Hi welcome to my nightmare, I really need advice from experienced auto growers Sir and Five I'm thinking of you guys and any one else that's grown these things I put in six fast versions 3 strains ,all about 5 weeks old 2 strains showed sex really early about at 3 and a bit weeks . Then the other day I found those 2 strains (4plants ) are autos Must have been a mix up from the mob I bought from well that's what I'm thinking So I'm wondering if these look OK for their age . . . The pic with six pots the autos are back three and centre front The plants either end of front are same age but not showing sex hopefully they stay photoperiod …

Hey what's everyone's thoughts on ratio to mix?

I read the community rules and cant see anything prohibiting comment on where you can get items on the cheap so have posted here incase anyone was interested in the TNB (brand) CO2 cannisters/refills or various other products. I tripped over their site when looking for the cheapest refills option for my newly acquired cannister, I was shocked that there is no postage cost! If you order something you go straight to paypal and only pay the cost of the item/s as listed on the site. My refill turned up today (along with some trimming shears I am going try), it cost a flat $25 Canadian ($24.55 AUS) The same thing on Ebay starts at $39 so it was a pretty good saving of arou…

Hi Everyone, I would like to start a little growing journal as a very new hobby grower. found all of the different journals very helpful. Unfortunately I couldn't find enough beginners ones. I will share the evolution of my 2 ladies as well as mistakes and success ( hopefully ) I am not looking at investing in the best of the best, I know my set up is not the most ideal for the BIGGEST YELD but share this for beginner like me that don't have the budget nor time to be 100% dedicated to the plants and show what to expect. I am more than open to all of the tips and advices of all kind as I definitely don't entirely know what I am doing. Please this is not a thread …

Hello, I am new to this. I only started smoking a few months ago and have only consumed cannabis products on a handful of occasions. After casually chatting to my mother about trying it, etc I discovered that she is a user (the things ya learn). Anyhow, I had a friend who was supplying but he's moved away and apparently his supplier does not want to be known (fears of getting busted, etc). So I've decided to grow my own. I figure it will be a good way to get high quality marijuana (in terms of potency and safety). Also, I don't like the idea of supporting a criminal organization (not because of their 'illegal' 'drug' enterprise but because the funds are often used to su…
