I am thinking about buying a new tent and am a bit overwhelmed by the choices. The tent i was using last winter was an unknown brand but worked very well, the main feature that it had that these new ones don't seem to is extra flaps of canvas around the zips to stop any light leakage. My last one had a straight zipper down the centre, not sure what i think about these semi circular zippers. I do like the fact that these tents have side access windows as i usually do SCROG and it gets a bit busy so being able to get at the back and sides seems like a great idea. Money is not really an issue. I was hoping that some of you folks might have an opinion on the ones i have added…

Hi guys, I hope everyone grows are going well! My first out door is going to be concluding fairly soon (I think). I've been growing outdoor in a small plastic greenhouse for privacy and I'm growing a strain called CBD hash which flowers in 7 weeks. I have a few questions at this later stage of the grow: 1). I'm not exactly sure how many weeks i've been flowering, but I'd say it's been 3-4 weeks or so? Is it normal for this many leaves to be yellowing at this stage? I know more energy is going to the buds and with a fairly short 7 week flower time maybe this happens more rapidly? I have upped my feeding in the past few weeks also... Previously I didn't feed the plants …

Checked this morning and found my HPS 400w had blown sometime over the last 24hrs. Quickly threw my trusty viparspectra in. I only use my HPS for flower, always Led for Veg. Any good recommendation for a hps brand only good for flower? I don't want a full spectrum as my Led covers veg (keeps them short and bushy I noticed). Thanks all.

So today I noticed one of my plants looked a little different. It’s node seperartion is much greater than my other plants that are a lot tighter and bushier. It has just started flowering and there is the usual calyx’s with white hairs protruding but also seed pods with no hairs. I’ll attach a few pics. This is only my 4th grow so I am still learning but this looks very different. I did have abit of light interruption a couple of weeks ago with visitors staying at my house and not being able to run my tent the entire time. This was for a few days. Thanks very much for any help given

Does anyone know of varieties that will do well in in cool/cold weather? I do have a hydro setup in a weatherboard out building that is lined with plywood but here in the TAS winter the room gets very cold even during veg with the lights on(6am -12pm). I had an oil filled heater running 24/7 in there but even so temps consistently got to 8c-11c overnight and anywhere from 12c-16c of a day. I tried growing 2 varieties I had previously grown during the summer (the Church & The Doctor) but they were extremely slow growing and suffered terribly with magnesium deficiency which the horticulturalist at the grow shop said was due to the low temps impairing/preventing the …

Having some issues with my older plants with curling leaves and brown tips and one that took alot longer to bud but is now getting skinny leaves that point down and seems that some of the lower flowers are yellowing which I possibly put down to cal/mag deficiency?? . You will see in the photos, they are all auto fem and auto flowers cheers.

Just wondering what you folks use when starting off seeds in the Clay balls in a Hydro setup. Last year i used rock wool and it went OK but the rock wool cubes seem to hold a lot of water, maybe too much for the delicate root system, i have read of people having issues with these cubes. I started the seeds in the wool then when they were about 2 inches high i picked a lot of the cube away and just inserted what was left in the clay balls, as i said it went OK but just wondering if there is a better way. I have seen the collar things but not sure if the actual seed is planted in the collar or do you pop the seeds in another medium and then transplant into the collars? Anyw…
