and the consensus is to remove them after the seed pops the surface, kept on longer may result in root rot. My temps have gone as low as 13 in the room. Would it be ok to use the heat mat under fabric pots in winter? Even though I use a 400w hps it doesn't really heat up the space because it's so open. Opinions? OK to use the mat underneath during winter? MLG Posted from the OZ Stoners mobi…

Penny for your thoughts. I have a very slow growing plant. A GSC auto in DWC (yes, probably a bad decision for a noob). It's 5 weeks old today, bushy but very short (11cm) and is showing no signs of flowering. I don't want a 4 month grow! - 300W LED - Small tent in garage - temps 20-24C - humidity 40-50% - THC nutes Grow A + B. Gradually increased to 3/4 of dose shown on bottle. pH has dropped to 5.5 since so will back off to 1/2 dose next rez change (EC 0.8). I think I was giving it too much relative to its size. - 20/4 light schedule Leaves are pale between veins since beginning. Have added some epsom salts but no noticeable change. Not sure if I need cal mag. N…

Heard a few stories about timers failing due to heavy startup loads with hps lamps and ballasts. I am getting ready to flip in the coming week and have been running lights 24/7. Got cheap bunnings timers for exhaust fan but don't think it will hold up for the 600watt hps lamp I'll be running. Any suggestions. I'll post a few pics and a few more details later if I get some responses. Cheers. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Medium - straight coco in 3 Gal fabric pots. Nutes - House and Garden and a bit of calmag sometimes (to be sure, to be sure) Watering Method - DTW I'm in week 4 of flower (or there abouts) of my NL grow and finding that my every second day watering is not enough. My PPM is anywhere between 800-900 at the moment when I feed. I'd like to change to a daily watering. Because I'm doing so, should I be reducing my PPM to let's say 700? MLG.

So ive had a bit of a suss at this https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/sensibo-sky-smart-air-conditioner-wifi-controller-sensibo/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_listing_ads&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5Prm4qvd2wIVxpSPCh2B4gjJEAQYASABEgIUzfD_BwE reckon it looks the goods for what i need, remote access to temps sounds amazing. I think it was someone on this board i saw mention it but shit gets muddled up in my head with all the forums haha. Anyone got any experience with it? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

So then i'm having trouble with some of my plants and im digging deep into the plethora of information on ph.... I use a funny mix which has always worked well for me and ive been keeping it at a ph of 6.0. I use ozi magic nutes along with this mix The mix consists of about 50% coco, 10% compost/worm castings etc, 25% perlite, 10% 5mm gravel & 5% river sand. With dolomite lime at 2tbsp/gallon. I tried just coco and perlite and it retained waaay too much moisture. So my question is what is the correct ph for a mix like this? Should i treat it like a hydro/coir medium or does the addition of a small amount of organic matter and some lime make it a "soil" mix? Al…

Was thinking of giving some autos a go once my photos are finished which will be around June. Just wondering how much they're affected by the time of year. I know that they will obviously be effected by the amount of sunlight they receive but will I still be able to achieve a decent grow if I were to start them around July? I'm in central QLD so winter is mild and daytime temperature still gets in the mid 20s. I grow outdoors and would grow them in a hydroponics setup in coco/perlite while I cover crop where I plant in the ground in prep for next season. I have never grown autos so any advice on growing or good strains for my region will be appreciated. Posted from the…

Jiffy pellet placed in organic soil mix around 2 and a half weeks ago. Received plenty of light and wind movement. Appeared some problem on the first leafs, as in the photo. Appreciate if someone can help identify the problem. thnx

Hey everyone. Im just looking the white dwarf auto from buddha seeds.. just wondering if anyone has grown it before. Any notes? Reviews? Experiences with the strain would ve greatly apreciated?? KrippLedKritteR Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

if your making compost teas with air stones it's possible to have living organisms in the stones which are hard to clean & you leave a cleaning product residue that takes lots of time & water to remove a air lift brewer or as Tim Wilson aka Microbe man calls them , the microbulator , is a better option in more ways than one they are much easier to clean , you can pull all the bits apart to do so , but by Tim Wilson's testing it seems a better air / environment for multiplying life than using air stones , the PVC pipe bits , bungee cord & hose , cost round $45 for 50mm , i used a PVC end cap & drilled a hole for the hose in that prob need to drop…

In short here is a summary of my first attempt at growing . Nute Burn , in to a PH lockout . Lost a plant managed to save one which is slowly getting better now ive moved it out doors . Below is a scanned picture of my leaves the ones i have trimmed for more information about my setup check my grow log this is a seperate post for advice on futre problems . I will upload a photo of my plant on this post to get some opinions of wether or not I can slavage it . Theres a long list of fuck ups I made to long to list . I ticked every fuck up in the book , Cheers JYK IMG_20180610_0001.pdf

So ive made a bodgy 20L bucket aeroponic cloner with a pop up sprinker cost me about $50 seems to be doing what its supposed to. Just a query with guys in here that use this method for cloning, do you guys run 24/7 or is it better to go like 15mins on / 45 mins off or some other timing schedule.

Hi all! Got a question for the more experienced growers. Couple of weeks ago I re-built my grow-space, which took 48 hours. I have 2 plants which are roughly a month old, so only about halfway though my desired veg time. During the 48 hour rebuild period, I made sure the plants didn't get more than 12 hours of darkness, as I was planning a few more weeks of veg time. But apparently I failed, as both plants have now shown sex (1 male, 1 female). Obviously the male is getting cut today. My question is about the female. At this stage, it has the 2 white hairs showing in multiple areas. So its very early in flowering. Should I try and re-veg the plant, or am I better off …
